Thusly, did Dennis respond to Jim's "Re: bread":
 JC>  Ever read a book by Richard White called: "The Middle Ground:

It'
 JC>  way too complex a time period and the issues involved to simply say it 
was

 DM> Jim, Never heard of the book, but I'll look for it.
Hello.  Hope you don't mind my jumping in, here.
I have read White's book, as well as others.   One that
I  would  highly recommend is Francis  Jennings'   "The
Invasion of America: Indians, Colonialism, and the Cant
of Conquest".
I  am not as knowledgeable about my heritage as I would
like  to be ( I am part Cherokee,  and spent most of my
life in Chicago) , but am learning much and have access
to  a  wealth of information.   I work in a  Library  &
Advanced  Research  Center  that focuses  on  materials
related to the indigenous populations of North America,
and a bit on South America, too.   Also, my studies are
completely  centered around Native American issues  and
teachings.   Please feel free to post me a message if I
can help you find anything.

... I think, therefore I tangent.
