American Serengeti

I read this book on a long plane ride recently.  I found it very interesting and would recommend it to anyone who has an interest in wildlife in America before the arrival of Europeans.  American Serengeti by Dan Flores

I also read this book which is more about the historical and current day politics surrounding the big public lands in America.  It is also a good read if you are interested in that subject.  That Wild Country by Mark Kenyon

I may have previously mentioned a really good book about the  near extinction of the buffalo and the fight to save it (and to incidentally create Yellowstone National Park).  The Last Stand by Michael Punke

And here's just a random news report on current day dilemmas around dealing with the excess Yellowstone buffalo Yellowstone Excess Bison
