The dramatic history of the extermination and resurrection of the American buffalo, by #1 bestselling author of The Revenant
Michael Punke’s The Last Stand tells the epic story of the American West through the lens of the American bison and the man who saved these icons of the Western
“The Story of How the Buffalo Was Saved From Extinction Is one of the great dramas of the Old West.
More profoundly, it is a story of the transition from the Old West to the New – a transition whose battles are still fought bitterly to this day.

In his remarkable life, Grinnell would live the adventures of the old West even as he helped to shape the New.
“If we do this right, we can create something unprecedented.”
Sean Gerrity, American Prairie Foundation
Our mission is to create one of the largest nature reserves in the United States. This will serve as a refuge for people and wildlife, forever.
