The Rescue of The Buffalo Si
The rescue of the buffalo,
more properly called bison,
from extinction is a romance of
that fight for conservation that li
goes on in this country with n
<?ver-mcreasing vigor. 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<

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. It took the t]
