Why, it's the first place palefaces got strung up when found guilty of murdering Native Americans. Make no mistake, murder it was and most foul. Decent Hoosiers won't put up with that -- and didn't.
Real life is messy -- one murderer escaped; another was pardoned at the last minute. But justice generally prevailed.
It took the Spanish in New Orleans to catch up with Lewis Wetzel. He was another sociopathic piece of work.
ReplyDeleteInteresting, although some Indian killers were recognized as a threat to everyone, and killed by the closest sane men... without the law.
