Buffalo for the Broken Heart: Restoring Life to a Black Hills Ranch by Dan O'Brien
3.0
I'm a sucker for the prairie grasslands. It just seems like heaven to me, only maybe better. So when this book appeared in my Little Free Library, I grabbed it.
It's a mixture of history, ruminations and bits of biography all hanging off the timeline of an experienced rancher's first year running buffalo. Lots of digressions to flesh out the pages, but they all hang together thematically and are told pretty well.
He's fairly left wing and extraordinarily educated for the area where he lives. Bookish, poetic, environmentally aware. Not your typical cowboy.
