Message From Past Found In Bison Exhibit At Smithsonian
Workmen dismantled an old bison exhibit at the Smithsonian and uncovered a metal box containing two 1857 Cosmopolitan magazines. A note by William T. Hornaday, then chief taxidermist, requests preservation of the specimens and hints at early taxidermy efforts. Hornaday later led the Bronx Zoo and died in 1937.
