Eating Hard Tack and boiled water will get old rather quick.

Plenty of buffalo and elk to satisfy the protein craves...............

Until the buffalo hunters decided to decimate the herds so the Indians would starve.

I’m just glad someone had the foresight to save some buffalo. Beautiful animals. Unless you’re a tourist in Yellowstone....;o]

It was the Railroad Barons the wanted to get rid of the buffalo.

They would sometimes delay trains for days and it affected their schedules and profits.

They would have “hunting parties” that just shot the animals along the tracks and left them to rot.............
