"For twenty years, Dan O'Brien battled drought, overgrazed pastures, and falling cattle prices as he fought to maintain his cattle ranch, the Broken Heart, nestled at the foot of South Dakota's Black Hills. Forced to take stints as an endangered-species biologist, English teacher, and handyman to help pay off his accumulating debts, he questioned the logic of this losing enterprise, though he never lost his fierce love of the Great Plains. But when a neighboring buffalo rancher invited him to lend a hand at the annual buffalo roundup, O'Brien came face-to-face with these mammoth, impressive creatures, and the seeds were planted for converting his own ranch from cattle to buffalo. Starting with thirteen calves, "short-necked, golden balls of wool," O'Brien embarked on a journey that returned buffalo to his land for the first time in more than a century and a half."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
