Buffalo: The Story of the American Bison

0/5 ( ratings)

An inspiring, sweeping view of the iconic animal of the Great Plains, in hundreds of spectacular color photos of bison juxtaposed with historical and contemporary paintings. As an art book it is the finest collection of photography of American bison ever published in a lush, hardcover format. It draws from the immortal words of Edward Douglas Branch’s 1929 masterful The Hunting of the Buffalo to tell the epic tale of Native Americans hunting the thundering herds that once numbered 30 million animals for food, for shelter and clothing, for sacred ritual and art, for myth-making and storytelling. Buffalo features endpapers of classic period paintings by Charles M. Russell and Albert Bierstadt of that golden era. It will appeal to romantics of the American West, students of Native culture, naturalists and wildlife lovers, history buffs, and those working diligently to restore the species to its rightful place as King of the Plains.
