BOOKS - Annual Report of the American Bison Society - sets of individual volumes 1, 2, 5 and 1922-23

Rubber banded into sets - 5 separate volumes.  This is the real historical set ... just a reprint at a reasonable price, but you get to read (and think about) what it must have  been like to be deciding the fate of the American Bison just past the Great Slaughter.

From the "All About Bison" website:  

The American Bison Society (ABS) began in 1904 and founded in 1905 by pioneering conservationists and sportsmen including Ernest Harold Baynes, founder; William T. Hornaday, president; Theodore Roosevelt, honorary president to help save the bison from extinction and raise public awareness about the species. Because of the secure populations of bison in public herds, the American Bison Society votes itself out of existence, the ABS considered their work done, and the organization was disbanded in 1935.

The original American Bison Society (unlike the copycat namesake of today who I personally see as "do littles") was comprised of some of the true saviors of the turn of the century herd.  These minutes of their discussions tell the bulk of what and how their got things done.  The rest is told by those today who have raised and supported the continued increase of bison herds not with words but with sweat, actions and their own dollars.
