Horses as Novelties On Hawaiian Islands 1803
In 1803 Captain Richard Cleveland of Salem brought several horses to the Sandwich Islands, stopping at Cape St. Lucas to buy a mare and foal. After a voyage ending at Nowee and Toongah Bay they landed the mare for John Young, the first horse seen in Owyhee. The king Tamaanmaah showed little interest at first, while islanders crowded the decks and marveled as a sailor rode one horse, proving their potential, though the king doubted the practical food value of horses.
