- Synopsis
- From the Book Jacket: In the 1800s millions of buffalo roamed the North American continent. By the beginning of the twentieth century fewer than 500 remained. For hundreds of years, the great buffalo herds had been of pivotal importance to many native peoples, who developed their cultures, communities, and ways of life around them. Yet for many settlers and soldiers, the buffalo was little more than an easy target, thoughtlessly hunted to near extinction. Since then the buffalo has become a powerful icon in North America. This book traces the natural history of the North American plains and wood bison, their origins, life cycle, and folklore about them. It also describes the successful conservation efforts in the twentieth century and the place of the buffalo in North America today. Discover the world's animals and the physical world in the WorldLife Library from Voyageur Press. This highly acclaimed series brings you the latest research from leading naturalists, along with stunning color photographs of your favorite animals and of our fascinating natural world.
