Elk Mystique by Mike Lapinski - Softcover

This big format, 8 1/2 x 11, all color book explores the intriguing story - in text, photography and illustration - of the American elk, or wapiti, over the past 300 years with special emphasis on the closing two decades of this century when the elk benefitted from the establishment and work of the Rock Mountain Elk Foundation. The Elk Mystique contains more than 60 color photographs, a dozen historical black and white photographs, and several illustrations. In a dozen chapters, Lapinski presents the elk in fine and personal detail in both vivid text and stunning color photographs. A special chapter outlines the history of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation from its inception to its amazing growth into one of America's largest and most prominent conservation organizations.
