Land of the Buffalo

Land of the Buffalo is a captivating book about Yellowstone’s iconic buffalo that features over 200 stunning photographic images by the author. This immersive journey redefines our understanding of these magnificent creatures, revealing that what we've long called "herds" are, in fact, intricate and vital family units – networks of mothers, daughters, sisters, and their young, where familiarity truly equals survival in the face of Yellowstone's harsh realities.

The book offers a poignant perspective on the daily struggles and historical context that define the Yellowstone buffalo's existence. From the relentless harassment by tourists and the constant threat of wolves to the brutal realities of winter and the devastating impact of "management" culls and treaty hunting, the author, a lifelong observer, unearths the hidden hardships endured by these animals. Through a blend of insightful narrative and breathtaking photography, with a special emphasis on their survival during the unforgiving winter months, this book challenges readers to consider the world through the buffalo's eyes. It's a powerful reminder of the near extinction of these majestic creatures and a call to remember why the American buffalo, a symbol of strength and resilience, was pushed to its most devastating test.
