"Manuel Ramos' _Blues for the Buffalo_ refers to a Los
Angeles Chicano lawyer and writer, Oscar Acosta, "the Brown
Buffalo," a novel set in the present that uses the past
(Acosta, left, at http://hometown.aol.com/msedano/mvsfoto/roll2.htm)."
Oscar Zeta Acosta wrote two autobiographical books of his
own, The Autobiography of a Brown Buffalo and The Revolt of
the Cockroach People. In addition, he was the inspiration for
Dr. Gonzo in Hunter S Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las
Vegas and his later piece about trying to solve the mystery
of Acosta's disappearance.
