American Buffalo

— (Bison bison) —


This sculpture serves as a memorial to the great herds of Plains Buffalo - a reminder of what was compromised in the development of our great nation and is now lost from the landscape
- Marc Swanson, artist, 2010
The primary cause of the buffalo's extermination and the one which embraced all others, was the descent of civilization, with all its elements of destructiveness, upon the whole of the country inhabited by that animal."
- William T. Hornaday, noted zoologist (1854-1937)
