history of north american bison
Prior to the 1800s, American bison (commonly known as buffalo) flourished with a large population. Bison herds were hunted almost to extinction in the 19th century, and by the 1890s fewer than 1,000 remained. Thankfully, through legislation and the creation of wildlife preserves, the bison population experienced an amazing comeback. The herds continue to grow, and today it is estimated that nearly 1 million bison exist throughout the United States and North America. |
