"...the first cowboys lived in Mexico and the Caribbean, and most of them were Black. That’s the conclusion of a recent analysis of DNA from 400-year-old cow bones excavated on the island of Hispaniola and at sites in Mexico. The work, published in Scientific Reports, also provides evidence that African cattle made it to the Americas at least a century earlier than historians realized. The timing of these African imports—to the early 1600s—suggests the growth of cattle herds may have been connected to the slave trade, says study author Nicolas Delsol, an archaeozoologist at the Florida Museum of Natural History. “It changes the whole perspective on the mythical figure of the cowboy, which has been whitewashed over the 20th century.”

Masked Murderers #1 - The Black Panther Series - Book 1 (Complete Story) (on Wattpad) https://www.wattpad.com/1468910977-masked-murderers-1-the-black-panther-series-book-1?utm_source=web&utm_medium=tumblr&utm_content=share_reading&wp_uname=Pieterhb Leon, a young boy, had to grow up quickly, mastering survival skills in the harsh wilderness. By the age of fourteen, he was already an expert with a bow and arrow, hunting jackals and leopards with ease. As the only child of his parents, he found solace and amusement in the fields, where his hands became adept at taming young oxen. His life took a tragic turn when his mother died just before the First War of Freedom, during which the Basothos attacked several remote farms. Leon's father, driven by grief, became an adventurer, and together they ventured deeper into the uncharted Transvaal. Lettie, a girl with soft, wavy blonde hair and blue eyes as bright as the Lowveld sky, also faced tragedy when the Basothos killed her parents. Leon's father took her in, and she grew up alongside Leon, becoming a sixteen-year-old Boer girl. One fateful night, cattle thieves raided their homestead, killing Leon's father and kidnapping Lettie. Devastated and driven by a desire for vengeance, Leon vowed to track down the murderers. In his quest for justice, Leon killed a leopard for survival and crafted a mask from its skin, creating the fearsome persona of the Black Leopard. This terrifying figure struck fear into the hearts of the thieves, giving Leon the upper hand as he pursued them. However, his journey was fraught with challenges, and he had to endure many hardships to ensure that justice was served and that those who wronged him and his loved ones paid the price.
