Champion Buffalo Hunter

<DIV><DIV><P><B><I>The Champion Buffalo Hunter</I></B> is the fascinating memoir of one of the most legendary frontiersmen of the early West Yellowstone Vic Smith. Born Victor Grant Smith in 1850 he lived a colorful life across the American frontier from the 1870s to 1890s. A classic frontiersman he was a trapper dispatch rider scout trick shot-and yes buffalo hunter extraordinaire. </P><P></P><P>Discovered in Harvard University's Houghton Library in 1990 this remarkable autobiography-which Smith wrote in the third person-is comparable to Andrew Garcia's <I>Tough Trip through Paradise</I> but notes the editor without the melodrama. Written in a matter-of-fact often humorous style it will engage and entertain all those interested in the lives and times of the men who wandered the West following the great herds and settling only long enough for the snows to melt. </P><P></P>This new edition includes a revised and updated foreword by Jeanette Prodgers based on new research into the life of Yellowstone Vic.</DIV></DIV>
