Buffaloes.

Published in the Sangamo Journal, Springfield,Illinois on Thursday, September 11, 1845

The rapid and wasteful destruction of the buffalo in the Western wilderness has been often alluded to and lamented by traveler’s, and is spoken of a length by Captain Fremont. In the last eight or ten years the number of buffalo robes received by the several Fur Companies has been, annually, about 90,000. Thousands of buffaloes are also killed every year, the skins of which are not dressed by the Indians.
