Progress and pollution in a Cherokee tale of fallouts
The article traces a fable about Cherokee and Creek chiefs rejecting poisoned arrows and linking it to modern fallout from nuclear weapons. It contrasts ancient warfare with industrial progress, noting missionaries translating the Bible and advances in weapons, culminating in the idea of a theoretically clean bomb and a playful poke at an “X Miles Club” for protection from fallout risks.
