Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this lavishly illustrated volume, Richard E. McCabe, Bart W. O'Gara and Henry M. Reeves explore the fascinating relationship of pronghorn with people in early America, from prehistoric evidence through the Battle of Little Bighorn in 1876. The only one of fourteen pronghorn-like genera to survive the great extinction brought on by human migration into North America, the pronghorn has a long and unique history of interaction with humans on the continent, a history that until now has largely remained unwritten. With nearly 150 black-and-white photographs, 16 pages of color illustrations, plus original artwork by Daniel P. Metz, Prairie Ghost: Pronghorn and Human Interaction in Early America tells the intriguing story of humans and these elusive big game mammals in an informative and entertaining fashion that will appeal to historians, biologists, sportsmen and the general reader alike.

Book excerpt: Though many often think of frontier life in the United States of America, "Forest, Lake and Prairie: Twenty Years of Frontier Life in Western Canada—1842-62" by John McDougall brings readers right into the harsh, wild, and adventurous life that was expected of the Canadian frontier. Fans of US frontier stories will find familiar elements with the settlers who called Canada home. However, it would be unwise to assume the two experiences are identical, especially not after reading the sometimes harrowing tale weaved by McDougall.
Download or read book Maskepetoon written by Hugh A. Dempsey and published by Heritage House Publishing Co. This book was released on 2011-02-01 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a leader, Maskepetoon was respected for his skill as a hunter, his generosity and his wisdom. He was considered a “lucky” chief, a man who found buffalo on the edge of the plains, who avoided unnecessary conflicts with enemies but protected his camp like a mother grizzly her cubs. And in the turbulent mid-1800s, that’s exactly the kind of leader the Rocky Mountain Cree needed. Maskepetoon followed his own inclinations for peace and friendship. He formed allegiances with missionaries and guided settlers through the Rockies. Yet, if necessary, he could kill with impunity, rule with an iron hand and show no mercy where he believed none should be shown. He transformed his people from woodland trappers to buffalo hunters and from woodsmen to prairie dwellers, always keeping their interests at heart. Hugh A. Dempsey’s account of the legendary chief and his life includes insights from the Cree people of today, including descendants of Maskepetoon, and new information on the chief of the same name who lived in the United States during this time.
