Reviews for The Buffalo Book. The Full Saga of the American Animal.
“The author … has written an amazingly thorough book. There is literally everything here–from the first efforts to save the buffalo to the story of Stanley Kramer’s Bless the Beasts and the Children. Dary even includes a list of every single buffalo herd left today, as well as instructions on how to raise them and even buffalo rescue.”
