Synthesizing Larger And Longer Histories Of This Unique Animal, This Book Traces The History Of The Buffalo From The Time It Led Man To North America, Fed Him, Clothed Him, And Housed Him.

Much Of The Indian Way Of Life Was Related To Knowledge Of And Reverence For The Buffalo.When The European White Man Arrived, He Lived Off The Buffalo As He Explored The Continent. Later, He Slaughtered The Great Herds Of Animals When They Trampled His Crops, Stopped His Railway Trains, And Fed The Indians Who Fought Him For The Land.But When Extinction Threatened The Buffalo, The White Man Was Challenged By The Idea Of Saving The Animal, An Idea That Captures The Imagination Of Americans Yet Today.Heads, Hides & Horns Traces This Major History In A Thousand Small Stories, With Directions For Tanning, Recipes For Cooking, Stories Of Tenderfeet And Hide Hunters, Metis From Canada Who Searched For Bones, Ciboleros From Mexico Who Hunted Buffalo In Texas, And Hundreds Of Anecdotes And Firstperson Accounts.Over One Hundred Illustrations Accompany The Lively Text.
