Champlain Attacks Iroquois

If you're going to Pearl Harbor someone, finish the job. The year is 1610. Francis Parkman wrote, "Judged by the standard of Indian war, a heavy blow had been struck on the common enemy. Here were hundreds of assembled warriors; yet none thought of following up their success. Elated with unexpected fortune, they danced and sang; then loaded their canoes, hung their scalps on poles, broke up their camps, and set out triumphant for their homes." The Iroquois were to dog French Canada for the next century and a half and to the Plain of Abraham.

Japan's Very First Emperor

Jimmu lived around 660 BC. This was before Japanese civilization could write so his origins and reign are half buried in legends. Like King David of Israel, he is alleged to have composed poems or songs (psalms).
