  Buffalo hunters
 

Buffalo hunters' camp in the Texas Panhandle, 1874

 
 
 

 “But the white man comes and cuts down the trees, building houses and fences, and the buffaloes leave and never come back, and the Indians are left to starve, or if we follow the game, we trespass on the hunting ground of other tribes and war ensues.”
