Verv 2 many species of useful and beautiful wild life are today threaten- 1 ed with extinction thruout?the length and breadth of the land, n yet comparatively few of our people realize this and fewer ? yet are willing to make personal b sacrifices to save this wonderful t< heritage to the children of the ? future. o Scarcely a half century ago the buffalo roamed our western plains in almost uncountable numbers from Canada to Mex- l1 ico. To the red men who then roamed the plains with them tney were an unfailing source of ft supplies, food, clothing, housing and fuel. To the white men of the region they were all these w and represented also the wonder and romance of the primitive 5 apen world and the historic y aast. Cortez and his band of Spanish conquistadors were the p, first white men to see one. rhey found him confined in the e, nenagene at Montezuma's C( capital as a rare and wonderful d< animal from the untraden wilds w o the north, for Mexico City is fc hree hundred miles south of the el latural range of the bison. e, "A wonderful composition of g] livers Animals," says the Span- ta sh chronicler who described the ipecimen, referring to it as "the Mexican bull." "It has crooked Shoulders, with a Bunch on its a] Sack like a Camel; the Flanks d< iry; its Tail large, and its Neck w covered with Hair like a Lion. ^ t is cloven-footed, its Head je armed like that of a Bull, which ^ t resembles in Fierceness and ^ las no less Strength Agility." c< t? i/lii t.: 1U Ml L, 1./UKI1M1U1CU Sit W UlMJIl g, lear what is now the city of fe Washington, D. C., and after ^ hat date they were more com- al nonly seen roving throughout p3 various portions of what is now gl he United States, and occurig# n some parts in immense herds. ^, rhe open region of the Mississ- w ppi Valley, where the land was mforested but well watered, vas the true buffalo range. w rhere the early explorers found ^ he animals in such numbers, in e] lerds of such size, that only sup- C1 ;rlatives could be used in at empting to describe them. 'Teeming myriads," "countless j lerds," "incredible numbers," ire favorite phrases, which can jive only an inadequate idea of ^ he extraordinary spectacle often a] presented. It has been estimated , . v nai on uie plains alone were p orty million, on the prairies ^ hirly million, and in the woodid sections five million, a total S( seventv-five millions of these ^ iuperb animals, a wonderful ^ leritage, scattered over area of ai ?ome three million square miles. r( Looked at from an economic ^ >oint of view here was a mar- u ^elous source of free food, fur, eather and other products that g night easily have been conserv id as an unfailing supply to help ( essen today's high cost of living. The Indians of the earlier days ^ hus utilized the herds, their in- ^ oads upon them for meat and d Kins in no wise equaling the latural increase. Then came ' he while men, supplying the j wandering tribes first with lorses and later with firearms, ^ ind the decrease in the numbers >f the buffalo began. Yet even his did not presage extinction. ^ 3ut when the railroads crossed he plains, giving the white lunters easy access to the hithero distant and inaccessible places, Q ind the vast rush to slaughter or the hides alone began, the ;nd was in sight.
