Read through the accounts of settlers on the frontier and whites captured by Indian tribes, from the early days of settlement up through the post-Civil War Indian wars, and you find that the Indians fought to win. They slaughtered their enemy and tortured their captives. Not a pretty picture. Their actions made the settlers fear them and react with fierce and brutal policies.

Hey, it was the times. Don't whitewash the truth, MSM, don't rewrite history to fit your PC distorted world view.

Being a history buff, I thought you might want to look this one up:

VIGILANTE DAYS AND WAYS. Nathaniel Pitt Langford. Copyright 1890, 1912. Original publisher A.C. McClurg & Co. and by permission, A.L. Burt Co.

This is a terrific book that sticks it to the consistent lie about vigilantes being the antithesis of civilization. The account acknowleges error and brutality in some cases, but in large, the need for vigilantism is a noble and proud component of American history. In fact, it may just be the embodiment of the realization of 'self-rule' so worshipped in the Western tradition. Let us not forget that the rise of lynch mobs in the reconstruction south and the KKK were Democrat institutions wrongly attributed to the right.

The use of the vigiante commitees was to stop and punish those for whom the law (and all measures of decency) held no boundaries in a land without just authority. Most on the frontier sought the peace and freedom to pursue their lives, but beyond the organized law (correctly interpreted from the bench), the predators and violent ruled the day - until the 'everyman' stepped up to the plate. A fascinating read and one sure antidote to the Leftist Hollywood demonization of law - justice - in the hands of a righteous people.
