@caitlinrgreen @barbarikon TWEET #1 Yes. Old libraries are incredible. Short anecdote follows. While working at Stanford Law Library....
@caitlinrgreen @barbarikon TWEET #2 I found the Pilgrim logs from 1627 talking about challenges converting heathen Indians.
@caitlinrgreen @barbarikon TWEET #3. They broke it down commandment by commandment, saying that they committed adultery (shame, shame),etc
@caitlinrgreen @barbarikon TWEET #4 But as for observing the Sabbath, the Indians DID follow that and never worked on Sundays.
@caitlinrgreen @barbarikon TWEET #5 This pleased the Pilgrims, but they did note that, in fact, this was NOT because of any virtue.....
@caitlinrgreen @barbarikon TWEET #6 RATHER, it was due to Indians rarely worked at all, almost always partying, relaxing & fornicating! Ha!
@caitlinrgreen @barbarikon A hilarious discovery indeed, within the deepest confines of the Stanford Law Library.
@mjd1735 @barbarikon That's marvellous :)
