"ALMOST EVERYONE WHO HAS VENTURED EVEN SLIGHTLY INTO THE SPIRITUAL WORLD OF THE AMERICAN INDIAN CAN RELATE INEXPLICABLE HAPPENINGS."

DEE BROWN IN HIS INTRODUCTION TO DOUG BOYD'S ROLLING THUNDER

"Inexplicable Happenings" were the reason I began to write BY THE SIDE OF THE BUFFALO PASTURE. After visitng Miracle, the White Buffalo of Janesville, Wisconsin, I met many people who had heard of Her, but had not had the chance to visit Her farm. In sharing my story, I hope to bring to readers the beauty and mystery of Her myth as well as the magic of Her presence.

BACK COVER TEXT FROM BY THE SIDE OF THE BUFFALO PASTURE

On August 20, 1994 a White Buffalo was born on a small farm outside Janesville, Wisconsin. Her unusual hue, reminiscent of an ancient Native American legend in which a buffalo turns several colors, drew thousands of visitors to Her farm.

I was one of them.

At that time, I was living in Tacoma Park, Maryland and working for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in Washington, D.C. I hadn't heard Her legend. I read about Her birth in the Washington Post and went to see her as a curious tourist. Years of visiting Her converted me into a believer in things unseen and unspoken words heard as a truth from within.

"Who was She? What was She? Could I begin to say? Could I pretend to know? Who among the ancients heard the voice of the Oracle at Delphi? Who spoke to Blake or Black Elk? Was She the same small voice that whispered to Socrates or the Great God that came to Moses in the form of a burning bush? Some would say She was the sweet rhythm of my own intuition, others that She was nothing more than a large mammal on a Midwestern farm. She was significant to native peoples, and all of the world's religions have their someone special; their own way of understanding, explaining, communicating with or coming closer to their God and embracing the peace that relationship brings."

And, so, I share my story of visits to Her farm.
