I know for example that early European travelers to North America mentioned seeing very large numbers of sea turtles. Anything analogous for terrapins? I’ve never seen much of anything about aboriginal use, or observations by early Europeans of aboriginal use, or speculation about even earlier. Seems to me that terrapins were probably very very abundant, but I don’t see anything on that. Ideas?
