Letter from Robert Lee Yokum to Theodore Roosevelt

Robert Lee Yokum asks Theodore Roosevelt for help in selling the late Scotty Philip’s herd of 300 bison, as there is not enough pasture for them. Yokum suggests dispersing the bison throughout the National Parks to aid in preserving the species. He reminds Roosevelt that he drove the team of buffalo at the celebrations in Cheyenne, Wyoming.
