The whole conversation is full of these as we trace Axis deer from a herd floated down the Ganges in 1867 all the way to the first sharpshooter cull of 1898. Along the way: a German doctor who went on a shopping spree in Asia, bringing back mynah birds, plumeria, and seven Axis deer. And the Hawaiian King who personally escorted the tiny herd to his lands on Molokaʻi.
Years of Kuʻu digging through old newspapers and out-of-print books, and we're still only scratching it. Well worth catching up on before Part 2 drops next week. |
