Dr Jeff Martin: Whence the Buffalo Roamed:
When and Where Were Bison Roaming During Colonial North America and Before?
1897 Moosehead Ranch WY A. B. Adams-Owner died bef 1898 What happened to their bison herd? Did Moosehead ever have their own herd? I have to wonder if Glidden being a trader of wildlife claimed the Allard herd as ‘his’ to sell? Allard died in 1896 and there was no mention that I could find about the Moosehead having a bison herd prior to 1897, now after this. I had read there was turbulence on the ranch after the owner died, Glidden kind of taking over….reports of him drinking a lot , etc…and all that usually goes along with that.

1897 Moosehead Ranch WY A. B. Adams/H K Glidden Owner/Manager 248hd (misprint?) This ranch company possesses the second largest herd of American bison in existence.
The herd numbers 248 head. It is commonly supposed that the buffalo is extinct but H K Glidden who attends the shipment of elk says that there is a herd at Missoula Mont. which outnumbers the one controlled by the Moosehead ranch

Mr, H, K. Glidden,.of New York city, manager of the Moosehead ranch of Jackson’s Hole, Wyo., writes me that there will appear some time next week in Chicago, en route from Wyoming, what he thinks is the largest shipment of wild game on the hoof every made in this country. The animals are coming on in charge of Mr, H. B. Adams, who leaves Wyoming about June 26, and the cars will be for a time at the Union Stock Yards here Among the animals in the shipment the following are mentioned: Thirteen head of buffalo, one ‘‘cattleo” cow, twenty head of black tail deer, and a lot of antelope, these to go to the estate of Hon. Wm. C. Whitney, ex-secretary of the Navy. There will be also thirty-six head of elk for Hon, Edward H. Litchfield, of Litchfield Park, Tupper Lake Junction (Adirondack Mountains), N. Y. All this stock is coming through in palace stock cars. I do not learn where the ‘buffalo are coming from, or who is the breeder of the cattleo cow, which is reported to be a beauty; but I suppose the buffalo are from the Allard herd of the Flathead reservation. Charlie Allard lately died, and I have heard that the herd was to be broken up. Moosehead ranch is in the Jackson’s Hole country of Wyoming, one of the famous game grounds of America.
