about
The great lie of the Western myth and the blood stained history that survived in place of it:
"A buffalo wallow or bison wallow is a natural topographical depression in the flat prairie land that holds rain water and runoff.
Originally this would have served as a temporary watering hole for wildlife, including the American bison. Wallowing buffalo that drank from and bathed in these naturally occurring shallow water holes gradually changed the pristine watering hole into a buffalo wallow. Each time they went away, they carried mud with them from the hole, thus enlarging the wallow. Furthermore, wallowing action caused abrasion of hair, natural body oils and cellular debris from their hides and left the debris in the water and especially in the soil after the water evaporated. Every year the debris accumulated in the soil in increasing concentration and formed a water-impenetrable layer that prevented the rain water and runoff from percolating into the lower layers of the soil. Ultimately the water remained for long periods which attracted more wildlife. Even when stagnant, the water would be eagerly drunk by thirsty animals. Though thriving buffalo herds roamed and grazed the great prairies of North America for thousands of years, they have left few permanent markings on the landscape to recall their past presence. Exceptions are the somewhat rare yet still visible ancient buffalo wallows found occasionally on the North American prairie flatlands."

lyrics
All the years gone by
Hangin' on like ghosts
On the manifest ride
Eyes on the coast.
Legacy of pride
And the annals of shame
How the legends have lied
Yet the spirit remains
Memories that would feed the land
Taken as a right by the arms of man
In the field where the bison roam no more
By the shadow of the Teton, reveling in gore
Not so deep:
The watering hole.
A place for beasts
To rest their bones.
Then the crack of the gun--
Mass sprawl of decay.
Then you see the holes
Dry and fade away.
Memories that would feed the land
Taken as a right by the arms of man
In the field where the bison roam no more
By the shadow of the Teton, reveling in gore
Memories that would feed the land
Taken as a right by the arms of man
In the field where the bison roam no more
By the shadow of the Teton, reveling in gore
