Tom McHugh draws on years of firsthand field research and a wealth of historical sources to present a richly detailed portrait of the animal that once defined the Great Plains, numbering in the tens of millions and sustaining entire Indigenous civilizations. Written with both scientific rigor and narrative warmth, the account illustrates the profound ecological and cultural role the bison played in shaping North American life, detailing the complex social behaviors, seasonal movements, and survival instincts of the species with remarkable clarity. McHugh also uncovers the devastating human forces that drove the buffalo to the brink of annihilation, offering a sobering examination of environmental destruction that resonates as powerfully today as when it was first published. At once a celebration of one of nature's most magnificent creatures and a cautionary tale about humanity's relationship with the wild, this authoritative volume remains essential reading for naturalists, historians, and conservationists alike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48839396360411,"sku":"2026770001867-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/65b2dbdf-f900-4003-94d3-764ff99927ac.png?v=1780561686","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770001867-secondhand-the-time-of-the-buffalo","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
