Buffalo Comeback Seen for American Bison Population
A report by C Gordon Hewitt in Natural History notes bison numbers rising in the United States and Canada from an estimated 1,001 in 1889 to about 7,860 at the start of 1919. The article credits U S and Canadian actions, protected herds in Yellowstone and Wainwright, and discusses future plans including more reservations and potential private or municipal donations of surplus animals.
