Something for you primitive guys to ponder on
Ranger B:
It has been said that the Kentucky natives were a softer breed of Injun, much like the men that live there today. They not only didn't have pine but the small, gentle, womanish hands of those fellars made it difficult to make pitch so then ventured south to Tennessee where a much tougher breed of Injun lived. In Tennessee the Indians didn't need trees at all. They chewed tobacco and it was said that they were so tough that they could chew a little tobacco and spit it on a rock in the sun. Mix a little ground up sinew in it and stir it with a stick - man made pitch. The Kentucky softies as they were known would trade skins and later toilet paper which they invented due to their delicate backsides for the pitch. And that's how it all happened. ;D ;D ;D
