Also one of the reasons I get a little "Can we not?" when people suggest putting up statues of Sherman/lionize Sherman as a way to 'piss off the south' 'cause. He was a BIG FAN of the bison extermination plan.

I have a really old schoolbook (circa '50s or '60s) of various historical stories. In one, two kids are thrilled to shake the hand of "hero" Buffalo Bill Cody, who personally slaughtered all those bison.
