This book provides a fascinating account of the history, biology, and cultural significance of the American bison, a magnificent animal that once roamed the Great Plains in immense herds. The author describes the bison's habitat, behavior, and role in Native American culture, and also recounts the tragic story of its near-extinction at the hands of hunters and ranchers. The book is a tribute to this iconic species and a warning about the dangers of human impact on the natural world.
