from the Foreword
When Frank H. Mayer died in Fairplay, Colorado, in February, 1954, the last of the great buffalo hunters, or runners, as they preferred to call themselves, although they never ran a buffalo in their lives, left the scene. He was the last of the hardy group who practically obliterated a breed of animals. He was 104.
I met him first in 1932, when I wrote a condensed version of what you will read in this book. It appeared in several magazines, focussed attention on a phase of Western life that was practically forgotten. All sorts of myths had sprung up about buffalo hunting and hunters. Mayer's straightforward and authentic account of how it was actually done dispelled them.
This story is his full story of his years on the buffalo ranges.
