Anyone got any written references of tomahawks actually being thrown as a weapon in fighting by frontiersman or natives during the frontier era ? Not Allen Eckert novels, Mel Gibson's "Patriot" movie, Spike Tv, or Walt Disney shows, etc. but real first hand written accounts.
I've been researching several white captives, adapted by Natives of my local river area for about 30 years now, so have found dozens of, recorded in writing, examples of people being struck with tomahawks during conflicts, executions, etc. but none of them being thrown.
