I attended a parent/teacher meeting at my son's school today. As I was walking by the library there was a new book on display with the title "The Buffalo Nickel."
I checked it out and read the book to my children this evening. It is a very informative book that not only explains the life of James Fraser and how he came to design the buffalo nickel, but it also does a great job of explaining the entire minting process from plaster cast to hub to master hub to working dies. The book even explains the role of Augustus Saint Gaudens and his interactions with Teddy Roosevelt.
The book is entitled "The Buffalo Nickel." The author is Taylor Morrison and the book was published by Houghton Mifflin Company in 2002.
Kind of a neat thing to just come across at my children's small elementary school in rural Texas!
