Following the Great Herds
The Plains Indians and the American Buffalo
The Library of the Westward Expansion
In this lively book, students will learn about the Native Americans who lived on the Great Plains. They will also learn that the Plains Indians used different methods to hunt buffalo and killed only as many buffalo as they needed. With the arrival of the white settlers, the opening of the cattle trails, and the mass killing of the buffalo herds by white hunters, tensions between the Plains Indians and the white settlers on the Great Plains eventually exploded into war.

Series Review: The Library of the Westward Expansion"The series is well crafted, well-researched and fascinating for the young reader. All titles use photographs, paintings from the times, and colorful illustrations to highlight what it was actually like settling and discovering the West. This is a great series in for the beginning and newly independent reader, yet sufficiently researched for the older student. These well-done books--all thoroughly researched, and great for browsing for reports--make this series a great addition to social studies collections, RECOMMENDED."
