Tatanka

Forgot to give you some buffalo or tatanka statistics. So here they are:
-It is estimated that in 1870 there were over 30 million buffalo roaming freely on the Plains.
-By 1900 there were fewer than 1,000. Talk about destruction of a culture and a people!!!
-William F. Cody (Buffalo Bill) killed 4,280 buffalo. The buffalo he killed were sold to feed the construction crews of the Union Pacific railroad.

Have a happy Friday and I will be sending the essay your way tomorrow!
