"...this is just ghastly," Missy meowed. To steal a sister's heart was to desecrate her accomplishments before the Great Cats. To steal a sister's eyesight was to deny her entry into a next life. Why would anybody do so to the Old Crone, who had given her life to the city and the betterment of every cat within it? In a nondescript city there live groups of cats, each in their own territory. Missy is such a cat, part of the block of garden cats. She lives a carefree life up until she finds out that her neighbor was murdered; with a clue to the killer, Missy and two of her friends set out to find the one responsible.

In this lavishly illustrated volume, Richard E. McCabe, Bart W. O'Gara and Henry M. Reeves explore the fascinating relationship of pronghorn with people in early America, from prehistoric evidence through the Battle of Little Bighorn in 1876. The only one of fourteen pronghorn-like genera to survive the great extinction brought on by human migration into North America, the pronghorn has a long and unique history of interaction with humans on the continent, a history that until now has largely remained unwritten. With nearly 150 black-and-white photographs, 16 pages of color illustrations, plus original artwork by Daniel P. Metz, Prairie Ghost: Pronghorn and Human Interaction in Early America tells the intriguing story of humans and these elusive big game mammals in an informative and entertaining fashion that will appeal to historians, biologists, sportsmen and the general reader alike.
