"The Extermination of the American Bison" by William T. Hornaday is a book published in 1889. It documents the ecology of bison and their near-complete destruction across the United States through industrial-scale hunting. Hornaday chronicles the species' rapid decline, analyzing causes including unnecessary slaughter and lack of legal protection, while advocating for the survival of remaining bison in Yellowstone. The work includes an account of the Smithsonian's 1886 expedition to collect specimens
before extinction. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
