Bison the White Buffalo

The War Between the States has since ended but tension with the Native American tribes continued over the loss of their land. During the time of restoration, the United States had begun building a railroad to connect its eastern and western shores. In 1869, the east and west railroads were connected by a golden spike in Promontory Summit in the Utah Territory creating the Transcontinental Railroad.

Train cars and locomotives began to bring travelers across the country. Many of these travelers were pioneers hoping to begin a peaceful life in the great wilderness, while others were hunters looking to become rich by hunting the noblest of all animals, the buffalo. Read along and see if Bison is able to help save his friends from the hunters and the settling of the American West in Bison the White Buffalo.
