I watched the first part of this last night. It wa a bit of a tough watch as hunters exterminated the bison. I am watching the final part tonight when things apparently get better.

America is lucky to have talented film-makers willing to record its history.

He is very shallow, to be honest. Let us know if he reports the factual history that it was a hunter that actually saved them from extinction.

Yes he did. Maybe you should watch it? It was as is par for the course for him, a very good informative piece.

They have reintroduced them somewhere in Kent I believe. But they havent got much option to roam.

Part one was very depressing, but much of American history is.

Very well done though, have to watch the rest of it.

Having watched the final episode the hunters do not come out of it with any credit, barring a few isolated examples. Heartbreaking.
