Title: Amazing book
Review: I loved this book, which manages to be both kind of depressing and pretty inspirational. Dan O'Brien gets at the loneliness and economic heartbreak of the great plains better than anything I've read since _Giants in the Earth_--it's amazing how little has changed in a century. Just when you think all is lost he discovers buffalo ranching, and the beauty and organic nature of that enterprise is enhanced by all the failed efforts at cattle ranching that preceded it. While I'm excited about buying some of Dan's all-natural bison meat, the book is far more than a lengthy advertisement or even any kind of polemic against conventional beef raising on the plains. To me, this guy has a wonderful writing voice...straightforward, not self-indulgent, to the point...I say that's great plains style at its best.
