Dateing back to the early 1900's covering the most interesting front pages for each century a sense of awe overcomes you. Take a walk through the pages of this book and it will bring an inspriational journy back in time to expierence how the past was written. This book, headlines & History, conveys the top stories of the history such as: World War I, World War II, the "shut-off" of Niagara Falls, and many more local events. In comparison to the Encyclopedia this book not only gives the information but also shows the eral photographs and text of writing. Yes, the encyclopedia is works well for research but to get an idea of the past i favor this book. The only problem I found wrong with this book was that the Buffalo News published it almost right before the year 2000 came. I feel, in my own opinion, that they should have published the book after the new millenium so the historic page could also be viewed int he future. I rate this book five stars because it grasps the interst of any age and it is well organized. So, in conclusion, this book portrays the history of every day life of Buffalo and of the world it is sure to be treasured for many more years to come.

Well researched and fascinating study of the Klan in Buffalo. Mr. Lay has done an excellent job. A must read for those interested in the history of the Klan.

Deftly edited by Robert Bigart, "I Will Be Meat For My Salish": The Montana Writers Project And The Buffalo Of The Flathead Indian Reservation is the compiled saga of the relationship of the Native American Salish people to the buffalo, including their dependence on it for survival in prehistory and their role in preserving the species today. Individual chapters include buffalo-related legends and history, the management of buffalo herds on the Flathead reservation today, Salish biographies, and much more. An amazing insight into the interrelationship of human beings and nature, "I Will Be Meat For My Salish" is a strongly recommended addition to Native American Studies supplemental reading lists and reference collections.

This little book is a real asset in teaching first aid to children. Easy to read, simple pictures, and solid advice, I highly recommend this book to health teachers as well as families.

....which is saying a lot since I have read many books. This book brought back crystal clear memories of my college days in upstate New York. Ms. Laiken clearly captures the Buffalo experience of the 1970s including the split Victorians divided up into cheap housing for college students that were so plentiful back then. Also she captures some of the stupid antics of college students gone awry as well as what it is like to adjust to a normal adult life after years of living with a clandestined highly dysfunctional family.

Too bad she is no longer writing fiction, additional contributions would be quite welcome.

I have the pleasure of just completing The Last Buffalo by Eva Hogan. It was heartwarming to read the love and admiration the author holds telling her family's story, and of Mr. Walter E. Potts, the author's grandfather. I thoroughly enjoyed the historical notes which spoke of our nation's role during the Great War, and how the author intertwined her grandfather's military career.

As a reader, I was facinated by the Potts' family history as an example of so many others. As an American, I loved the way Ms. Hogan educated me on parts of our history of which I knew little.

Ms. Hogan inspires us to research our own family histories, to uncover our own personal stories. I feel that I have grown to know Mr. Potts personally, and am amazed by his dedication and love for his country, people and family. Thank you for sharing his story.

One thing about Floyd Hand: He will challenge your comfortable ways of conditioning and thinking. He will require you to work on your inner self, on what you think and what you feel. This excellent book, compiled from a series of taped conversations, is written in circular fashion and distills the teachings passed on to him from his Lakota elders. It challenges us all to "think outside the box," to grasp a greater reality than what the dominant society has spoon-fed us, and to live in a holistic manner in accordance with Natural Laws. The book encompasses the spiritual force that transcends the boundaries between religions, and contains truths for anyone of any religious background, yet it is written from an Indian perspective. Looks for Buffalo is a no-nonsense teacher who speaks in plain, unvarnished language in a way that can have application to the lives of many looking for a better way to live in unity with the physical and spiritual worlds. I'd recommend attending one of his teaching circles, as well, if he comes to your area. The book and his in-person teachings compliment each other well, which is perhaps the reason his popularity as a teacher has grown so much among the Earth People over the past few years.

This novel, written by Buffalo Bill himself, provides a clear, accurate, and interesting picture of his life. Packed full with his adventures, I couldn't put the book down until the end! Strongly recommended for anyone interested in the formation and history of the American Western Frontier.

The Wild West was an even more heroic epoch than is commonly understood. While Buffalo Bill became a self-promoter, basic facts are clear: he was a superior plains guide and scout and Indian fighter. He really was the master hunter of buffalo from horseback. He was a Pony Express rider, with all that entailed. He was friends with Wild Bill, Custer, and other notables. He was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for bravery on the battlefield (though sadly it was removed many years later because of a bureaucratic technicality of how he had been employed by the Army, not because of any change in the evaluation of the heroic deeds.

A most fascinating book. It gives one a different perspective to hear it from a participant.END

I wish I could provide a comparative review, but to this day, this seems to be the ONLY book available that actively addresses what happened to Buffalo in the last quarter century. Thank you for conducting interviews honestly, without unwarranted nostalgia or trying to put a "happy face" on what continues to be a sad and terrible situation. I also appreciate your craftsmanship, both in the gorgeous photography and in your writing. The little was otherwise available on the subject through the Buffalo Historical Society was so amateurish that I was embarrassed to continue reading.
As a Western New York expatriate, I lead a happy life. That is, until I visit back home, and realize that no one knows me and that poverty has settled permanently on my hometown. I had imagined once that I could contribute to my community, that I could have somehow helped, but like the Blizzard of '77, the economic collapse was bigger than I was. You help to provide meaning to the Steeltown Diaspora.
