The Warriors: Part 2: Imbeciles and Murderers - Paperback

The true story of teenager Lewis Wetzel, settler's son living on the frontier during the Revolutionary War. The enemy is not the British, but their proxy, the Shawnee, Wyandot and Mingo warriors who are trying to drive out the settler invaders. Lewis becomes a hero because the militia can't protect his neighbors, but he can, as he learns to become a one-man army during a time of one-shot muskets. The subtitle refers to the militia at the time, and General George Washington's view of them. This is also the time when the 2nd Amendment was written and sheds light on why that amendment was worded the way it was. This book continues the prequel of Lewis's capture and escape from an Indian raiding party, becoming a hero to many, and a threat to others. The intent of this book is to inform young readers of the history of the American Indian in a crucial and often forgotten period of their history as they struggled against forces beyond anyone's control.
