“Coyote America: A Natural and Supernatural History” by Dan Flores

Dan Flores is the A. B. Hammond Professor Emeritus of Western History at the University of Montana. He will present a lecture on the coyote in North America. Legends don’t come close to capturing the incredible story of the coyote. In the face of centuries of campaigns of annihilation employing gases, helicopters, and engineered epidemics, coyotes haven’t just survived, they’ve thrived, expanding across the continent from Alaska to New York. In the war between humans and coyotes, coyotes have won, hands-down. “Coyote America” is the illuminating five-million-year biography of this extraordinary animal, from its origins to its apotheosis.
