Shallow Streams Buffalo in Bands of Kansas Past
Seventy Years Ago Whole State Was Covered With Millions in Herds
Buffalo. in Kansas. Buffalo in hirses so big that they made the horizon black for miles to all directions. He big change-hunched furry. buffalo. in western Kansas, mode of nouns of the plains region in central western Kansas. Thousands of big beauties subdued the grasses on which they moved over the marsh.
Thousands of buffalo stopped eating, grazed out across the plain, tasted their heads, gave a short and started on a manicured stumppee knife, cut up and followed to fire arrows after arrow into their great halls. The bird passed out of site. The Trojans returned and dressed the Laber game, taking the best pieces of meat to be grilled for an *native* beef dish.
That was 70 years ago, before the white men came to Kansas. The Indians secured their season's vast supply from the birds of buffalos ripped the wide prairies. They killed only enough to fill their immediate needs, and the buffalo continued to live on the plains.
Needed Meat for Railroads
White men come, and with their civilization, Kilbulls were built and to feed the construction gans was a great problem. The buffalo herds in the vicinity solved the question, and men were hired to kill enough of the animals to fernish meat for the cattle. Thousands of them were killed.
Still they roamed the prairie below of a thousand or more. They often stopped the trains for hours while they slowly moved across the right of way to new grazing lands, but even if they that road ever all be killed.
The white man brought the licket for money. When someone discovered that the buffalo hides made excellent leather, and a market was opened in North Ecot, killing buffalo for their meat. Hundreds of thousands of buffalo were killed, their hiding removed, and the bodies left on the plains. Each year more buffalo fell. The great number came from hundreds of thousands. Shortly but surely the great American buffalo was disappearing. The time came when only a few scattered bones remained in unharmed districts. Finally they were gone, only their remains remained on the plains.

Present Knows Little
Millions of buffalo other than those represented by the bones that were sold were killed in Kansas, according to reports from Colonial Human. In any case the number of buffalo that rounded the Kansas plains in pioneer days numbered millions. In a quarter of a century they disappeared. Today they are practically extinct, and are seen in only in a few national parks and in 2003 throughout the country. Today they can be found on the plains, except when their grandparents tell.

Washington, Dec. 12. The most moving place of land and soil, unprotected by compacted soils for its quaranture and postite inspirations, is in reality a great battle ground where land and water meet in a never-endful field for surrepture, according to the rules of the game. And, under the land is given its distance, the superior force of the seas will capture the American coast by destroying pleasure resorts, occupying it with its captive ones of the moor.
