5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding photography, December 16, 2001

If you love the Great Plains and have a heart for the prairie, this book will delight you. The photography in here is outstanding. After working with buffalo earlier this year, this was a book I had to get. Some of the photos, including the cover photo, bring not only the sights but also the smells and sounds of the giant herds to mind. These photos are worth more than 1,000 words... because they speak to my prairie heart.

Icould not be happier with this book. I was in particular looking for pictures of buffalo and this book excels in wonderful photos. It is a good size and the writing is excellent too. I am an artist and it has offered me details of the animals that are hard to find.
