Spin

A five year old girl is abducted from her family along with another member of the household. A third is shot dead. Nevertheless;

"At a time when the region was a hotbed of constant warfare between the two groups, Tuck Horse’s humanity (my emphasis) toward the Slocum’s 5-year-old daughter contradicts the myth of local Indians as ruthless savages who preyed upon the Connecticut Yankees and Pennamites who settled on their land"

Does no-one else see spin here?

Almost all of this article was added Feb. 5, 2006 in one big chunk.

Since it is unreferenced, where did the one big chunk come from? Mattisse 16:24, 25 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

It says she was 4 when taken in the opening and then later says she was 5. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.20.220.61 (talk) 01:06, 23 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
