Hammock Edit #2


I added to the history of the hammock section, noting that Europeans were first introduced to hammocks after Christopher Columbus brought many back from Spain from islands in the present day Bahamas. I thought this was interesting because in all of the history I've learned about Columbus' voyages, it never would have crossed my mind that hammocks were one of the things that he returned to Europe with. Just another great example of good exchanges between cultures.
