A tragedy shown in cartography. Sometimes numbers overwhelm our brains, but that’s where maps, diagrams, charts, etc work best. This is an excellent example of that in action. I’m so glad his work had some positive impact.
Interesting. Answers a question I've had for years, about the origin of the bison as symbol of the National Park Service. And the incident in the zoo illustrates how otherwise functional people can enforce vile conditions on those they subjugate.
Ken Burns has an excellent documentary on The American Buffalo. Traces the tragedy, but ends on a optimistic note with many people and groups working to restore the Bison https://kenburns.com/the-american-buffalo/
You've probably already heard or read of it, but I loved Butcher's Crossing by John Williams. He's the same author as Stoner, which sort of lit the literature world on fire a few years back.

Complicated.
That image of all the Bison skulls stacked up made me audibly gasp - I can’t even visualise how many that is!!!
Sad, but super interesting. I have a few of those old buffalo nickels!

Is it any wonder they gore people taking selfies whenever they get the chance?
