Book Description

Excerpt from Massacres of the Mountains: A History of the Indian Wars of the Far West The bison, formerly found in nearly all parts of the Rocky Mountains, is considered by some a distinct variety, as it has shorter legs, finer fur, and quicker motion than the bison of the plains. I have found their skulls at an elevation of feet above the sea. There are probably a few still to be found, but, like those of the plains, they are practically extinct.
