The Last Hunt By Milton Lott, 1954 Houghton Mifflin Literary Fellowship Award Novel, HCDJ First Edition

The story is set in the 19th century, and deals with the lives of two men whose cattle herd is wiped out by a storm. The men subsequently go into the buffalo-hunting business. The novel deals with their life in the trade, including a fight with Indians and the shooting of a white buffalo.
Lott worked on the novel while in school, and received a fellowship from Houghton Mifflin to finish the book. The book was later made into a film of the same name.
The Pulitzer Prize jury selected The Last Hunt for the 1955 fiction prize, but John Hohenberg convinced the Pulitzer board that William Faulkner was long overdue for the award, despite "A Fable" being a lesser work of his, and the board overrode the jury's selection, much to the disgust of its members.
