Sample Book Insights:
#1 I explored the horizon, enjoying the way the land moved out in front of me. A hundred yards out from camp, I saw where a grizzly bear had passed through before the ground had frozen. The bear had stopped to dig a salmon carcass out of the mud.
#2 I was curious enough to stay and watch the buffalo, but they had moved by the time the clouds lifted. I was glad, as my decision about whether or not to trespass had been made for me.
#3 The Treaties of Medicine Lodge, struck in October 1867 between the U. S. government and five thousand Kiowa, Comanche, Cheyenne, and Arapaho from the southern Great Plains, sought to protect their buffalo hunting grounds south of the Arkansas River from Euro-American encroachment. But the lack of food forced Indians to seek provisions from the government, which declared that buffalo no longer ranged thereon in such numbers as to justify the chase.
#4 The history of humankind’s involvement with buffalo shows that humans have rarely regarded the wishes of other humans when it comes to following and killing the animals.
