Bison skull pile

Photograph from the mid-1870s of a pile of American Bison skulls waiting to be ground for fertilizer. Courtesy of the Burton Historical Collection, Detroit Public Library.

Reason: It is very small, blurry and not very interesting.

Keep. Not very interesting? This image really puts into context just how many American Bison were exterminated in the late 1800s, and most certainly has the "wow" factor. --Tewy 19:04, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- It didn't say nothing to me, and I don't know anything about extermination of American Bisons in the late 1800s. It should link to the article of the subject it talks about. Anyhow, it is very very small. Tomer T 10:30, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - It's historic value, uniqueness, and strikingness override the size concerns. Also, it does link to the relevant articles. — BRIAN0918 • 2007-04-10 19:17Z
    - Can you tell me where is the article that talks about its subject? I want to know what are you talking about. Tomer T 13:02, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, but feel free to ask for a replace if anyone finds a higher resolution version. gren グレン 05:31, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I never comment around here, but I do check in once in awhile. I had to comment here. I first saw this image in a history textbook somewhere in the annals of educational career, it is still one of the most memorable photographs I have ever seen. IvoShandor 07:13, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also it does appear in American bison which has an extensive section on hunting. IvoShandor 07:16, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I originally found/uploaded this image. This is the clearest and largest version available. And of course it's very interesting and striking. — BRIAN0918 • 2007-04-10 19:12Z
