At the time of my retirement, I was qualified for either doing history or licensure as a geologist.

What sources I could put hands on show that "about" 60,900 Native Americans were involved in the Removal of 1831-1842. [Thornton, 1990:]

The Choctaw Removal was first, commencing in the fall of 1831 under the terms of the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek. [Foreman, 1974:] The Choctaw, numbering about 12,000 [Foreman:] accounted for more than one-quarter of the total number of deaths - more than 4,000 of the total of 15,500. [Thornton, 1990; from Mooney, 1900:].

Now for the Weekend Update: I met my wife's high school history teacher. It seems that, yes, she did teach her students that the Revolutionary War was the result of the 1776 Declaration of Independence...and it began with the invasion of Washington, D.C in 1812.

In days past, when I hung out in the bars, dives and flop houses in the ports of the world - not that I was ever a drinking man - I would occasionally bet a fellow traveling man that he couldn't tell me who cut Samson's hair. I won quite a bit of money, because that old Hollywood profiteer Cecil B. DeMille had fed them what their preachers had not: a version of the story of Samson and Delilah that was imperfect. Of course, I always carried a Bible to prove my point....

The answer is at Judges 16, verse 19, if you're curious, and if you can make a few pennies that way, then, "Good on ya'"
