I think your interpretation is right. It would probably be best not to make too much of the writer's motives in writing about it -- he may have been telling it because he learned something that day, or he may have been trying to make a gentle point for his friends and neighbors to learn from. But like you say, it does give an indication of the feelings that at least some people had about Indians. BTW, I recently came across one of your paintings on the web where I hadn't expected to find such a thing, then neglected to make a note of it so I could find an excuse to work it into a blog article. Now I don't recall where it was. Maybe I'll do better if I run across it again. Hi, Hal. I think your interpretation is right.

The story of the Indian women at the Mill in this posting gives one an idea of the feelings that exsisted between the races back then. It was shameful how the Natives were treated.
