Buffalo Man is serious fun. It is about a giant child's growing body and awakening mind. In the spirit of Rabelais and Swift, Buffalo Man is the story of a Gargantuan child, aptly nicknamed Gar-who was born out of the sky in 1848. He lands in the pasture of a Métis trading post along the Minnesota River. The following chapters record Gar's upbringing, baptism, adventures, and education as a physical phenomenon and a dawning prodigy. Episodic, comic, ironic, scatological, and mystical, Buffalo Man tells of the 1850s childhood of this Paul Bunyan of the river, living among the Métis, Natives, French-Canadians, New Englanders, and other European settlers along the Minnesota River during territorial times. A zany mix of myths, storytelling, singing, dancing, games, and jokes, Buffalo Man introduces the reader to Minnesota's last giant in a world that has no more room for giants.
