Buffalo Land: The Untamed Wilderness of the High Plains Frontier

Buffalo Land: The Untamed Wilderness of the High Plains Frontier is a non-fiction book written by William D. Berry that explores the history of the American West during the 19th century. The book focuses on the buffalo, which were once the dominant species on the Great Plains, and the impact of their near-extinction on the Native American tribes that depended on them for survival. Berry examines the cultural, economic, and environmental factors that led to the decline of the buffalo population, including the arrival of European settlers, the expansion of the railroad, and the introduction of firearms. The book also delves into the experiences of individual pioneers, soldiers, and Native Americans who lived and worked on the plains during this time. Through vivid descriptions and historical accounts, Buffalo Land offers a compelling portrait of the untamed wilderness of the American West and the complex relationships between humans and nature that shaped its history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
