I don't understand why you choose to participate in a forum that is concerned with Afican American history on the western frontier. It is clear from your message that you did not see that these were two reviews of books dealing with the facts of African and Native American history. If you doubt the historical facts of Black slavery among the Five Civilized tribes I suggest you go to Afrigeneas African-Native American Genealogy Forum to learn of the present day ongoing concerns of Freedmen, the decendants of Cherokee, Choctaw, and Creek slaves.
