"What IS true is that every Comanche boy had been playing with/making bows and arrows since about the time they could walk."

Interesting note concerning the SE tribes referencing the above statement. And knowing many of these folk ended up in these parts. In 1790 a Methodist minister among the Choctaw in Northern Mississippi wrote in his memoirs that he never met a single Choctaw male who still knew how to use a bow and arrow. That same year the Choctaw council purchased 20,000 pair of buckle shoes for the tribe.

It is often overlooked but by the 1830's, having heeded the words of Tommy Jefferson, many in the five civilized tribes had become more "white" than many of their "white" neighbors..... Unfortunately for them the Supreme Court of the United States had no standing army...
