About the author

William T. (William Temple) Hornaday

William T. (William Temple) Hornaday

1854–1937

A pioneering zoologist and conservation advocate, he helped bring public attention to the near-extinction of the American bison and pushed wildlife protection into the national conversation. His work at the Smithsonian and the Bronx Zoo made him one of the most visible conservation figures of his era.
