When it comes to the eariest history of bringing horses to the new world very few people know what is known about the number, manner of delivery, and ultimate fate of horses first brought to North America by the Spanish.
More importantly no one now what we do not know. This summer a Spanish fort that predates Jamestown by forty years and the Lost Colony by twenty years has been discovered in the mountains of North Carolina.
Who knows how many other voyages, explorations and expeditions occurred that have slipped by history?
One who speaks with abolute certainly of the events of the present is a simple fool. One who speaks with absolute certainty of the events of the distant past is a self delusional fool.
