Red & White Oak Identification
« on: December 17, 2001, 11:29:25 am »
I was left this question on a private message by one of our new members.  Does anybody have and Idea of it's origin?

between red and white oaks.
   
    The "Red man" used bows and arrows.
           (red oak--pointed leaf tips like arrows)

The "White man"  used guns and bullets.
      (white oak---rounded leaf tips like bullets)

 I am trying to find out where this originated from; any ideas?

Tom,
I got no idea.  I do recall that the saying was in a Boy Scout manual, but I'm not sure if that's the origin or not.

Don't hear it too much anymore, too un-politically correct. ::)
