The Last of the Bison in Yellowstone and West
A Forest and Stream writer traces the near extinction of the American bison. He recalls 1865 counts in Yellowstone showing perhaps 100 to 125 buffalo, with a few dozen in Musselshell and Red Desert herds and likely none remaining in Lost Park. By recent counts inside the park only 12 to 15 buffalo remained and nonbreeding.
