Meeting the President’s Challenge? Publishing the results?? Being attacked by the Cherokees?? Apologizing to the Cherokee Nation?? What “kidding” is going on Jack?? Sounds like she has been “up front” during all her being attacked many times!! Jack do you believe the stories told by your parents and grand parents?
