CLUCK CLUCK CLUCK

[Rootilda]

Because I have to google every damn thing, I thought this was interesting:

Officially, Buffalo Plaid or check is " plaid with large blocks formed by the intersection of two different color yarns, typically red and black." Hang on a minute . . . .isn' that the Rob Roy tartan? It most certainly is and it's said that it was introduced to north America by a descendant of Rob Roy - one 'Jock McCluskey' sometime lawman, bounty hunter, fur trapper, gold miner and eventually Indian trader.

In the Indians' eyes, McCluskey was no ordinary white man. Awed by his strength and size, he was hailed an invincible warrior. Both feared and revered, he was equally admired for his compassion. In the anti-Indian holocaust that followed Custer's Last Stand, he was a rare white man indeed who dared to champion their cause. His reasons were as simple as they were personal: Their persecution and plight mirrored his own family clan' descent from nobility to hunted criminals.
