Notes

I found Andrew Isenberg's book, The Destruction of the Bison, An Environmental History, completely fascinating.
If you want to do a deep dive on Madison Grant, I'd recommend Defending the Master Race: Conservation, Eugenics, and the Legacy of Madison Grant by John Peter Spiro.
If you want to do a deep dive on the Catalina Buffalo, this site is a fun place to start.
