Browning Man Digs Buffalo Bones Instead of Buying Furs
Ben Larson of Browning shifts from annual fur trips to dig buffalo bones at Badger and Cut Bank creeks. He undertakes a bulldozer clean up to expose bones once used to drive buffalo to death by Indians. Bones and teeth are sold for curio trade as the market for bone charcoal persists.
