In 1961 Bison Books blazed a paperback trail to some of the best stories about Nebraska and the Great Plains. Mari Sandoz’s Old Jules led a prairie storm of neglected greats such as Willa Cather, Wallace Stegner and Bess Streeter Aldrich. In The Golden West: Fifty Years of Bison Books, edited by Alicia Christensen (University of Nebraska Press, $16.95), Bison Books can continue to celebrate with June publications such as Lord Grizzly by Frederick Manfred and Or Perish in the Attempt by David J. Peck.
