Where the Buffalo Roamed

3 pp · Non-Fiction, Historical, Western-Frontier

This educational account traces the dramatic rise and fall of America's buffalo herds, from the sixty million that once sustained Plains Indian nations across the continent to near-total extinction in the late 1800s. The story chronicles how the herds' abundance enabled indigenous peoples to thrive through hunting and resourcefulness, then documents the devastating impact of hide hunters and westward expansion that brought the buffalo to the brink of disappearing forever. A sobering look at how quickly a cornerstone of frontier life could vanish—and how recovery is possible.
