Hello Mike - 

CA>> It wasn't until I stopped at a roadside park and read the
CA>> inscription on a statue of Chief Pontiac that I discovered
CA>> we had attempted to invade Canada and his tribe combined
CA>> with the Canadians drove us back. (apprently we tried more
CA>> than once?) 

MR> It's the wrong war. The war where the USA attempted to
MR> invade Canada was the War of 1812 and the chief who pushed
MR> back the invasion was Tecumseh. 

There is a small lawn mower engine named Tecumseh produced in
Wisconsin last I knew. :-) 

MR> (BTW, Canadians retaliated and burned the White House to
MR> the ground.) 

Do you think we could convince them to do it one more time? 

MR> Chief Pontiac was involved in the French-Indian Wars of
MR> 1734 which faught with the French to push back the English
MR> forces around Detroit. Close... 

I do preface my comments with the admission that I was terrible
at memorizing names/dates of historical events and really
wasn't told _all_ of the history of the Americas. 

Thanks for the clarification. I will _try_ to remember. :-)
