In 1911, Bedtime stories were published in the newspaper for kids - and perhaps their parents.

One such column was called Daddy's Bedtime Story. This one was called "How Jackson Whipped the Indians." It's one-sided, erroneous and perpetuates a bias against Native Americans and focuses on the "us vs them" mentality of the day... so I felt it necessary to include it in this timeline.

"Daddy," said Jack one evening, "the boys are going to play Indians tomorrow after school, and I'm going to be the chief. Won't you please tell me a fine story with plenty of fights in it?"

          "Well," said daddy, "the only Indian story I have in mind is one in which all the Indians were killed, and that wouldn't be any good for you."
          "Yes, it would," put in Evelyn, "cause Jack could change his part from an Indian chief to an American general and win the game."
          "When you grow up, dearie," said daddy admiringly, "and become a suffragette, you'll make a splendid politician."
          "And I'll vote for her," said Jack.

          "Good boy!" said daddy. "And now we'll have the story. Away back in 1813, down in the state of Alabama the settlers land troubles with their Indian neighbors all the time. The red men burned their barns and stole their horses and kidnapped their children until the settlers had to beg for help from Washington. So General Jackson, with about 50 soldiers and two troops of friendly Indians, the Creeks and Cherokees, set out after the bad fellows."

          "They were made up of about 1000 warriors from the Oakfusie, Oakehoya, Eufauice and Hillabee tribes and they had a strong camp in a narrow strip of land that ran out into the Horseshow end of the Tallapoosa river. They had a heavy breastwork of logs about eight feet high on which the queer little cannons of those days had practically no effect.
          "So General Jackson had some of his men to get quietly around to the land end of the little peninsula, so that the enemy could not get away, and had some Cherokees swim across the river for their canoes.
          "And then when he had the enemy safely penned in, General Jackson moved up close to the barricade, smashed a part of it with the cannon and then ordered an assault. His soldiers, wild with rage over the stories of cruelty that the country folks told them, fought like demons, and the bad Indians fought just as fiercely, and not one of them begged for mercy.
          "Some tried to escape by swimming, but the friendly Indians got them, and finally about 200 survivors retreated to a brush heap, where the cannon could not reach them. So the brush was set on fire and they had to come out, and when night fell the hostiles had been wiped out to a man. General Jackson lost only thirty-two of his soldiers."
          "It was cruel," commented Evelyn.
          "But it had to be," said Jack.
          "Right, both of you," said daddy.

New York. – The sailing from here of a party of Navajo Indians for London part in the coronation parade in that city in June attracted considerable attention. The Indians, several braves, squaws and papooses, are from Colorado and will represent in the parade the period when Great Britain controlled the North American continent.
