Using Franklin’s assertions as a lens, compare his view with the view expressed in any one (1) of these other three readings: John Smith, “What Happened until the First Supply”, Cusik “Iroquois Creation Story”, or Tecumseh “Speech to the Osages”. Be sure to use specific details from the texts (paraphrasing or referring to the events is fine).
Your entry should be 450-500 words, and it should be edited with some care. Please ensure that any quotes (or other outside material) you include are less than 10% of your submission.
