The Historic Grizzly

No one brought the plight of the grizzly bear to the public eye more vividly than Frank and John Craighead, whose pioneering bear studies in Yellowstone were broadcast into our living rooms via black-and-white television in the 1950s. We watched with bated breath as these irrepressible brothers scrambled back to their pickup mere seconds ahead of an angry grizzly that had abruptly recovered from sedation. But the Craighead brothers weren't in it merely for entertainment. Their pioneering use of radio collars to study and track grizzly bears ushered in today's scientific era of bear management. 
These men, plus a number of others - some famous, some not - stood in the gap and courageously halted the fusillade of bullets, traps, poison, and poor policy in their circles of influence to staunch the flow of innocent blood and bring the grizzly back from the brink of extinction. Reply
