[at-l] Cold Questions

[woodelf@juno.com (woodelf@juno.com)]

Actually if my memory of history is correct. George Rogers Clark asked
this question during a hunting trip in Kentucky to an Indian chief he was
friends with . This chief, who's name escapes me later joined Chief
Tecumseh's confederation of tribes. They backed the British in 1812,
something about broken promises. How unlike us.
