TURKEYS

The beautiful bronze turkeys that furnish the biggest specimens for the family festivities were domesticated before white men came to America. Cortez found them in the markets of Mexico, and showed that he was a gourmet as well as freebooter; for turkeys soon found their way to Spain and thence all over Europe, finally being reintroduced into American domestication in the English-speaking colonies, which had, however, already made the acquaintance of the smaller native wild turkey of their own forests.
