William Tecumseh Sherman has several quotes about encouraging the slaughter of buffalo that are extremely easy to look up.
Saying that Natives are responsable for the mass slaughter of bison is completely ludicrous.
I presented a book myself, but apparently that doesn't count?

Are you kidding me? That's the book I sent and it doesn't say anything about that.

Again this man entered the scene when the hunting by European settlers was already quite underway.

Not wholly, just in part, you know the meaning of nuance, right? The book you sent said the same, that the Natives implementation of horses and new guns allowed them to hunt more, partially supplementing the problem of overhunting.
I'm not, I've read several books and academic papers on the history of the American Buffalo. So have a read an correct yourself.

It is true they didn't have horses since the modern horse is native to Europe and Asia. Andrew Isenberg wrote an excellent history of, specifically plains tribes, transition to the horse http://www.amazon.com/Destruction-Bison-Environmental-1750-1920-Environment/dp/0521003482?ie=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*=0
