Buffalo for the Broken Heart: Restoring Life to a Black Hills Ranch by Dan O'Brien

hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

The author strikes me as a really sensitive person, both because of his land preservation ethos and his poetic writing style. He is deeply critical of the way that farming and ranching are done, but can sense and describe the greys of people in a compassionate manner.

It got a tad bit repetitive by the very end and the afterword, but it was overall really enjoyable and educational to me. I liked the way that his thoughts unfolded along with the story. His descriptions of the grasslands, the animals and the people were always vivid and interesting.
