NOT ANOTHER BUFFALO HUNTING NOVEL

This book is a well documented diligently researched history of the hunts that resulted in the near elimination of the buffalo. Starting with the acquisition and sale of Buffalo robes from the Indian, to the hunt for meat followed by hide hunting and finally the gathering and sale of the bones. I found this book to be an easy and enjoyable read with copious footnotes.I was familiar with the names of some of the most prominent participants but the authors research revealed many I had not heard of. Methods and quantities of shipment of the various parts including the hide,horns,tongues, meat and bones were almost beyond belief. Anyone interested in our old west times should enjoy this book.
