Slaughter In The Sacramento Valley Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions
In the age of commercial market hunting, huge populations of migratory birds were slaughtered and shipped throughout the Country and the world. By the time Conservation laws and practices began to show results, some species were already decimated, and others had begun to slide into extinction.

Read about the true stories of avian destruction that occurred during the mass-market hunting days of California’s Sacramento Valley. You’ll hear from both the shooters engaged in the slaughter and the out-numbered and hard pressed wildlife law enforcement officers whose dangerous job it was to stop them. There are also stories of the unsung heroes of wildlife preservation—those people who have quietly gone about the business of saving those in the world of wildlife who have little or no voice.

This book provides and exciting glimpse into the rough-and-tumble and often dangerous tide into a bloody spell of American history that has long been ignored—a history in which the Federal Bureau of Investigation documents that the mortality rate of Conservation Officers is nine times higher than the next most dangerous kind of law enforcement.

Terry Grosz was a Conservation law enforcement officer for more than 30 years, both nationally and internationally. A natural story teller, Grosz writes about some of the remarkable characters he met—on both sides of the law—and some of the tight spots he got in and out of.

Very good reading. Always enjoy Terry's books on his life as a game warden. These are the folks that protect our wildlife, more people should be aware of how dedicated and faithful they are to that duty. Read Terry's books and you will learn just how people destroy our wildlife by breaking the law. Look forward to more of Terry's books

Was a great place for a true sportsman in Butte, Sutter and Corning Ca. To hunt water fowl. This writer tells of methods that destroyed this migration. I always wonder why all the duck numbers kept falling. Good book to read about human stupidity and greed.

The author packed more adventures and escapades defending the nations wildlife than 10 men. We can thank men and women like Terry that we continue to have the opportunity to enjoy our hunting and fishing traditions. Great insight into the workings of an old time wildlife officer. Terry has a knack for putting you “there”.
