Synopsis

"One thing you must remember. If you are running. Buffalo, do not be afraid of them. Ride your horse close up to the buffalo, as close as you can, and then let fly the arrow with all your force. If the buffalo turns to fight, your horse will take you away from it; but, above all things, do not be afraid; you will not kill buffalo if you are afraid to get close to them."

-George Bird Grinnell, When Buffalo Ran

When Buffalo Ran (1920) by George Bird Grinnell, describes the ways of northern American Plains tribes. It offers a fascinating first-person account by a young Plains Indian who tells of his life growing up, hunting buffalo, becoming a man and warrior, and getting married.
