Publisher's Synopsis
This enduring classic tells the true story of Black Diamond, a majestic American bison who once roamed the great plains of North America. Written by naturalist Clarence Hawkes, this book offers a vivid and detailed portrait of Black Diamond's life cycle, from his birth on the prairie to his eventual captivity and death in a zoo. With lyrical prose and a deep respect for nature, Hawkes brings to life a lost world and a vanished species. A must-read for anyone interested in ecology, animal behavior, or conservation.
