Before the first Europeans crossed the Atlantic there were up to 100
million bison ranging over the Great Plains. By 1889 the last 200 were surviving
in the remote valleys of the Yellowstone National Park. Field Guide to the North
American Bison retells the grisly story of “the Great Killing” and shows where
you can see the current population of about 200 000 in the wild. Published by
Sasquatch Books, $7.95, ISBN 1570611343.
