摘要
More than 30 paintings and drawings by artist-adventurers who traveled West in the 1800s illustrate Freedman's vivid account of the Great Plains Indians' buffalo hunts. Examines the importance of the buffalo in the lore and day-to-day life of the Indian tribes of the Great Plains and describes hunting methods and the uses found for each part of the animal that could not be eaten.

Gr 6 Up Freedman's book has two levels of appeal: that of the wonderfully conceived and vividly executed paintings (full-color reproductions of stunning paintings by such they-were-there artists as George Catlin, Karl Bodmer, Albert Bierstadt, uncluttered by inclusion of photographic every-detail), and that of an informative, accessible text. The title may by itself mislead some, as Freedman presents not a story or description of one hunt but descriptions of the many ways that buffalo hunts were madeby Indians, and later by the whites whose ferocious, firearm slaughter of the ``shaggies''as they were calledbrought the species to near extinction. This is superior to two recent picture books on the general subject of buffalo: Dorothy Hinshaw Patent's Buffalo: the American Rison Today (Clarion, 1986) and Cary B. Ziter 's The Moon of Falling Leaves (Watts, 1988). A thundering success. George Gleason, Department of English, Southwest Missouri State University, Springfield (c) Copyright 2010.

Kirkus评论
The winner of the 1988 Newbery Medal has produced another well-executed illustrated history, a genre that he has made his own. Here, the subject is the role of the buffalo in the lives of the Plains Indians. In five chapters, Freedman simply--but eloquently--discusses the meaning of the buffalo to Native American culture; methods used in hunting them; the many uses for the buffalo; and the role of the white man in destroying the vast herds and the culture they supported. Differences among tribal customs are pointed out, but what chiefly emerges is a portrayal of the destruction of a vital way of life. As always, Freeman has chosen his illustrations with discrimination--here, works of such great painters of Native American culture as George Catlin and Karl Bodmer, beautifully reproduced, large and in full color. His text is clear and matter-of-fact; he trusts events to speak for themselves, and, as he presents them, they do indeed. A worthy companion to his longer Indian Chiefs (1987).

Gr. 3-6. Using illustrations by well-known nineteenth-century artists, this book explores Plains Indian buffalo lore, hunting techniques, and the demise of the great herds as buffalo hunting became a sport.
