	Amazon.fr : Buffalo Hunt: Livres en anglais: Russell Freedman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Freedman, author of the Newbery Medal-winner Lincoln: A Photobiography, has written a gripping account of the sacred relationship between the Great Plains Indian and the buffalo, whose slaughter by whites assured the destruction of the Indian way of life.
		Grade 6 Up Freedman's book has two levels of appeal: that of the wonderfully conceived and vividly executed paintings (full-color reproductions of stunning paintings by such they-were-there artists as George Catlin, Karl Bodmer, Albert Bierstadt, uncluttered by inclusion of photographic every-detail), and that of an informative, accessible text.
		The title may by itself mislead some, as Freedman presents not a story or description of one hunt but descriptions of the many ways that buffalo hunts were madeby Indians, and later by the whites whose ferocious, firearm slaughter of the ``shaggies''as they were calledbrought the species to near extinction.

	Powell's Books - by Russell Freedman
		In his introductory and last chapters (as well as a concluding author's note that lays out where modern scholars stand on Polo), Freedman acknowledges that many, from Polo's day forward, have contested the veracity of Marco's claims, which included a three-year governorship of Yangzhou and work as a 'trusted envoy' of Kublai Khan.
		In the fascinating central chapters, Freedman sidelines skepticism: he quotes liberally from Polo's account, retracing the amazing journey to and from lands unfathomable to most Europeans living at that time.
		Freedman's impeccable research, historical fidelity and flair for engrossing narrative nonfiction combine with handsome bookmaking for a highly recommended biography.
