Sir St George Gore Expedition Slaughtered Buffalo for Sport
A historical summary recounts Sir St George Gore’s 1854 Western hunt starting from St Louis. The 40 plus caravan killed thousands of buffalo including 6000 in one camp, drawing Congress scrutiny and early wildlife protections. Gore’s lavish camp, brutal method, and clashes with Americans, Indians, and fur interests shaped a merciless era of robe hunting and buffalo decline.
