5.0 out of 5 stars Need buffalo/bison information?, December 16, 2001
By Thea M. Ryan (South Dakota, United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Field Guide to the North American Bison (Sasquatch Field Guides Series) (Paperback)
This book was the most useful of the recent pile of buffalo/bison books I purchased. Biologically, the book gave me all the answers I sought. As a bonus, it included history and lore of the buffalo/bison of the Old West. If you're looking for a book to help you learn about these giant animals, something to help with a school report, or just a great field guide to add to your existing library, this is the book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Short but pretty good, you'll learn some things, June 11, 2005
By A. Burchfield (Conway, Missouri USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Field Guide to the North American Bison (Sasquatch Field Guides Series) (Paperback)
At only 46 pages this book isn't very long, coat pocket (not shirt pocket) sized but does have some good information I hadn't seen in some of the bigger Bison books Amazon sells.
The descriptive section, pages 12-24 had the most valuable information about the Bison themselves, although the page on viewing them today (p.38) did give some hints on what to do or not do when watching them.
Actually the worst part of the book (other than not really making it clear just how unsure estimates of original herd size really are) was on p.32 describing the Sharp's Buffalo rifle as having a .45 caliber 30 inch barrel capable of hitting at a quarter of a mile. From my reading I've read that the Sharps came in several calibers and barrel lengths and most hunters tried to get close in for their shots. Other than that even this page was good.
There's a map showing you where to find public viewing herds but it has only the vaguest of directions on how to get to them, no addresses, phone numbers or websites.
Short, a little bit pricey, but you will learn a little something.

4.0 out of 5 stars Short but sweet., April 12, 2002
This review is from: Field Guide to the North American Bison (Sasquatch Field Guides Series) (Paperback)
Is a total of 46-informative pages. For the price it is defintely worth the read. Learned a few new facts I didn't learn before.
