And there were some good Indian tribes as you will read about in Lori's book! But to fight against the colonists knowing my family was among them...that I couldn't have done. Course he was only 17 when taken, so the Indians became more his family than his real family, I suppose.Diana Flowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17127629740742628849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-11652202670676550032015-04-04T18:59:50.637-04:002015-04-04T18:59:50.637-04:00Thanks for all the wonderful comments!

I know there have been many vicious Indians, caring nothing about the whites. But, there were also friendly ones - think Thanksgiving - and many instances of them being abused and forced off land that they inhabited first. I'm an equality person - feeling all people should be treated equally, unfortunately, inequality existed (and still does), not only among the Indians - but among numerous sectors of people. My father's first cousin was a missionary who devoted his entire life to working with the Seminoles in Florida. I relate to your feeling of wanting to reread "The Wood's Edge" - just wish I had a copy so I could read it for the first time!! Oh, well - good things come to those you wait, right, LOL??

Remember when Patty Hearst got kidnapped and ending up robbing banks with her kidnappers? They tortured her (which I'm sure happened to Blue Jacket at first) and break down their minds that way and then it's almost like a "if you can't beat them join them" thing. But since he was enamored of them when he was young, I don't know.... All this Indian talk is making me want to reread this book! lolDiana Flowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17127629740742628849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-18979696641670869762015-04-03T23:58:05.322-04:002015-04-03T23:58:05.322-04:00According to everything I've read, he loved th...According to everything I've read, he loved the woods, admired the freedom the Shawnee had and vowed to live that kind of lifestyle when he became an adult, having learned their language from a trapper who was a friend to the Shawnee, when was young. He was supposedly captured at the age of 17 years, becoming a well-known chief - leading battles against settlers overtaking the Shawnee land in Ohio. He killed his own brother in one battle, the one for whose escape he bargained - with the Shawnee when they were captured. When it was finally acknowledged there was no way for the Shawnee to win the battle against the settlers, a treaty was signed - which lasted 15 years. Blue Jacket died around that time, Tecumseh then took up the battle for the Shawnee land.
