Book Description
Excerpt from Preserves and Ranges Maintained for Buffalo and Other Big Game The American Bison Society, Which.had offered to furnish the buffalo for stocking the range, raised by popular subscription for buying the animals. Thirty-four buffalo were purchased by the Society from.the Conrad Estate at Kalispell, Mont., at $275 each; the Conrad Estate gave the Federal Government 2 fine buffalo (the herd leader and a cow), and Charles Goodnight, of Goodnight, Tex., donated.a.pair of young buffalo from his famous herd, but the male died before it could be transferred to the range. The female, however, was shipped to the National Bison Range at the same time as were the buffalo obtained from the Conrad Estate. The fence having been completed and a warden appointed, the 37 buffalo forming the original herd were shipped to their new range, where they arrived on October 16, 1909, and were turned out on the range the following day. In November 1910, 3 buffalo from the Corbin herd were presented by the Blue Mountain Forest Association of New Hampshire.
