Buffalo For The Broken Heart by Dan O'Brien

Restoring Life to a Black Hills Ranch

A lyrical memoir and field manual that follows a rancher-ecologist’s efforts to restore a degraded Black Hills prairie by reintroducing bison, reestablishing native grasses, and using fire and thoughtful grazing to rebuild ecological processes; alongside practical stewardship, the narrative explores cultural history, local resistance, personal struggle, and the gradual recovery of land and community, arguing for a living, reciprocal relationship between humans and the prairie.
