The Last Buffalo

The Last Buffalo provides a detailed account of the dramatic decline of American bison populations in the late 19th century. It highlights the devastating impact of hunting and habitat loss on these iconic animals, who once roamed the Great Plains in the millions.

The film also chronicles the efforts of William Temple Hornaday, a taxidermist at the Smithsonian Institution. His journey to hunt bison for the museum took a surprising turn as he became a key figure in the conservation movement to save the species from extinction.

For collectors of nature documentaries or those interested in wildlife preservation, this film offers valuable insights into an important chapter of American history. Its focus on the bison and the environmental challenges they faced makes it a notable addition to any collection dedicated to wildlife and conservation themes.
