In today's episode: Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve.
Once, a sea of grass covered 170 million acres of North America, only to be nearly erased in a single generation. Today, less than 4% remains. We journey to the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve, a landscape saved not by wisdom, but by a geological accident that defeated the plow. Here, we uncover stories of First Peoples, ambitious cattle barons, and the 70-year political war fought to protect this last stand, culminating in the triumphant return of the American bison.
