To: Phil B., Chicago "David, man, take a pill or something...its just a nice quote, nothing more." WHAT? Phil B., do you think that Tecumseh was something like Paul Bunyan or Johnny Appleseed or some Disneyesce creation.? This is not a "nice quote". His is a statement that defines a nation of people and is "on record". This is the written word of a man speaking from pure conviction. and not afraid of pain or death. Now, today, what would you fellows think about doing if some savage invaded your town and burned your home and destroyed your food and killed a few of the kids and teenage men; then a couple of months later they return and burn your new village and destroy your new home and kill a few more of your young sons and destroy your food again. Could you or would you muster up the courage to fight back? There is no way that you fellows can justify your demeaning statements towards Tecumseh. He was THE leader of his time for his people (I mean the Confederation). No one could come close to him (certainly no one of the present day) in his natural wisdom and innate courage, and if you guys think that you are so superior to Tecumseh, you are flat out goofy.
