Author and naturalist Roger Di Silvestro explores the complex history of the bison’s decimation and how a rising awareness of their possible extinction formed the roots of many modern wildlife conservation approaches. Weaving in natural history and fascinating historical context featuring personalities such as Teddy Roosevelt, George Bird Grinnell, and William T. Hornaday, Di Silvestro traces the decades it took to begin to save the bison, often with little hope and plagued by discouraging setbacks. Di Silvestro explores the key role in the story of America’s Indigenous people, whose fate was intertwined with the bison’s and whose conservation work is important not only for the animal’s recovery but also for their own cultural renewal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mountaineers Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46444727304353,"sku":"10680","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1065\/3976\/files\/bison_096de087-2af5-4b7c-8b45-dc5adcb0bcc6.jpg?v=1779159145","url":"https:\/\/www.shoptrnha.org\/products\/return-of-the-bison","provider":"Theodore Roosevelt Nature \u0026 History Association","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
