M.T.H #18 ~Buffalo Before Breakfast

Jack looked back at the vast herd. As far as he could see, there was
nothing but buffalo.
Now Jack knew for certain they'd come to the time before the white
settlers and soldiers had arrived, before the end of the great buffalo
herds.

In this story, Jack and Annie were not in danger. In stead of them, Black Hawk who was their friend was facing danger. He seemed to show his bravery to them but he couldn't do that.

It made me feel sad that the number of Bison was decreasing because of immigrants. Black's family saved Bison to restrict hunting. Fortunately, some people realized the fact that Bison was likely to die out. It was a good story to recognize the selfishness of human to animal anew.
