Manhattan Island was "Bought" for $24.00 worth of beads, from
Indians who thought it strange that anyone would ask to "Buy"
anything, but they took the beads!


The fact that the colonists were willing to pay anything of value implies
that they ecognized the origianl inhabitants claim to the land


The only thing Indians "Owned" was a franchise to build Casinos!!!


I have some questions about your history books: How many pictures are on
each page? 1, 4, or 8? Are they precolored, or do you have to use your
crayons? Is some of the text in balloons or is it all in the captions?
