- Summary
- In Bring Back the Buffalo!, Ernest Callenbach portrays the history and present situation of bison, and explores their remarkable potential. Bison belong on the Plains. Legendary symbols of independence and self-reliance, they endure blizzards, survive without feeding, and need no human help to give birth. Unlike cattle, bison move dozens of miles a day as they graze, reducing impacts on grasses and streams. Vast stretches of the Plains, declining in population and ill-suited for farming or cattle raising, provide ideal habitat for bison.
