Notes


Rinella’s volume blends natural history, cultural study, and personal field narrative to explore the North American buffalo—its origins, near-eradication, and enduring symbolic weight. Framed by the author’s legal hunt in the Alaskan backcountry, the book interweaves archaeology, biology, frontier history, and folklore to trace the animal’s passage from its emergence to its decline.
