The extent of brutal guerrila warfare that went on in the midwest has been largely forgotten by history. Everybody fought in the woods and swamps of the midwest. British, french, spanish, American, indian, you name it.

See tagline.

Before Mel Gibson's fall from Grace, he made "The Patriot" which is a fine movie about the kind of war that was fought in America back then. It wasn't what the Europeans were used to.

The Indians were not nice people. But we learned to adopt their ways -- much to their regret.
