| Title: | Buffaloes, Killing off the Southern Herd |
|---|---|
| Description: |
Wildlife Management Slide Show created by the USFS in 1938. Transcribed from original program. 1.Prior to invasion and settlement of the Great Plains of the Middle West, this great region literally teamed with wildlife. Of all species, the buffalo was probably the most important, because it furnished food, clothing, and shelter to the Indians. Ruthless slaughtering of this great animal for food and for market accompanied colonization. Thousands upon thousands were dilled for their hides alone, and thousands more were merely shot for sport and left where they had fallen. Many of the early Indian wars were incited by the ruthless destruction of buffalo by the whites, for the redskin realized that his very existence depended upon the perpetuation of the buffalo. The buffalo has long since disappeared over its entire range and is now found only on refugees set aside for its use and in Parks and Zoos. Wichita National Forest is now under the jurisdiction of the Biological Survey |
