It was not until about 1815 that an enterprising New Englander, John Palmer Parker, was allowed by King Kamehameha I to use his new, American - made musket to begin shooting some of the cattle that were now numerous and a nuisance on the Big Island.
Ap 1815. gadu kāds uzņēmīgs ieceļotājs no Jaunanglijas, vārdā Džons Palmers Pārkers, saņēma karaļa Kamehamehas I atļauju un sāka medīt savvaļas govis ar savu jauno, Amerikā ražoto musketi.
