So Great Was the Slaughter

"So Great Was the Slaughter" tells the story of Arkansas conservation pioneers who worked to save the state's wildlife populations amidst threats from overhunting and market demands at the turn of the twentieth century. Through their efforts to establish game laws, refuges, and hatcheries, these unlikely allies laid the groundwork for modern wildlife management in Arkansas. The book highlights their long struggle against powerful interests and offers a compelling look at early conservation battles in the American South.
