no American Military person is known to have used Biological Warfare against the Indians
I can vaguely remember some B-Western movies and some tv programs from decades ago that used the theme that infected blankets and/or grains were given to some Indian groups. Some times the villain was an unscrupulous trader; other times, cavalry. [Maybe Churchill used Hollywood as his resource. ]

Churchill wrote pages and pages about how Hollywood paints indians in a bad light, and ANY movie about indians, even with Indian actors, was wrong...
That is, until his master, Russell Means, acted in a few movies... then all of a sudden Disney's Pocohantas is the Holy Grail of Indian Movies... sigh...
