Martha, the Last Passenger Pigeon, Dies
September 1, 1914
Martha, the last known passenger pigeon, dies at the Cincinnati Zoo. Although an attempt was made in 1857 to protect the pigeons, the Ohio state senate decided the bird wasn’t threatened. Their numbers faded until they were eventually hunted to extinction.
