Oh Philip was cruel to the Plains Indians? The same ones that slaughtered Queapama of the Wasco after inviting him to a peace talk? Yeah, cry me a fucking river.

Discover doesn’t mean what it used to mean!

Andrew Wiley came over thru whispering pines in 1843 and followed indian trails to the Willamette Valley. Seems like the indians gave Williamson a bum steer set of directions, lol
