Thunder on the Plains: The Story of the American Buffalo

32 pp. | Atheneum | February, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-689-83025-4 $$16.00
(4) K-3 With well-documented, varied illustrations ranging from a primitive drawing to photos to engravings, this book encapsulates the history of the American buffalo, or bison, including its migration from Asia, its peak of fifty million in 1875, its near-destruction, and its contemporary rebound. The conversational text reads easily, but its anti-European agenda is at times quite heavy-handed.
Reviewer: Frieda F. Bostian
