Buchbeschreibung Soft cover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Signed by Grant MacEwan!-" Europeans, on their arrival in the West, saw the buffalo as dull, sulky, and of no benefit except to the Indians. Early governments believed the huge, free-ranging herds were an impediment to enforcement of newly signed treaties. Enterprising pioneers recognized buffalo hunts as first-class sporting events, sure to appeal to wealthy and upper-class Britishers and others overseas. It was only when a remnant of this part of North America's natural history remained that the significance of the destruction became clear. In Buffalo: Sacred and Sacrificed, popular historian Grant MacEwan captures the efforts of early conservationists James McKay, Charles Alloway, Sam Bedson, Frank Oliver, and Michel Pablo to preserve and protect this monarch of the plains. It is a remarkable account of where the buffalo once roamed-and of their amazing step back from the brink of extinction." About the Author: "John Walter Grant MacEwan embraced Canada's prairies with a passionate concern for its environment and its people. He was variously a professor of animal husbandry, a dean of agriculture, an author, a politician and a statesman. Born August 12, 1902, he grew up in a farming community north of Brandon, Manitoba, then later in Saskatchewan. Throughout his life, Grant MacEwan worked diligently to bring the drama of the development of Western Canada to readers. Buffalo: Sacred and Sacrificed is another chapter from one of Canada's most prolific writers of popular history.". Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 023186
