These tough, rangy animals sported horns with a spread of as much as eight feet. At first they were hunted only for their hides since there was no way to get them to markets in the East. With the building of the Transcontinental Railroads, it became possible to transport these cattle to the eastern market that had developed a taste for beef at a time when the effects of war had depleted eastern herds.

The Aztecs and the Mayans were two ancient societies in Meso America. The Mayan civilization goes back to about 1800-2000 BC and was in decline when the Spaniards arrived whereas the Aztecs were a much younger civilization that was at its peak when Cortez arrived. The Aztecs were located mostly in what is now Mexico whereas the Mayans were more in what is now Guatemala and Honduras. Both the Aztecs and Mayans believed in human sacrifice but the Aztecs did this much more than the Mayans. While the Aztecs layed out their cities according to celestial observances, the Mayans were more scientific and developed a calendar very similar to our modern calendar.
