RE: Captured By The Apache: The Raiding Party Continues
Morning janton, this was a bit of hard post to read, such cruelty to us and I suppose the Apaches thought otherwise.

Howdy today angiemitchell! yes Ma'am it is hard to think about but it was a deadly and dangerous
time. At least the Apache were taking the kids alive to bring them up as their own.
Yes, a good point. Doesn't say much for the white man does it?
howdy angiemichell! no, it doesn't say much for the white man at all! Our race just wanted them all gone, their entire civilization. We wanted the rich farm and ranchlands that they were on, we wanted the great forested lands that they
occupied, we wanted the land next to their beautiful lakes and rivers.
So we drove them off and took the lands that they had called home for at least a thousand years and put them on barren, worthless land that couldn't even be farmed in most cases.
