History

• The American buffalo (Bison), often known as the
  American Bison, is a North American bison
  species. The buffalo is an essential member and
  icon of North American wilderness, having
  traditionally been seen in a wide, virtually
  pan-continental range.

1500s 1830 1860 1870 1872-1874 1884
North America is home to an estimated 30-60 million bison, the most of which live on the flat lands. The hunting of bison begins. The railroad's construction amplifies human population and bison death. In one year, an estimated 2 million are died on the southern plains. Every day for the next three years, an estimated of 5000 bison were murdered. This is 5.4 million bison murdered in three years. The bison population gets an all-time low. There are around 325 wild bison left in the U.s, with 24 in Yellowstone.
