Centuries before railroads, Sharps rifles, and "Buffalo" Bill Cody, buffalo roaming east of the Mississippi were hunted by Indians and Spanish, French, and English explorers, as well as colonists, Long Hunters, and American settlers. By the 1820s, the eastern buffalo herds were gone, and much of their former habitat had been radically altered. The Long Hunt is first book to deal solely with the buffalo that once ranged from east of the Blue Ridge to the waters of the Mississippi. An elegy of lost innocence, Ted Franklin Belue's book combines deep scholarship with lucid, fast-paced narrative to fill a significant gap in American frontier history. Book jacket.
