sippi. His explorations We're chiefly IN
what is today Texas, Arizona and New
Mexico. In an the Indian villages, ac-
cOrding to those early explorers, tur-
keys were to be found, both wild and
domesticated.
Cortes. in one of his famous letters
written about 1913, mentions the tur-
key. He carried specimens of the bird
to Spain in 1920. where they came into
| immediate popularity, and the breed
ing of turkeys soon became establish
ed. 1t was then that the turkey be-
came known as "pavos," on account
of his relationship to the peacock,
which was then called 'pavo real
the fowl of kings.
1t was a long time before the tur-
key reached France, as far as can be
learned from history. for the first tur-
key eaten there was at the wedding
OF Charles TX and Elizabeth of Aus
tria. June or. 1879, or 50 years after
Spain had first tasted the bird. The
turkey supplied for the wedding came
from Somewhere in the American
Wilderness"
Its Introduction into England seems
to have been In 1924 But. whenever
1t was, 1t soon came into popular favor
and was given such local names as
Black Norfolk and Large Cambridge.
1t is an interesting fact that these
descendants of the parent stock were
carried back again across the Atlantic
ocean to New England. where, crossed
with the original turkey already there.
they began the breed that has spread
from one end of che country to the
other.
Many have been the explanations
made as to how the bird now so popu-
lar at Thanksgiving came to be called
the turkey. most of which, to the true
scientist, are nothing but fanciful The
bird was called turkey because 1t was
supposed 10 come from Turkey. where
| 1t was known as an Egyptian hen.
The markets of north Europe received
this fowl MS coming from south Eu-
rope, directly or indirectly from Tur-
KEY. In France. however, the bird was
! called "dindon," or in the feminine

remains that the turkey is indigenous

or other from the three forms known

variety
! The Mexican turkey is found wild
! throughout the republic. 1t appeals to
be the species first taken TO Spain and
other European countries. 1t Is
thought that the white markings Of the
variety of domestic turkey known to-
day as the Narragansett come from
this species.
Whatever the turkey may have miss
! ed through falling TO secure that place
OF honor suggested for it by Benjamin
Franklin-as the national bird-it has
nevertheless found a place in the re-
gard OF the American people which is
held by no other fowl-at least at
Thanksgiving.

He refused. however, TO heed either
advice or warnings and set out in
search of land. After much effort he
discovered single spot not covered
by water and alighted. But he found
it only deep mud SO he decided to
hunt farther for some dry place on
which to rest. But. alas when he
came to fly, he found his tail feathers
stuck fast in the mud.
He pulled and pulled, but could not
get them loose. Finally, however af-
ter gigantic tug. he managed to free
himself. But bits of mud stuck to the
end of the tail feathers. And to this
day turkeys have dark spots there
a sign of their disobedience to divine
command.
The turkey PLAYS more important
part in the life of the Indian than In
his legends alone. Not only is 1t re-
garded as a choice article of food, but
In many tribes 1t is held sacred. In
the parts of the country where curious

Turkey feathers rank next in impor-
lance to those of the eagle with all
tribes, while the Apaches, the Pamun-
keys and Cheyennes chose the turkeys
! feathers for all ceremonial headdresses
and ornaments. The Pamunkey tribe
also used turkey feathers for orna-
mental purposes on their clothing, as
well as for their headgears. To this
day, when they don their native cos
tunes. the turkey feather is preferred
as ornament

been needed, the turkev would have

ropean Adventures aad settlers ar.
rived they beheld great flocks Of tur-
keys, and it soon became known that

When Cortes in 1919 assembled to the
plateau OF Mexico he found social

finement He was entertained with
oriental magnificence. All the deli

were set before him. and though game
was abundant, the turkey held the
place of honor among the fowl. This
was the first time that the Spaniards

Which also reminds us that the tur-
key is Americas gift to the world.
The turkey is truly an American
bird. 1t existed on the continent with
the Indians before Columbus landed.
Only few years ago among the caves
of Arizona the mummified remains of
turkey were found. Practically every
cave once occupied by the cliff dwell
ers of that region contained the bones
or feathers of the turkey, but this spe-
cimen Is intact. It's age ia a matter
of speculation among the scientists of
the National museum, where the speci-
men is on exhibition.
Another interesting fact in this same
connection resulted from a scientific
expedition which DIR c. Hart Merri
man made among the mountains OF
| Arizona: he came across n living spe.
cies of bird identical with the one
| found mummlfied and which is known
TO the scientific world by his name.
Another recent discovery in connec-
ton with the turkey was q Maya hero

parent In the crude drawings. This Is
thought to be the first record of the
| turkey In this country and antedates
the expedition of Cortes to Mexico
| I'm 1919.
But the turkey goes back further
among the Indians than even the prob
able date at which the specimen found
in the cave existed. Among the Zunis,
for instance, there exist many legends
handed down from time immemorial
which have for their subject the tur.
key.
