11 pages 87 and 



108 reference is made to the traditional evidence afforded by such names as 

 '^ Buffalo Valley" and ^'BufEilo Creek/' of the former existence of the buffalo 

 near Lewisburg, in Union Comity, Pennsylvania. Through the kindness of 

 my friend, Professor C. H. Hamlin, I am now able to show that such names 

 owe their origin to the former presence of buffaloes at this locality. Pro- 

 fessor Hamlin, on writing to Professor J. R. Loomis, of the University at 

 Lcwisburg, received from him the following in reply to his inquiries. In 



14, 1876, Professor Loomis writes 



a letter 



dated Lewisburg, Pa., March 



as follow\s : ^^ I have made such inquiries as I could. One man whose 

 grandfather he well remembers, as well as much of his conversation, and 

 who lived here one hundred years ago, never heard of the bison beino- 

 native of this valley. I went to see the oldest native-born citizen of our 

 town, who is now eighty-six years old. He says there were no buffaloes 

 in his early days, but it was a current notion in his boyhood days that there 



had formerly been Since writing the above I have received the 



enclosed note from Mr. Wolfe, the first gentleman referred to on the other 

 page. The information, . .-. . coming so directly, .... is probably the 

 best that can now be gathered up." 



In the note from Mr. J. Wolfe to Professor Loomis, Mr. Wolfe states as 

 follows: "Since seeing you this morning I have had a conversation with 

 Dr. Beck, and he informs me that buffaloes, at an early day, were very 

 abundant in this valley, and that the valley received its name from that 



r 



circumstance. The Doctor received his information from Colonel John 

 Kelly, who w^as a prominent and early settler in the valley. Kelly told the 



Doctor that he shot the last one that was see 



n in the valley. Kelly 



received his information of the abundance of buffaloes from an old Indian
