The Allard Pablo Buffalo Herd and Wainwright Park
A saga of Pablo the rancher and his partner Allard as they acquire the remnants of a dying buffalo herd. From early 1880s drives to a 716 head contract with Canada and a 1903 purchase of Buffalo Jones stock, the herd becomes the last sanctuary. Wainwright Park then shelters the animals, expanding to about 8,500 with savaged culling, and new herds spread to Yukon and zoos.
