Spin

[edit]

A five year old girl is abducted from her family along with another member of the household. A third is shot dead. Nevertheless;

"At a time when the region was a hotbed of constant warfare between the two groups, Tuck Horse’s humanity (my emphasis) toward the Slocum’s 5-year-old daughter contradicts the myth of local Indians as ruthless savages who preyed upon the Connecticut Yankees and Pennamites who settled on their land"

Does no-one else see spin here?

Almost all of this article was added Feb. 5, 2006 in one big chunk.

[edit]

Since it is unreferenced, where did the one big chunk come from? Mattisse 16:24, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

4 or 5 years old

[edit]

It says she was 4 when taken in the opening and then later says she was 5. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.20.220.61 (talk) 01:06, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
