Note: I don't claim to be an expert on early American colonial and settler life and the conflict with Native Americans.  If my history is at all off, alert me to it and understand that I am seeking to make a comparison with the current conflict, not to demean, diminish or alter history to my own ends.   In the early period of American history, colonialists and settlers had two different types of Native Americans to deal with.

Fearless by Eric Blehm recounts the story of Adam Brown who came out of the womb a fighter. He was an individual that ran headlong into anything and everything. With a can-do spirit, Adam climbed his way up to the elite of America’s warriors. Respectful, compassionate, funny, Brown was a very likable person. Two women had a profound impact on him. One brought him to incredible lows that changed him dramatically. Another was God’s gift to him, giving him stability, courage, a reason to live and return home. Coming from Arkansas, Adam was thoroughly country. If you didn’t already know he became a Navy SEAL, his escapades would make you laugh, cringe and worry whether this boy would ever make it to adulthood. Yet make it he did and then some. Despite setbacks, Adam succeeded well beyond any preconceived ideas of his abilities. His fighting spirit caused him to achieve things he should never have been able to acquire. Not only did he help himself but whatever team he ...
