THE BORDER AND THE BUFFALO An Untold Story of the Southwest Plains BY JOHN R. COOK Originally published in 1907, this story offers valuable history and insight into the days of yesteryear when buffalo covered the Plains and the buffalo hunter was born. It is of special interest to black powder cartridge rifle shooters and Sharps rifle enthusiasts. **** The slaughter of the great buffalo herds of the West took place between 1874 and 1884. The southern herds in the Texas Panhandle were gone as early as 1878. John R. Cook was one of the hunters taking part in the extermination. The Border and the Buffalo, first published in a small edition at Topeka, Kansas in 1907, is one of the most important first-hand accounts about buffalo hunting that has ever been written. It not only captures events in early Kansas history, but it depicts, in great detail, the life of the hide-hunters on the Western plains during the late 1860s and 1870s. Travel along with Cook and his Sharps rifle as he describes the hunting and marketing of buffalo in vivid detail and engages in the everyday camp activities of securing guns, cooking, defending the camp, and transporting buffalo hides. Along the way, he encounters Indians, bears, cougars, verdigris poisoning, cowboys, cattle fever, and of course, herds of buffalo. The book also highlights specific battles with the Cheyenne and Comanche Indians, the Staked Plains horror, and various scouts with the U.S. Cavalry on the plains of Texas. Excerpt from the book: « They informed us that the great mass of the buffaloes was south of the Red River, and that there would be no profitable buffalo-hunting here until the next May or June. Here I was fortunate to enough to buy off one of these hunters a Sharp’s .44-caliber rifle, reloading outfit, belt, and 150 shells. The man had used the gun only a short time, and seventy-five of the shells had never been loaded. I got the gun and his interest in the entire buffalo range for thirty-six dollars, he having met with the misfortune of shooting himself seriously, but not fatally, in the right side with the same gun which proved a ‘hoodoo’ to me as the hunters afterwards sometimes remarked. It was an elegant fine-sighted gun, with buckhorn sights. » CONTENTS: Chapter I Boyhood in Territory of Kansas, 1857 – Day Fort Sumpter Was Fired On – First Confederate Army at Independence, Missouri – Search for Guns – A Glimpse of Quantrill – Guerrillas and the Money Belt – My Uniform – Quantrill at Baxter Springs Chapter II Early Settlements of Southwest Kansas – Texas Cattle Fever Trouble – The Osage Indians and Firewater – Poor Mrs. Bennett – How Terjwillijer’s Cattle Stampeded – Why the Curtiss Moved On – The Odens Murder Parker – Parker Was Avenged – Jane Heaton and Her Smith & Wesson Revolver – What Became of the Benders Chapter III A Trip to New Mexico – Prospecting Around the Base of Mount Baldy – My Experience With A Cinnamon Bear – Wail of the Mountain Lion – Tattooed Natives, Bound for the Texas Panhandle – I Lanced A Buffalo – Loaned My Gun and Suffered Chapter IV « Lost » – « Alone At Night in the Wilds » – « I Quicksanded in the Canadian » – The Beaver Played in the Water – Second Day and Night It Snowed – The Wolves Serenade Me – Was Getting Snowblind – Third Night Out, Suffered in Body and Mind – Following Morning, Found Adobe Walls – And the Good Samaritans Were There Chapter V We Move – Acres of Buffalo – Indian Scare – Killed Two Bear – First Wedding in the Panhandle – At Last – Fort Elliot – Meet Romero and Son – The Great Buffalo-slayer – What Gen.
