His writings on conservation and ecology influenced nascent wildlife preservation movements in the late 1800s and early 1900s. At that time, mounting skinned animals properly in museums was considered a high form of art. Hornaday served as the Smithsonian's chief taxidermist. A former hunter and tracker, Hornaday's dedication to animal preservation contributed to the founding of the Smithsonian's National Zoo. Haunted by the scattered skeletal remains of the millions of slaughtered bison that peppered the Eastern Montana Plains, Hornaday fought to establish the National Zoological Park, in an effort to provide sanctuary for bison and other endangered species and to establish a captive breeding program to lead to the reintroduction of the American bison to the wild.

This Maryland paper, the Baltimore Evening Sun, cried “Darn! There goes a-glimmering the thrill of a lifetime.” But the mammoth parade had not been called off, and news that it had not was provocative of press comment the country over. For example, “Go to it, Klan!” said one editor; “let the nighties gleam!” The Baltimore Sun, in an editorial headed “Have a Heart!” said: “Washington languishes, a fit place for hookworms and sleeping sickness. Into that depressing solemnity comes the Ku Klux Klan to kick up a few didoes. Deprive it of its fiery cross? Gosh, no!” The Syracuse Herald said: “Ku-Kluxism is least harmful and menacing when the sun shines on it. Only in the dark can it make trouble. For that reason, we say, let them parade.” When Thomas L. Avaunt, former Klan official who is now the head of the Protestant Knights of America, protested to President Coolidge against the proposed demonstrations, the Memphis Commercial Appeal protested, “Avaunt, Mr. Avaunt, and the the Ku Klux parade!” This was the common attitude, except at the Capitol, where a certain apprehensiveness prevailed, and the Washington News took pains to declare, “There isn’t going to be the slightest disorder,” while the Washington Evening Star said “There is no occasion for alarm,”….
