An up-close look at the remarkable, distinctive bison and its cultural significance in the American WestThe first book of its kind, Bison: Portrait of an Icon tells the story of the bison - its history, majesty, cultural significance, and comeback story - through the stunning, dramatic photography of Audrey Hall. Even more, woven throughout these visually captivating photographs is an extended essay by author Chase Reynolds Ewald. Brought back from the brink of extinction, the bison today - with its rugged, primitive build, its remarkable speed and hardiness, its primeval wooly hide, and its sheer strength - is an icon as distinctively American as the bald eagle.
". . . two highly regarded Western storytellers have summoned their magical chemistry to produce a gorgeous new book . . . The powerfully moving book offers a deep meditation on the cultural and spiritual resonance, near extinction and hopeful resurgence of the American bison. "--Laura Beausire "Mountain Living" (3/3/2021 12:00:00 AM) "In this stunning and hefty volume, photographer Audrey Hall brilliantly captures the spirit of the American bison and the landscape of the American West. Woven among her images is a beautifully written essay by author Chase Reynolds Ewald, sharing the bison' s history, cultural significance, and recovery from the brink of extinction, as well as insights from ranchers, wildlife managers, policy makers, and artists. A magnificent tribute to this majestic creature. "--Melanie Dragger "The Literary West Review" (3/1/2021 12:00:00 AM) "The true wealth of the book is in Hall' s magnificent photos of bison in their habitat, walking single file through deep snow, a cow giving birth in a spring meadow, a herd grazing in front of a mountain backdrop, a close-up of winter fluff on a shedding flank, a winsome calf next to its massive mother, and iconic images of bison next to Yellowstone' s thermal pools. Accompanied throughout by quotes from Native elders, politicians, scientists, and historians, Hall' s photos sing. "--Nancy Bent "Booklist" (3/1/2021 12:00:00 AM)
