(back) 66Ibid. Author's note: Ward may have been unfamiliar with the numerous cases of how well the indigenous people actually adapted tot the settled way of life when this was more gradually and peacefully introduced. He raises the appropriate question of "whether a policy of conciliation would have been possible [given] the two conflicting civilizations and the lust of the settlers,"concluding that the struggle was one of "survival of the fittest."

(back) 70Quoted in: Allan W. Eckert. Gateway To Empire (New York: Little, Brown & Company, 1983), pp.271-271. Author's Note: A 1956 bography of Tecumseh by Glenn Tucker (New York: Bobbs-Merrill company, Inc., p.82), in an apparent contradiction, observes that "not one sentence of this first speech has been preserved. The interpreter at Urbana was a French Canadian named Dechouset. He confessed that Tecumseh soared into such lofty flights that, though he knew Shawnee as well as his native French, it was beyond him to carry over the word pictures and conceptions into another language." Eckert's research is, however, definitively annotated.
