A new addition to a popular series, this one about the "cow country," which is now rapidly passing away. Jack learns all about the duties on a ranch in a most entertaining manner. Mr. Grinnell is intimate with the wild life he depicts, and the photographs really illustrate
George Bird Grinnell (September 20, 1849 – April 11, 1938) was an American anthropologist, historian, naturalist, and writer. Grinnell was born in Brooklyn, New York, and graduated from Yale University with a B.A. in 1870 and a Ph.D. in 1880. Originally specializing in zoology, he became a prominent early conservationist and student of Native American life. Grinnell has been recognized for his influence on public opinion and work on legislation to preserve the American buffalo.
Grinnell’s books and publications reflect his lifelong study of the northern American plains and the Plains tribes. Along with J. A. Allen and William T. Hornaday, Grinnell was a historian of the buffalo and their relationship to Plains tribal culture. In When Buffalo Ran (1920), he describes hunting and working buffalo from a buffalo horse.
Grinell wrote at least seven "Jack" books, and a large number of other western fiction and non-fiction works.
