About Me
- Mark
- I'm a professional historian, though my real passions lie in the art of photography and the freedom of travel. Armed with camera and backpack, I've visited all fifty of the US states ... and a total of 65 countries on six continents.
In a zoo or a pet? The kids and I were looking at the picture and noticed the chain, and the fence in the background. They were intrigued by his ears!
ReplyDeleteWell, Brimstone Hill is an old fort ... a tourist attraction. The kid would go there with his monkey and try to get tourists to give him a buck or two in exchange for letting them take a picture. (And I did, I confess.) So I doubt he was really a pet -- more a means of earning a living. I hope he didn't have too bad a life, though ...
