More Details

Summary:

By the late 1880s, the buffalo that once numbered in the tens of millions have been reduced to fewer than 1,000 and teeter on the brink of extinction. But a diverse and unlikely collection of Americans have started a few private herds in different locations--and for different reasons. In the early 1900s, their efforts grow into a movement that rescues the national mammal from disappearing forever.
