The North American BisonMore than 30 million bison roamed the Great Plains in the middle of the nineteenth century. By the end of that century, bison had been hunted almost to extinction. A number of individuals refused to allow bison to disappear, however, and their extraordinary efforts have helped bison to recover. |
