The American Bison - BY
Claire Talmage
Dear Juniors

Dear Juniors:
l have never written to the Juniors
before, so thought ! would write a
school composition.
The American bison is a wild OK that
has never been tanned. They used to go
about in North America in large herds.
Animals that go in wild herds are usu-
ally led by the oldest or strongest of the
party.
Bisons are larger than oxen, but have
smaller horns. They have very large
heads and hoofs and hump on their
backs. They also have long names that
end in boards.
For such great animals bisons can
run very swiftly. Their flesh is good
for food. and for this they are hunted.
Although so fierce and strong looking
unless they are hurt first they will not
attack people.
Bisons arc hunted by men on horse
back. armed with guns that will carry
a bullet a long way. and such numbers
of these creatures have been killed late
ly that they are seldom met with in
large herds.
They are hunted for their skins which
are made into cloaks, as well as for
their flesh.
