ReviewsThe first book of its kind, Bison celebrates this Western icon as distinctly American as the bald eagle, brought back from the brink of extinction., Hall's photos are as pleasing to the eye as the words of writer Chase Reynolds Ewald, filmmaker John Heminway and poet Henry Real Bird are to the ear as they tell the story of the bison's rise, fall and rebirth on the North American continent., What Chase and Audrey have done in word and photo is to show us so splendidly the who and the how that restoration [of the Bison] has been and is being accomplished., 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., 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 ., ... 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.
