Excerpt from King of the Thundering Herd: The Biography of an American Bison
At the opening of the last century, and even as late as 1871, when the Union Pacific Railroad cleft the great herds asunder, there roamed upon the vast American plains, stretching from the Alleghany Mountains to the Rockies, and from the Mexican border to the Hudson Bay country, probably the most inconceivable herd of wild animals ever ranging upon a single continent. This almost countless herd was formed of hundreds of millions of American bison, or buffalo, as they were indiscriminately called.
