This week we are headed back to pre-Revolutionary War America for a lesser known war. Chief Cornstalk of the Shawnee was a man of peace. Until he was pushed to violence. The British Government in control of the Colonies had been signing treaties with tribes all over the area of what today is New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia, West Virginia and Kentucky. The problem began when a treaty was signed by a tribe that gave over land that didn’t belong to them… The Brits started moving in on Shawnee land and raiding their villages and towns, there’s only so far a peaceful man can be pushed until he has to fight back. Cornstalk would take the fight to the greatest military power on the planet at the time but, since Shawnee isn’t a language spoken in a large area of the country I’m sure you can figure out how that went. This story is a tragedy that leads to a possible curse as weird as that sounds. This isn’t a two part episode but this is the lead into far more strange and tragic things next time. Enjoy.
