The Last Buffalo Hunter is one of the few surviving oral accounts of the old North-West during the late nineteenth century, providing a valuable record of the spirit and romance of a way of life that ended with the demise of the once-vast buffalo herds. Mary Weekes first met Norbert Welsh - whose colorful life story is told here in his own words - in 1931 when he was eighty-seven. She was enthralled by this blind old man who had "a memory crowded with stories that belonged to the making of the West." He agreed to let her write about his experiences, and for the next several months Weekes recorded Welsh's tales about his life as a prominent Red River trader and buffalo hunter. Originally published in 1939 and long out of print, this new edition of The Last Buffalo Hunter makes Norbert Welsh's life story available once again to a wide audience.

It was 1872 in Wyoming Territory and seven-year-old Robert Paul had a plan. A plan to save his pregnant mother and sister from his cruel and abusive father. But his plan didn’t include being stopped by eight Sioux warriors on the warpath! Five-year-old Fox Kitten and three-year-old Chameli, Blackfoot sisters, didn’t have a plan. They just wanted to be rescued from their Cheyenne kidnappers and be returned to their grandmother. But they were being held at the sacred White Horn in Montana Territory’s Crazy Mountains. Who could save them? Hackmore had the perfect plan. Or so he thought. Have his men kill Snort and Old Swede and their buffalo teams on the eastern plains of Wyoming Territory. Steal their wagons loaded with buffalo hides and sell them in Chesterville. Then he’d get his men drunk and run off with their share of the money. It was the perfect plan. Except—it was Sunday. A bad mistake! And Snort was still alive. An even worse mistake! Because Snort wasn’t alone! Doc Whitfield also had a plan. A wild preposterous plan—if he could only pull it off. First, save the children. Then he, Snort, “Buff,” the white-haired buffalo hunter, and Jaime Larson, a fast-draw friend, would go looking for Hackmore and his gang of killers. Chesterville was about to witness one of the longest and deadliest gun battles in the town’s history.

Hunting the buffalo and fighting Indians on the western frontier   For millennia the great herds of North American bison (or buffalo as they were popularly known) had roamed the continental heartland followed by the indigenous Indian tribes whose own existence in every sense depended upon them. After the American Civil War, as the new railroads pushed from ocean to ocean, the herds of buffalo came in closer proximity to the ever increasing numbers of settlers intent on fulfilling the ‘manifest destiny’ of the American people by crossing and populating the nation. Now the political and economic potential of intensively hunting the buffalo became apparent. So the buffalo hunter, a resourceful opportunist armed with a long rifle, appeared across the western wilderness. This book, a highly regarded classic on its subject, was written by a frontiersman buffalo hunter and graphically describes his life of the Great Plains. These hunters heralded not only the end of the great herds of buffalo, but also the demise of the traditional way of life for the Plains Indian tribes. So, inevitably, this book also relates the authors experiences as an Indian fighter particularly against the Comanches. Despite our contemporary understanding of these tragic events, John Cook’s narrative provides an entertaining and thrilling insight into a life lived in the Wild West in its heyday. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their spines and fabric head and tail bands.

Award-winning author Paul Goble examines the construction, art, and significance of the tipi to the Plains Indians in his newest book, entitled Tipi: Home of the Nomadic Buffalo Hunters. Through a re-telling of the old-timer's stories, Goble shows how the tipi was more than just a home, but an expression of spiritual beliefs.

Life and Adventures of "Billy" Dixonby Billy DixonThe Battle of Adobe Wallsby Edward Campbell LittleTwo essential accounts of the south western plains in frontier daysThis special edition book contains two works-'Billy' Dixon's remarkable autobiography of his life on the south western plains of the American frontier of the post Civil War period and a useful and interesting article taken from the pages of Pearsons Magazine which describes the renowned battle at Abode Walls with contributions from many of the participants. For anybody interested in the history of the West, 'Billy' Dixon's name will be a familiar one. Drawn to the excitement of frontier life when no more than a boy, he lived life in full measure as a teamster, buffalo hunter and scout for the army. Dixon was well known as an outstanding marksman and when the day of battle came in July 1874 there were few among the defenders of Adobe Walls more prepared or more equal to the challenges of those three desperate days of conflict. Here legends were made as the Comanches and Kiowas under the renowned Quanah Parker charged to destruction time and again. By Dixon's side fought the young 'Bat Masterson' soon to be known as another figure of fame on the frontier. After Abode Walls Dixon's involvement with Miles' expedition brought him to yet another heroic fight with hostile Indians in the 'Buffalo Wallow Fight'. Together these two narratives make a unique book. Available in soft cover and hard back with dustjacket.

The real achievements of William F. (Buffalo Bill) Cody as a plainsman, hunter, scout, and Indian fighter have tended to be obscured by his fame as a showman. From its opening performance in 1883, Buffalo Bill's Wild West (it was never advertised as a show or circus) enthralled audiences in America and Europe, urchins and crowned heads alike; and probably no one man did more to establish and ro-manticize the tradition of the old West of cowboy and Indian. Because he personified this tradition, Cody inspired an ocean of literature—dime novels, stories, melodramas, allegedly true accounts of his exploits—which tarnished the credibility of his legend even as it increased his renown.This Bison Books edition is the first complete reprinting of the original autobiography since it was published in 1879. It covers the years from Cody's birth in 1846 until his thirty-fourth year—the years during which he grew up on the plains, worked for Russell, Majors & Waddell, rode the Pony Express, went on fourteen expeditions against the Indians, and participated in fifteen Indian fights—the years that underpin the legend of Buffalo Bill and earned him the status of an authentic American Hero.

Excerpt from The Wolf Hunters: A Story of the Buffalo PlainsThe work was hard and not without its dan gers. Storms were frequent, and often very se vere, and the Indians were bitterly opposed to the operations of these wolf hunters, who killed great numbers of buffalo for wolf baits, as well as elk, antelope, deer, and other smaller animals. On the other hand, in winter the Indians did not usually travel about very much.The following pages describe the adventures of Mr. Peck and two companions - all recently dis charged soldiers - during the winter of 1861 1862.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Bill Murray is at his wildest as America's leading "Gonzo", journalist, Dr. Hunter S. Thompson, the legendary underground reporter whose passion for writing was second only to his love of weird chemicals, alcohol, violence and insanity. Along with best friend (Peter Boyle), Murray offers a manic look back at the Sixties and Seventies as an eyewitness to everything from a free-for-all San Francisco drug trial to a one-on-one bathroom interview with then Presidential candidate Richard Nixon.

Winner of the 2009 SAA Public Audience Book AwardFor millennia, Aboriginal hunters on the North American Plains used their knowledge of the land and of buffalo behaviour to drive their quarry over cliffs. Archaeologist Jack Brink has written a major study of the mass buffalo hunts and the culture they supported before and after European contact. By way of example, he draws on his 25 years excavating at Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump in southwestern Alberta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The slaughter of the great buffalo herds of the West took place between 1874 and 1884. The southern herds in the Texas Panhandle were gone as early as 1878. John R. Cook was one of the hunters taking part in the extermination. His book, The Border and the Buffalo, first published in a small edition at Topeka, Kansas, in 1907, is one of the most important first-hand accounts about buffalo hunting that has been written. The organization of hunts, camp routines, and marketing of the buffalo hides are all described in detail. The book also highlights battles with the Cheyenne and Comanche Indians, and various scouts with the U.S. Cavalry on the plains of Texas.
