Join Professor Valerius Geist and photography Michael Francis as they salute the pronghorn antelope, the little brother of the American bison. This swift, smart, beautiful animal is the last survivor of North America's original large mammals. &break;&break;Val Geist of Calgary tells the fascinating story of the pronghorn, which has preserved through harsh and constant threats. If the pronghorn had not survived, the Great Plains today would be without a plains-adapted big-game animal. &break;&break;Geist's extensive biological and archaeological knowledge offers a unique, awe-inspiring look at the magnificent animal. Geist's story-telling ability captures all the science, history and beauty the pronghorn has to offer. &break;&break;More than 100 of Francis' colorful images captures the allure of the prairie and the heart of pronghorn country. Travel west with Geist and Francis. You'll soon understand why so many volunteers worked so hard to keep the prairies a place where the pronghorn can thrive and enthrall.

Named for the frisky and elusive animals that bounded across the prairie, Antelope County is located in the center of Nebraska's northeast corner. The county's gently rolling slopes are bisected by the Elkhorn River Valley. The first people traveling through the area were fur traders and Pawnee, Lakota Sioux, Cheyenne, and Arapahoe Indians. After passage of the Homestead Act in 1862 and the end of the Civil War in 1865, the lure of starting a new life on unclaimed land in the West brought settlers to the valley. When immigrants from New England, Indiana, Ohio, and Illinois rode the ferry across the Missouri River, they were advised to travel farther west to the fertile soil of the Elkhorn Valley. After Antelope County was founded in 1871, railroads promoted the establishment of Oakdale, Neligh, Tilden, Clearwater, Elgin, Orchard, Brunswick, and Royal. The settlers engaged in farming and related agricultural activities.
