In the October issue of "Cowboys and Indians" there is an article about one of our favorite "Mohicans". I haven't had time to read it in its entirety but from what I've read so far, Mr. Means is quite a colorful guy. There are some unique looking photos along with it. I don't have a scanner but I would be happy to type the article if anyone is interested. BTW, it's the issue with Michael Keaton on the front, who looks mighty fine in that cowboy git-up hisownself.

Well, it's not that the NA's were any better or worse than the British or the French. All were equally brutal. So no one should think they were above that sort of thing. The fact is that was a different time, and place, and a different culture. You can't judge 18th century people by 20th century standards, NA or otherwise. I think that you have to keep this in mind when reading about the atrocities of those times, and I also think that no one was innocent.

You're being too kind, Bea. For a man of such articulate wisdom, obvious intelligence, and [sometimes] personable nature, he sure does blow it when it comes to certain topics. He just can't seem accept the truth! It's like the nutcracker thing ... oh, never mind!

There?s been no instance in recorded white man?s history where the Indians have ever burned anyone at the stake. Or ever tortured anyone.
I believe old Russ had better do a little more reading before he does a little more talking. But he did say burned. Maybe he makes a distinction between "burned" and "slow roasted". I doubt that the victims did.
