It was estimated that about two thousand buffalo hunters were operating between Dodge City and Wichita in 1873. This encyclopedia contains listings for a few over eleven hundred men and several women who were directly involved as hunters and/or skinners of buffalo hides, plus appendices of persons who were meat hunters, road ranchers, suppliers, freighters for the hunters, sport hunters and bone gatherers. The information available for the individuals varies from a simple entry found in a city directory, to extensive autobiographical accounts. Letters A-D, hardcover, illustrated, 286 pages.
