Synopsis

Although millions of buffalo once covered the great plains, the animals were hunted almost to extinction in the 1880s. In this compelling story of perseverance, the reader is led through a tale of tragedy followed by triumph. When land was a valuable as gold, conservationists fought to establish a wildlife preserve for bison. Fifteen buffalo from the New York Zoological Society were loaded onto a train, and three men were assigned to stand guard on the 1800-mile trip.

About this title

From the Publisher

What teachers and librarians are saying: "Desiree Webber gave a program for the children this summer at the Hobart Public Library and did a wonderful job. She talked to an audience of 72 little ones about the buffalo in the wildlife refuge near Lawton and her book entitled "The Buffalo train Ride." She brought a buffalo hide and bones and adopted her presentation to our young audience and they just loved her. We highly recommend her to any school or library wanting an interesting and fun program." Jerri Menz, Director, Hobart Public Library.

"Desiree's presentation brings to life historical events that children cannot otherwise experience. Her master audience skills are evident as she works with children of all ages. The presentation is educational, enjoyable and entertaining." Buffy Edwards, School Media Specialist, Norman Public Schools.
