The American bison, once a symbol of the untamed West, was nearly wiped out by the end of the 19th century. But today, thanks to the efforts of conservationists and ranchers, bison are making a comeback.

In her new book, ReBisoning the West, author Carla Helmbrecht chronicles the remarkable journey of bison from near extinction to recovery. She traces the history of bison in the West, from their role in Native American cultures to their slaughter by European settlers. She also explores the ecological importance of bison, and the ways in which their return to the landscape is benefiting other wildlife and plants.

But ReBisoning the West is more than just a story about the bison. It is also a story about hope and the power of conservation. Helmbrecht shows how the bison's recovery is a testament to the resilience of nature, and to the importance of human intervention in protecting and restoring our natural heritage.

ReBisoning the West is a beautifully written and inspiring book that will appeal to anyone who loves nature, history, or the American West. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to learn more about the bison, and for anyone who believes in the power of hope.
