American Buffalo: In Search of a Lost Icon - Frank's RedHot Original Buffalo Wings Sauce, 1 Gallon Bulk Container
From the host of the Travel Channel's The Wild Within, Steven Rinella presents a captivating narrative tale of his hunt for the American buffalo - an adventurous and fascinating examination of an animal that has long haunted the American imagination. In 2005, Rinella won a lottery permit to hunt for a wild buffalo, or American bison, in the Alaskan wilderness, despite the daunting odds of only a two percent chance of drawing the permit, and fewer than 20 percent of those hunters being successful. Rinella managed to kill a buffalo on a snow-covered mountainside and then raft the meat back to civilization, all while being trailed by grizzly bears and suffering from hypothermia.
Throughout these adventures, Rinella found himself contemplating his own place among the 14,000 years' worth of buffalo hunters in North America, as well as the buffalo's place in the American experience. At the time of the Revolutionary War, North America was home to approximately 40 million buffalo, the largest herd of big mammals on the planet, but by the mid-1890s, only a few hundred remained. Now, with the buffalo on the verge of a dramatic ecological recovery across the West, Americans are faced with the challenge of how, and if, we can dare to share our land with a beast that is the embodiment of the American wilderness.
Beyond Rinella's captivating hunt, American Buffalo is the story of the many ways in which the buffalo has shaped our national identity. Rinella takes readers on a journey across the continent in search of the buffalo's past, present, and future. From the Bering Land Bridge, where scientists search for buffalo bones amid artifacts of the New World's earliest human inhabitants, to the buffalo jumps where Native Americans once ran buffalo over cliffs by the thousands, and even to the Detroit Carbon works, a "bone charcoal" plant that made fortunes in the late 1800s by turning millions of tons of buffalo bones into bone meal, black dye, and fine china, Rinella's erudition and exuberance, combined with his gift for storytelling, make him the perfect guide for this book.
The narrative also leads us to an abattoir turned fashion mecca in Manhattan's Meatpacking District, where a depressed buffalo named Black Diamond met his fate after serving as the model for the American nickel. Both a captivating narrative and a book of environmental and historical significance, American Buffalo tells us as much about ourselves as Americans as it does about the creature who perhaps best of all embodies the American ethos.
