Description Part of the last herd of wild, American Bison. This vintage photo by L.A. Huffman, published 1913, had the caption of '1880 Northern Montana'. Historians estimate there were less than 300 wild buffalo in all of America by that date. Still, they were hunted until the last 23 individuals were found hiding in the Pelican Valley of Yellowstone NP in 1900. It is from those surviving animals that today's Yellowstone herds of 3,700 descended! I purchased this photo from a respected 'vintage papers' dealer for about four hundred dollars.
