Buffalo for Broken Heart

In this book, the feelings that the author have for the land come through in his writing. His attempts to restore the land to its native state, to provide cover for the species which populate the grasslands and his methods of rotating his grazing stock speak of his connections and respect for the land. Even though it seems to be impossible for the land to be lucrative in any way, he keeps his sense of humor about his success (or lack of it), about himself, and about his neighbors and friends.
I'm not sure if I would or could offer any suggestions about his use of the land- he is an intelligent man and has educated himself in the history and native wildlife of the area. I would express my admiration for the fact that he seems always to be trying to do things to the benefit of nature first and foremost. I would also thank him for his book and the enjoyment I derived from reading it.
