Mike,
Alonzo Deleon reported upont the discovery of LaSalle's Ft. St. Louis that the only thing that had survived in the environs were the frenchman's hogs!! They had all gone native!
Later, During the deerskin trade deer carcasses rotted while the French lived off their hogs Bob

"Come, shall we go and kill us venison? And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools, Being native burghers of this desert city, Should in their own confines with forked heads Have their round haunches gored."
