This beautiful, one-of-a-kind book is both an elegy and a celebration of life of one of the most iconic animals ever to live on earth. The third book by wildlife photographer and writer Larry Laverty, Land of the Buffalo presents the most comprehensive record in images recorded to date of the lives of these magnificent beings who not only represent the character of Yellowstone Park but the character of the United States.

Their lives, like those of most wildlife, are fraught with irony.

Through their will to survive a harsh and unforgiving world and their raw physical strength, they came to epitomize the strength required of early Americans to forge this country. But the very people who carved this nation out of wilderness are the very ones who destroyed almost every last living buffalo in the process. In the light of history, Land of the Buffalo shares over 150 photographs and words of information gathered by Larry Laverty over the course of his life so far. Land of the Buffalo will broaden your understanding of these magnificent shaggy beings and offer up a broader knowledge of Yellowstone Park and the nation that gave birth to it.
