I was sure I would find "Run Of The Arrow" available to see from Netflix, but lo and behold, no luck there. I really would like to see this film now...
We get no TV through the air here, us being in the valley of the Illinois River. We're not far from Starved Rock, right on the river, where one tribe had another trapped up top o' the rock---and starved them out. That is an Illinois State Park now. Marquette and Joliet said a mass for the Indians there in the 1600s. And explorers La Salle and Tonti had a fort here. Fascinating stuff. A farmer friend of mine, Jack Mills, has an absolutely HUGE collection of arrowheads from years of plowing his fields and watching for when they get turned up by the tines. He lives right where the Indian town of over 500 dwellings was---right near where the mass was said.

And we are 90 miles S.W. of Chicago. We have nothing like the span of European or Asian history, but 18th and 19th century life here in the U.S.A. sure was a whole other ball game from what it is now.
