The Buffalo Book The Full Saga of the American Animal

Andrew Welsh-Huggins

David A. Dary

Starting with a daring art heist and a walloping surprise for private eye Andy Hayes, this riveting mystery novel—the eighth in the series— takes readers on a roller coaster ride through COVID and the anti-vaxxer movement, the streets of Columbus, Ohio, and an FBI investigation that points too close to home.

Originally published in 1989, this book is one of the top references noted in Ken Burns’s documentary film, The American Buffalo. The journals and memoirs of nineteenth-century explorers and travelers in the American West often told of viewing buffalo massed together as far as the eye could see. This book appropriately covers the subject of the buffalo as extensively as that animal covered the plains.
