The American Bison was made the national mammal of the United States in 2016 but has been an icon of America for centuries. This book gives the history of the bison, or buffalo as it is sometimes called, from the ice age to the modern era. This includes the near extinction of the species in the late 1800s due to market hunting pressure to the return of the species as an agricultural animal and inhabitant of the parks and wild lands.The author, Keith Norman, has photographed buffalo in the parks and herds of the upper midwest including the herd and artifact collection of the National Buffalo Museum in Jamestown, North Dakota.The book also includes information on some of the uses of the bison as an icon for sports, governments and businesses throughout the United States.
