Cornplanter

The chaplains are the oldest branch of the service.

Eleven years later, with the general now the president, a Seneca leader named Cornplanter stands in front of him and says the quiet part with a courtesy that shames the centuries.

When your army entered our country, he tells Washington, we called you the town destroyer, and to this day, when that name is heard, our women look behind them and turn pale, and our children cling close to the necks of their mothers.

He says this to the man's face in his own house.
