    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.

    Funny story... My wife and I were riding motorcycles through the Black Hills in South Dakota a few years back and they have a bison (North American Buffalo are actually bison) population there, too. The problem is that they just wander across the road whenever they want and they don't move for cars. Sometimes they just hang out in the road. A calf ran out in front of my bike so I stopped dead in the middle of the road and the mother charged me - only a few steps, but enough to let me know she meant business. I nearly crapped my pants. They're much bigger when they're 15 feet from you than pictures make them seem lol
