Notes

A comprehensive account of the history of the North American bison from its earliest presence on the continent to the twentieth century. The work brings together material on the animal’s natural history, its significance to Indigenous cultures, and its role in exploration, trade, and westward expansion.

Drawing on a range of historical and scientific sources, the author traces the rise and near destruction of the species, as well as subsequent conservation efforts.
