About This Item
Tucson: University of Arizona Press, 1961. Second printing, November, 1961. 8vo. 9-3/16" x 6-5/16". Beige buckram covered boards stamped in brown. 287 pp. including index. Front and back panels of dust jacket pasted to front and back paste downs. A touch of soil but overall a very good, tight clean copy.. Illustrations by Mac Schweitzer. Buffalo hunter extraordinary, preserver of bison, seeker of musk ox in wolf-haunted reaches of the Arctic, of cougars in Grand Canyon, of rhino, giraffe, lion, and gorilla on the African veldt, Buffalo Jones also founded in Kansas town, ran the Cherokee Strip, and spanked recalcitrant bears in Yellowstone.
He was the kind of hero in whose life the interplay of such words as "free" and "enterprise" found meaning; the kind of frontiersman whose singular independence outshone even the Golden Age of Individualism in which he lived.
