| Cows are not native to America. Columbus
brought cattle with him on his second voyage to the New World. Due
to the high loss of human life when the pilgrims made their voyages, it
became English law that each ship destined for the New World had to carry
one cow for each five passengers. The ship's captain would then sell the
cattle and that would bring the captain a little income. |
