Book Detail
$20.00Slaughter In The Sacramento Valley
Author: Terry Grosz
In the age of commercial-market hunting, huge populations
of migratory birds were slaughtered and
shipped throughout the country and world. By the time
conservation laws and practices began to show results,
some species were already decimated, and many had
begun to slide into extinction. This book contains true
stories of the avian destruction that occurred during the
mass market hunting days of California’s Sacramento
Valley. You’ll hear from both the hunters engaged in the
slaughter and the law enforcement officers who’s job it
was to stop them. You’ll also hear stories of the unsung
heroes of wildlife preservation—those people who have
quietly gone about the business of saving these wildlife
populations. This important book provides an exciting,
rough-and-tumble ride into a bloody spell of American
history that has long been ignored.
Terry Grosz was a conservation law enforcement officer for
more than 30 years. A natural storyteller, Grosz writes about
the remarkable characters he met—on both sides of the law—
and the tight spots he got into. This is his eighth book.
