It traces history from near extinction to a current population around 350 000, notes ranching benefits and meat use, cites Yellowstone s free roaming herd of about 2 500, and offers safety tips for viewing wild bison.

The Buffalo Nickel and the Wild Herd Decline

Between 1830 and 1880 the United States Army and railway interests hired buffalo hunters to feed troops and workers. Thousands of bison fell as herds blocked tracks, while railroads fostered hunting from trains. This collapse disrupted Indigenous lifeways and led to the minting of the buffalo nickel from 1913 to 1938 using a zoo animal as the model.
