We killed them out when wiped out the Native Americans.  Then we quit burning, and the grassland turned to forests.   We almost killed all the American buffalo.  100 years ago, we had killed millions and only 400 survived.  Today, we have tens of thousands.

yeah, which is kind of sad that they can only be found in national Geopark now.

The river has a story too.  In the late 1960's the government wanted to put a dam that would have flooded this river.  The people protested and plans were changed. It became a national park, the Buffalo National River, in 1972.
