An Early Chapter in the American Sheep Industry

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  24 July 2012

Extract

Up to the close of the Napoleonic Wars, sheep raising, in the United States, was of slight importance. Because of the small population, the demand for mutton was easily supplied. Most of the woolen goods used was imported from England. What little was manufactured in this country was made of wool imported from Spain.
