The Buffalo Train Ride
On October 11, 1907, three men climbed inside two livestock cars with fifteen woolly buffaloes.
They were about to make the most memorable trip of their lives. Bronx Zoo photographer Elwin Sanborn lay on a bed of hay. Next to him stood a wooden crate with a huge bull inside. Suddenly, through the slats, snaked a long, narrow tongue. It wrapped itself around a thatch of hay and jerked. Sanborn sat up with a start. He decided his bad-mannered roommate could have all the hay he could eat. No one wanted trouble. Only a wooden box separated Sanborn from a powerful set of horns. But, what an adventure! Sanborn, and the other two men, were traveling from New York City to Oklahoma Territory to save the bison from extinction. . . if all things happened as planned.
