There are no buffaloes in America now, except Buffalo Bill...I can remember
the time when I was a boy, when buffaloes were plentiful in America. You had
only to step off the road to meet a buffalo. But now they have all been killed
off. Great pity it is so. I don't like to see the distinctive animals of a country
killed off.
