Was there REALLY a sea of buffalo? I mean c'mon!
Talking
Buffalo Herds
on
Petticoats and Pistols
today.
Stories of the vast size of the buffalo herds in the American west have always left me with doubts. Could the herds have been this big?
The talk of buffalo herds miles across, the whole land alive and moving as they migrated, walking along grazing.
Because of that I found some supposedly reliable first person accounts of the size of the massive herds.

More than 95 percent of all births took place at HOME .
Ninety percent of all doctors had NO COLLEGE EDUCATION!
Instead, they attended so-called medical schools, many of which Were condemned in the press AND the government as 'substandard.'
Sugar cost four cents a pound.
Eggs were fourteen cents a dozen.
Coffee was fifteen cents a pound.
Most women only washed their hair once a month, and used
