Buffalo Land is a book written by W.E. Webb that provides an authentic account of the discoveries, adventures, and mishaps of a scientific and sporting party in the Wild West. The book is set in the late 1800s when the American West was still largely unexplored and inhabited by vast herds of buffalo. The party, made up of scientists and hunters, sets out to explore the land and study the buffalo population. Along the way, they encounter various challenges and dangers, including hostile Native American tribes, harsh weather conditions, and dangerous animals. The book is a thrilling adventure story that offers a unique perspective on the American West during a pivotal time in its history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the American West, the buffalo population, or adventure stories in general.1872.

The purpose of this work is to make the reader better acquainted with that wild land which he has known from childhood, as the home of the Indian and the buffalo.
