Thanks for the book suggestion. In my cart now.
vannrox lives in China because he loves the USA so much. I view most of his postings as homesickness driven.
I'm reading that book now. Been reading a lot of journal type books from trappers and such lately.
Interesting perspectives. d:^)
Scalp dance is a great book. Did you know the John Wayne Classic, the searchers, was based on a true story? Get this one as well to read it - https://www.amazon.com/Frontier-Blood-Centennial-Association-University/dp/1603441093
While waiting for the book to,arrive, read the self penned narrative written by the real searcher and his captured niece here - https://archive.org/stream/rachelplummernar00park/rachelplummernar00park_djvu.txt
After reading this, youll never fall for that leftist, glorified ntrope about the noble, and moral Indian. Make no mistake about it, they were savages without any compassion or sympathy for life as we know it.
