daylia, I read somewhere that the only treaty that was *not* broken between the white man and the native people on this continent (or maybe just what became the United States(?) was the one that William Penn made.

As for surprising lactators, I have read that even 'old' women will lactate when nursed long enough. I know that it's true in the canine world- my old poodle adopted a sickly kitten. In due course, she gave milk and the kitten thrived. Amazed me. I had to break a full grown cat of the nursing habit eventually but that's another story.
