My brother bought me this book back in August. Just finished reading it. It’s really detailed on how the near demise of the American buffalo, the establishment of Yellowstone National Park, and organizations like Boone and Crockett Club are all linked together in a specific period in time that set the stage for what we know as conservation today. It details the works of George Bird Grinnell, Theodore Roosevelt and others as they pushed to save the bison, combat poaching, and establish game laws. If you enjoy hunting and recreating on public lands as we know them today this book might be of interest to you to understand how conservation of these wild places came to be in America .
