Blood Memory: The American Buffalo (HBK)
The epic story of the buffalo in America, from prehistoric times to today - a moving and beautifully illustrated work of natural history
The American buffalo - our nation’s official mammal - is an improbable, shaggy beast that has found itself at the center of many of our most mythic and sometimes heartbreaking tales. The largest land animals in the Western Hemisphere, they are survivors of a mass extinction that erased ancient species that were even larger. For nearly 10,000 years, they evolved alongside Native people who weaved them into every aspect of daily life; relied on them for food, clothing, and shelter; and revered them as equals.
