Vanishing Prairie, an exciting adventure story of American wildlife on the Great Palins of the West, is the second in Walt Disney’s remarkable series of True-Life Adventure. Each of these superb accounts is based on a memorable Disney documentary film. The text presents a more amplified version of the lives of prairie creatures than was possible in the film’s sound track. Its pages are crowded with glowing color photographers, recording “a kind of native American life which … has been all but crowded out of existence”.
