There were a few varieties within the species, but historically, bison were found from the eastern slope of the Cascades all the way to the eastern seaboard. They also ranged northward into southern Canada, east of the Rockies; some into Alaska. The eastern half of the North American herd was killed off by market hunters by 1833.

It was more-or-less agreed that turning a blind-eye to the bison's extinction, to starve-out the Indian, would accomplish the task without making anyone in the government look too bad. A middling estimate of the bison's number before the hunting began was 60,000,000. The drive to starve the Indian out pushed their number to estimates of 541 to as few as 261 animals.
