A combination of memoir, natural history, Native American history, and geology, this book is enriched by 20 color photos and a map to appeal to the seasoned visitor as well as the newcomer to the refuge. The national wildlife refuge that’s the focus of the book was among the first established by President Theodore Roosevelt. He helped save the Wichitas from miners and land speculators, and instead the harsh yet scenic area became the nation’s first bison refuge, established to keep this American icon from slipping into extinction. Today the refuge hosts more than a million visitors a year, most of them coming to hike the trails, climb the rocks, photograph bison and prairie dogs, or simply commune with a beautiful, wild area that remains a spiritual landscape for the Kiowa and Comanche Indians who call it home. “The manuscript is incomparable in its depth and breadth of natural and human history of the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge and, by extension, of southwestern Oklahoma. Anyone with even a passing interest in the refuge or western Oklahoma would absorb abundant knowledge of the entire region nowhere else available in one volume.”—Gary Clark, author of Backroads of the Texas Hill Country: Your Guide to the Most Scenic Adventures and columnist for the Houston Chronicle “I enjoyed the narrative and the intimacy of the story as well as the photography.”—George Maxey, geology professor
