Why people recommend it
American Buffalo by Steve Rinella is a comprehensive non-fiction exploration of the history of North American bison and the Plains tribes, blending historical research with personal hunting narratives. Although occasionally cross-referenced under similar titles, the book received glowing praise from Joe Rogan across multiple episodes of The Joe Rogan Experience. In December 2019, while speaking with Forrest Galante, Rogan commended his friend Steve Rinella for writing a great book about the history of Plains tribes and the North American buffalo, specifically recommending the audiobook version due to the author's excellent narration. Rogan revisited the topic days later while hosting S.C. Gwynne, sharing that he had posted on Instagram about how remarkable the book was. He mentioned the work yet again in April 2020 while talking with Owen Smith, noting that he had started reading Rinella's work because a significant portion of it detailed Native Americans hunting the buffalo. Across these discussions, Rogan consistently endorsed Rinella's work as an essential historical and wildlife resource, highlighting the depth of research and engaging storytelling that brought the American frontier to life for his listeners.
