I wish I had not read it.
I’d forgotten just how barbaric such tribes were back then.
But then, human being still are quite capable of treating each other in horrible ways.
The difference tween these Indians back then and MS13 gang members today, stemming from Guatamala, and now in parts of the USA, is that the MS13 gang members tend to hide from the law. The Indians of that place and of that time had nothing to flee from except the occassional Colonist, who carried weapons not known to these Indians.
I have heard of the barbarity of many Native American tribes.
So much for the peaceful, happy savages myth.
Man without God, in the hands of Satan are neither peaceful not happy, no matter what the race or nationality.
Gruesome and cruel indeed
Thank you for sharing
It got better for them after the pale faces showed u? Overwhelmingly the Indian tribes were destroyed by the blessings of civilization and what was called Christianity. The first physically destroyed the Indian tribes the latter destroyed the Indians psychologically. We pale faces can enjoy the fruits of our victory without a lot of sanctimonious psalm singing and self congratulation on our great virtuousness.
Stories such as this one is why I am an adamant supporter of the 2nd amendment. The invention of gun power and the rifled barrel created a weapon that allows the individual to have the ability to repel the mob.
What an amazing story. The Indian Pierre was given great strength and comfort by his faith and became a great witness for Christianity to his fellow prisoner and to his enemy.
We are not superior to these depraved, ignorant savages who knew nothing but evil. Our society participants in the brutal killing of thousands of innocent children every day despite having knowledge of Christianity and Western Civilization. Our society knows good and evil but still chooses evil.
Bump for later.
