Roadside America"One of them bit the sod in the present-day town of Snyder; a statue on its courthouse square commemorates the event. The man who shot it, J. Wright Moore (Mooar), received so much favorable press that he was able to start his own ranch. From it, the town of Snyder was born.
For years the statue in Snyder was a fiberglass male. Then someone noticed that the white buffalo's hide (which is still in the den of Moore's granddaughter) is from a female. Snyder quickly raised funds, threw out the fiberglass bull, and now a classy bronze buffalo cow, painted white, marks the spot."
