From the #1 international bestselling author of THE REVENANT - the
book that inspired the award-winning movie - comes the fascinating
story of America's first battle over the environment. In the last
three decades of the nineteenth century, an American buffalo herd
once numbering 30 million animals was reduced to twelve. In an era
that treated the West as nothing more than a treasure chest of
resources to be dug up and shot down, the buffalo was a commodity,
hounded by hide hunters seeking to make their fortunes. Supporting
them was the US Army, which considered the eradication of the
buffalo essential to victory in its ongoing war on Native
Americans. Into this maelstrom rode young George Bird Grinnell. A
scientist and a journalist, a hunter and a conservationist,
Grinnell would lead the battle to save the buffalo and preserve an
American icon from extinction.
