I'm sure that the parts of Europe where it was forbidden to hunt deer would have loved all that imported deerskin! Although maybe with that much being imported, deer would have been huntable again? And imagine cochineal and cotton being available centuries earlier, not to mention chocolate.... The poor beaver would probably be extinct by now, though. > Hey - by the 14th-15th centuries there could easily have been more > colonists/colonies from more European countries.

Yeah, I don't really think that British colonies would have taken such a strong hold--British immigrants, yeah, but not colonies. I think there may have been some successful Spanish colonies in the south still, though. -E House _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
