Abstract:
The Eastern Wood Bison, one of three subspecies of North American bison, was killed to extinction by 1825. Two trans-mountain migration routes of the eastern wood bison roughly followed the French Broad River near Asheville, North Carolina. Remnants of the old bison trails still exist today and are distinguished by deeply sunken paths with old, mature trees growing from high embankments.

Abstract:
Between 1850 and 1973, twenty-eight birds, sixteen mammals, and twelve fishes have become extinct across the nation. North Carolina has also had its share of vanishing species, including the woods bison, buffalo, elk, passenger pigeon, Carolina parakeet, and ivory-billed woodpecker. Dossett discusses reasons for this and what steps, if any, have been taken to prevent extirpation of species.
