(rshsdepot) Bull's Head Revisited

["Paul Luchter" <luckyshow_@_mindspring.com>]

2/7/1854
New-York Cattle Market

FOR REEVES at the WASHINGTON DROVE YARDS, corner of Fourth-avenue and Forty-fourth-street, and at CHAMBERLAIN'S Hudson River Bull's
Head, foot of Robinson-street. For Cows and Calves, Sheep and Lambs, (and also for Beeves) at BROWNING'S in Sixth st., near Third
avenue, and also at O'BRIEN'S Central Bull's Head, (for Cows, Calves and Beeves only) No. 9 Sixth-st....

Later they call it the Hudson River Bull's Head

The Harlem Railroad brought in most of the sheep and lambs, but the Erie Railroad brought in the most beef, just ahead of the Hudson
River RR

So a Bull's Head was (is?) a term for the cattle and in Manhattan this was on the Hudson...but there is no Robinson Street in
Manhattan now....ah, Robinson Street was renamed Park Place in the late 1800's.

wow, that's down near City Hall.. as a matter of fact it is or was under the World Trade Center, now that is pretty interesting huh?
