Men marched asleep...deaf even to the hoots
Of tired, outstripped Five-Nines that dropped behind...
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.
Wilfred Owen 1893-1918

Sewee Indians of the Carolina Lowcountry in the 1690's decided to cut out the English merchants by taking their deer skins directly by canoe to Europe. A storm caught them at sea, those who did not drown were picked up and sold into slavery. Image courtesy of ©The Trustees of the British Museum
