        Bison Classic Editions

        Launched in 1961 as the University of Nebraska Press’s first trade imprint, Bison Books reflects the Press’s commitment to general-interest books that appeal to the educated reader. Originally published as inexpensive paperbacks, Bisons (as they became known) quickly caught on, publishing well-known authors from Mari Sandoz and Loren Eiseley to Wallace Stegner and Frederick Manfred. The Bison Classic Editions offer updated introductions contextualizing older works for modern readers and are an essential addition to any western history enthusiast’s library.
