TAYLOR COUNTY TRIBUNE
Taylor County, Iowa
August 10, 1860
A Large Drove
We noticed a drove of cattle pass through this place today, on their way east, numbering seven hundred and fifty head. They were stock cattle and appear to be of the Mexican breed, and will doubtless be fattened, either in this State, or in Illinois, before being driven to an eastern market. Osceola (Iowa) Courier.
