Summary:
Over the course of his career, artist Paul Dyck (1917?2006) assembled more than 2,000 nineteenth-century artworks created by the buffalo-hunting peoples of the Great Plains. Only with its acquisition by the Plains Indian Museum at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West has this legendary collection become available to the general public. 'Plains Indian Buffalo Cultures' allows readers, for the first time, to experience the artistry and diversity of the Paul Dyck Collection?and the cultures it represents.
