example in her book, Why Is a Spy Called a Mole?
Question for the day, folks:
Why does she paint Tanacharison standing behind Washington?
Answer:
Tanacharison was Chief of the Seneca Tribes, including the Mohawks
He was Washington's go-to guy in the French Indian War
Washington learned to fight like an Indian Warrior.
Even had and signed with an Indian name: CONOTOCAURIUS given to him by the Iroquois Native Americans
Best horseman in the Colonies along with MR. BILLY LEE
TANACHARISON is standing behind WASHINGTON because he was a mentor and was killed before the Revolution. Tanacharason spoke French because he was kidnapped by the French as a baby.
Therefore Washington is wearing Colonial uniform as Commander-in-chief but Tanacharison
is a man he revered. Remember Washington's Indian background surprised and shocked the
British Red Coats, marching in lines while the Americans fought behind trees. The English
had to change their ways or they would lose in Yorktown. Look it up.
Well, lesson over. Bet you didn't get this in school. Time for me to jump down my Mole Hole.
