then desolate, arid, barren, and almost totally uninhabited, but
today a wealthy and productive part of our state.
The story of the buffalo hunt in and of itself is not an inci-
dent of much importance but it furnishes the material for a
most remarkable contrast of development within a period of a
generation. The wild buffalo has gone. The aboriginal red
man of the plains has disappeared. The white man with the
new civilization has stepped into their places. It all seems to
have been a part of Natures great plan. Out of the desolation
of the past there has come the new life with the new civilization,
just as new worlds and their satellites have been created out of
the dust of dead worlds.
There was a glory of the wilderness but it has gone. There
was a mystery that haunted all those barren plains but that too
has gone. Now there are fields and houses and schools and
groves of forest trees and villages and towns, all prosperous
under the same warm sunshine as of a generation ago when the
buffalo grazed on the meadow lands and the aboriginal Indians
hunted over the plains.
