Americans have celebrated it as “majestic” and “noble,” yet savaged it as a malicious predator of livestock and, falsely, a snatcher of babies. Jack E. Davis contrasts the age when native peoples lived beside the bald eagle peacefully when others, whether through hunting bounties or DDT pesticides, twice pushed the bald eagle to the brink of extinction.

Filled with spectacular stories of Founding Fathers, rapacious hunters, heroic bird rescuers, and the lives of bald eagles themselves.
