RE: Captured By The Apache: A Treaty Is Made And The Army Stays At The Village

Howdy Janton, I must say this story is nothing like I saw or read before and most people have no clue about it. I mean yes, everybody knows the history, but not in such detail. But I honestly don't think whites no matter how bad they were would let Indian child starve to death like that. They would most likely put him in to reservation, which is not an ideal, but much better. I am not trying to say that the whites were a lot better, but I don't think they were such a savages towards children.

Howdy Miss Lena! Thanks, I hope it's very different of a story, that makes it more interesting and yes it's a view that few white people ever saw. I hope you're right about the whites but I have no idea, probably varied so greatly that it just depended on who you talked to.
For instance people who had their homesteads attacked with family members killed or captured might be pretty vicious.

That's for sure Janton. Either way, it was a hell on earth!!!

yes Ma'am. In the Western territories. From the Mississippi to the East coast it was civilized like Europe! lol..well maybe not that civilized!

Oh I see! How interesting.
