- W2260486571 abstract "Hawaii conjures up visions of pineapples, palm trees, beaches, and surf rather than cactus, cowboys, grasses, round-ups, and the things associated with the cattlemen's frontier. Nevertheless, islanders were actively engaged in a thriving cattle business at the time Texas was fighting for independence from Mexico. John Palmer Parker, a New England sailor who came to Hawaii in 1808, was the most important pioneer in this early trade. For fifty years he was involved with the thousands of cattle that ranged Hawaii. As time passed he shifted from hunting wild cows with a gun to raising blooded cattle in fenced paddocks. When Parker died in 1868 he left to his heirs the bigger part of a ranch that today consists of more than 300,000 acres of incomparable grazing land and a herd of fifty thousand of the finest Hereford cattle. It is interesting to note in tracing Parker's rise from financial obscurity that the factors enabling him to become a cattle king were identical to those that surrounded the emergence of the many cattle kings in the Trans-Mississippi West. These men were able to accumulate vast land holdings and great herds of cattle without using inherited money or extensive grants from the government as a special edge. There is a common misconception held by island people that the native king gave Parker a huge grant of land and from this he developed his vast ranch. Nothing could be further from the truth. Parker never received any notable privileges or favors from the ruling hierarchy of the island. During the first decade after his arrival he married a Hawaiian girl and developed a small farm along the northeast coast of the island near the present town of Kohala. From here he often made trips inland to hunt wild cattle. Then after spending his early years hunting, fishing, and farming at a subsistence level, he established himself as an inland trader and through frugality and hard work was able to accumulate the capital and experience which made it possible to put together his ranch. Like Charles Goodnight, John W. Iliff, Conrad Kohrs, George W. Littlefield, Nelson Story, Shanghai Pierce, Dudley H. Synder, and other famous" @default.
