Download or read book American Bison written by Dale F. Lott and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2002-09-10 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is the best book I've read about American bison and their habitat. It is vivid, concise, witty, erudite, first-hand, and up-to-date. Most important, it argues convincingly that the only way to assure survival of bison and their habitat in the wild is to establish a Great Plains National Park at least 5,000 square miles in extent."—David Rains Wallace, author of The Bonehunter's Revenge: Dinosaurs, Greed, and the Great Scientific Feud of the Gilded Age "Dr. Lott's scholarship is strong and thorough. American Bison presents an extensive, state-of-the-art review of key points of American bison that are unaddressed or under-addressed by previous books. Moreover, it does it in a popularized, often narrative form that makes the material comprehensible to the educated lay reader as well as to the bison scholar."—James H. Shaw, Department of Zoology, Oklahoma State University

Book excerpt: A Project of the Center for Great Plains Studies and the School of Natural Resources, University of Nebraska Great Plains Bison traces the history and ecology of this American symbol from the origins of the great herds that once dominated the prairie to its near extinction in the late nineteenth century and the subsequent efforts to restore the bison population. A longtime wildlife biologist and one of the most powerful literary voices on the Great Plains, Dan O’Brien has managed his own ethically run buffalo ranch since 1997. Drawing on both extensive research and decades of personal experience, he details not only the natural history of the bison but also its prominent symbolism in Native American culture and its rise as an icon of the Great Plains. Great Plains Bison is a tribute to the bison’s essential place at the heart of the North American prairie and its ability to inspire naturalists and wildlife advocates in the fight to preserve American biodiversity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Billy, a seasoned scout of the Army, finds himself taken captive by Little Wolf's Cheyenne tribe. As tensions rise and cultures clash on the American frontier, Billy must navigate the complexities of captivity and form an unlikely bond with Little Wolf. But as the once-thriving buffalo herds dwindle, both men are forced to confront the harsh realities of a changing world. With the fate of the Cheyenne people hanging in the balance, Billy and Little Wolf must come to terms with their own beliefs, loyalties, and the true meaning of freedom. Sneak Peak An hour later, Billy, still feeling uneasy, rode again to the crest of the ridge beyond the camp. He knew it was almost time for Little Wolf to be in that area, and he was also thinking about the horse and the hundred dollars promised to him in addition to his pay for locating Little Wolf's band. Perhaps he was also thinking about other things, beyond his duty as a soldier. Little did he expect what was about to happen. Four Cheyenne bucks emerged from the tall grass near the top of the ridge, dropping their blankets and taking aim at him with their rifles. They hesitated to shoot, as Billy appeared to be an Indian and they were unsure if he was friend or foe. If he was a friend, they needed his help.

Download or read book Return of the Bison written by Roger Di Silvestro and published by Mountaineers Books. This book was released on 2023-09-01 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offers a hopeful view of threatened species, grounded in history and science Addresses current conservation trends: wildlife corridors, prairie restoration, cultural restoration for the American Indian community Return of the Bison is the story of how this symbol of the American West was once almost lost to history and of the continuing journey to bring bison back from the brink. Author and naturalist Roger Di Silvestro explores the complex history of the bison’s decimation and how a rising awareness of their possible extinction formed the roots of many modern wildlife conservation approaches. Weaving in natural history and fascinating historical context featuring personalities such as Teddy Roosevelt, George Bird Grinnell, and William T. Hornaday, Di Silvestro traces the decades it took to begin to save the bison, often with little hope and plagued by discouraging setbacks. Di Silvestro explores the key role in the story of America’s Indigenous people, whose fate was intertwined with the bison’s and whose conservation work is important not only for the animal’s recovery but also for their own cultural renewal. Di Silvestro also examines the plight of European bison and the latest challenges facing the species in the US: Are the bison doomed to be treated like cattle, fenced and contained? Or will they be listed as an endangered species, requiring us to treat them like the wild animals they are?
