Buffalo Herds and Roosevelt Era Save the National Treasure
A long arc from Flathead resistance to settlement helped shape the Yellowstone herd. Mitchell El Pablo built a private buffalo herd that fed the foundation of the park’s 1000 animals after Theodore Roosevelt backed conservation. Buffalo Jones moved from hunter to protector, guiding government aid and cross border transfers to unite northern and southern herds. The El Pablo and Goodnight lines merged, while the Flathead opening spurred sale negotiations. The Yellowstone herd now sustains zoos and parks, with other regional herds in Montana and the Crow reserve expanding the buffalo’s range.
