The Path of the Gopatis

"The Path of the Gopatis" was put out in 1926 by The National Dairy Council. Gopatis-so men called their Leader in that distant day when history dawned. Priest, king, and warrior he must also be, but as "Gopatis" he was most revered. And justly so; for "Gopatis" signified "Lord of the Cows." What higher honor or more sacred trust could come to any man? From page 3: The National Dairy Council organization has made an exhaustive examination of historic and symbolic records relating to the dairy cow from the earliest ages to the present time. In so doing, we have gathered a great deal of material and information showing the important part the cow has always taken in the progress of the human race from the dawn of history.
