Buffalo Hunt
- BUFFALO HUNT - A black ink and gray pencil drawing on an 11 x 14 size vellum paper. It appears in the TSR Gazetteer 14 instruction book for: "The Atruaghin Clans".
TSR not only produced board games of fantasy and horror, they also created games involving real historical people, nations, and time periods from the past. This game involved early American Indians.
I grew up watching cowboy and Indian movies, and it seems to me that in every one of them the Indians were portrayed as tribes of demonic devils wanting to scalp every white man . . .
But this is what Christopher Columbus wrote about the "Indians" he met on his first voyage, February 15, 1493; "after they had been assured and lost fear of us, they became so free of all their possessions that no one would believe it without having seen it. Of anything they have, if you ask them for it, they never say no; rather they invite you to share it, and show as much love as if they were giving their hearts" . . .
But then, on his third voyage to America Columbus wrote to Queen Isabella of Spain, October 18, 1498; "Your Highness have a World here from which great wealth can be drawn" . . .
That letter from Columbus to the Queen foretold that the American Indians never had a chance to keep their land, once the white man began to land on it's shores.
