The ‘fatal walk’ was described in The Frontiersman by Allen Eckert as the grisly end of Simon Kenton’s enemy, Jacob Greathouse and his wife, at the hands of Indians for Greathouse’s ill treatment of random squaws and papooses.

Didn’t Hannibal Lector perform a ‘blood eagle’ on one of the prison guards in the fictional ‘Silence of the Lambs’?

Comanches were more dedicated and it gave the women something to do besides buffalo hides and being slapped around

A good time had by all

Tie the man or woman down.

Mutilate genitals and breasts too if a woman...

A light unlethal scalping of man or woman

Embers shoved up the vagina and or rectum

Tongue cut out

Shoulders and torso peeled

The the real fun starts

A small fire under hands and feet one at a time to burn them into tallow charcoal slowly and excruciatingly painful

Then if you’re tough you get speared or throat cut ...mercy

If not evisceration .....

We’re talking days maybe a week as they work to keep you alive

Of yes....women were raped and sodomized repeatedly for days prior till they were handed over to be tortured by the women

I’ll take the Vikings ...

Read Texas Rangers memoirs....it’s why they were not big on prisoners ...the Rangers thst is

Comanches loved prisoners...like free HBO

Not a bed time story ... the Vikings were really cruel they had to be less and they would not have been feared - then there is the continues modern Islamic practice Seen in ‘modern’ Syria of staking an individual down, opening the stomach, inserting burning coals and adding more fuel ... or castration of young boys using random piece of glass without anesthetic same for girls in the total removal of the labia by the same methods.

You need to pay a visit to a walk-through “Ripley’s Believe It Or Not” exposition on torture and the instruments used, and the results obtained by the showing - if you can find one in this day and age of dumb down to lowest common denominator, wherein, if it is not seen on TV, it never happened.

Recently, I told the true story of the Tiananmen Massacre: how the Chinese made 8000 plus people disappear from the official body count and the lady, hearing the tale, like the unbelieving historians, was horrified beyond words and refused to believe that it actually happened.

The Eckert series of books on the early frontier are fascinating. The genocide commuted by both “sides” was astound.

The settlers were no slackers, either. This is the mild stuff:

The pillory and the stocks became common in England during mid 14th century to stop farmers from increasing the prices over their vegetables during the Black Death. Later, they were used to control vagabonds, beggars and drunks. Often the pillory or stocks were just a part of a series of punishments, sometimes combined with branding, flogging or limbs cut off. Most European countries abolished pillories by the middle of the 19th century, as did most American states. The stocks, however, were never formally abolished[3]. Offenders were sentenced to the pillory for treason, sedition, arson, blasphemy, witchcraft, perjury, wife beating, adultery, forgery, coin clipping, dice cogging, slandering, conjuring, fortune-telling and drunkenness, among other offenses.
The pillory (also known as “stretch-neck”) stood in the main squares of English settlements in North America. The punishment could be standing for hours (for how many depended on the crime) with both arms and head imprisoned or/and have one ear nailed to the wood[4].

Weak minded people can have their heads turned.

Breathing is a purely mechanical process. Open the pleural cavity and contraction of the diaphragm no longer inflates the lungs. Unconsciousness comes within minutes and death by hypoxia shortly after.

The Vikings, being the barbarians they were, may have delighted in hacking the corpse into a grisly sculpture, but the victim was dead long before the task was complete.

I always thought this stuff sounded a bit like propaganda. Sort of like how people think homosexuality was more prevalent in ancient Rome than it really was, because accusations of sexual deviancy were a common political insult.
