OTOH, it is well known that the Native Americans ate every bit of the
buffalo and nothing was thrown away.

I am searching for excerpts from the diary of my GG grandfather's
cousin and images of his artifacts right now.

He describes eating raw buffalo liver and buffalo tripe at a fur
trading post along the Missouri river in 1843. He was famous in his
profession, but I cannot reveal his name in this group.
