Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Before the railroad, before the barbed-wire fence, and before the frontier fully closed, there existed a brief but transformative period dominated by a profession both revered and reviled: the buffalo hunter. Thunder on the Open Plains provides experts and professionals with a deeply technical, methodical exploration of the hunters who altered the ecology, economy, and culture of the American West.This book examines the precision rifles, shooting techniques, hides-processing systems, transportation logistics, and commercial networks that powered the buffalo trade at its peak.
