Pigs Arrive in America
Americans have special
reason for paying tribute to
the hog. He’s contributed
greatly to pioneering, set
tling and building this land.
Supposedly at Queen
Isabella’s urging, Columbus
brought eight pigs with him
on/his second voyage to the
sTew World. Cortez’ ex
cursion into Honduras in 1524
included a drove of swine.
But it was on May 25, 1539 ■
almost a century before the
arrival of the Pilgrims - that
the hog was introduced tc
mainland America. On this
date, Hernando DeSoto, who
was determined to conquer
Florida and establish
colonies in the interior,
landed at Charlotte Harbor,
Florida, with 600 soldiers,
350 horses and 13 hogs.
