About this ebook
In the 1800s, the vast herds of buffalo that once covered the plains of North America were hunted almost to extinction. How were they saved? What started with a plea from Comanche Chief Quanah Parker to President Theodore Roosevelt ended with an 1800 mile train ride for fifteen buffalo to a wildlife preserve in Oklahoma Territory.
