The Destruction of the Bison
The Destruction of the Bison explains the decline of the North American bison
population from an estimated
30
million in
1800
to fewer than
1000
a century
later. In this wide-ranging, interdisciplinary study, Andrew
C. Isenberg
argues
that the cultural and ecological encounter between Native Americans and
Euroamericans in the Great Plains was the central cause of the near-extinction of
the bison. Cultural and ecological interactions created new types of bison
hunters on both sides of the encounter: mounted Indian nomads and Euroamer-
ican industrial hidemen. Together with environmental pressures, these hunters
nearly extinguished the bison. In the early twentieth century, nostalgia about the
very cultural strife that first threatened the bison became, ironically, an impor¬
tant impetus to its preservation.
