Koloa,HI - Kauai County - 1876 - Hawaiian Cattle Tracking Inventory *Territorial* :
An original two-page document tracking cattle inventory in the very early days of Hawaii's cattle industry. Signed by Frank R. Smith and A.H. Maioho. Rare. In 1793 the first cattle were imported to Hawaii from California by Capt. George Vancouver. Almost immediately King Kamehameha I issued an edict prohibiting the slaughter of cattle. When the restriction was removed in 1830, cattle were numerous and had a firm foothold in Hawaii [Ref: hawaii.gov/hdoa/ag-resources/history].
