Show Indians Had No Horses The Indians had dogs but not horses before the white men came. The Indian In-dian dog was little different from the tamed wolf from which it is supposed to have sprung. Eskimos were using dogs for transportation when first white men arrived. Though fossil of the forerunner of the horse have been found In America, it Is now generally believed that these animals became extinct many thousands of years aso and that all horses used by the Indians In-dians were descendants of Spanish horses. Cortez brought horses to Mexico Mex-ico and De Soto is known to have abandoned a large number of horses near the Texas border. |
