One of the things that seems remarkably absent in this discussion of Asians in America during the Revolutionary War is the scientific foundings that allege all "Native Americans"--north and south, derive from Asians who crossed the Bering Straight eons ago. I'm guessing, if truth be known, Asians have been in this country long before the Revolutionary War. http://college.hmco.com/history/readerscomp/naind/html/na_003700_beringstrait.htm http://www.washington.edu/burkemuseum/kman/ancientpeoples.htm http://pandora.cii.wwu.edu/vajda/ea210/SiberianOriginsNA.htm Indigo Nights [log in to unmask] ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
