Quick autistic aside: there's only one documented instance of diseased blankets being considered for use against indians: the seige of Fort Pitt, fully 80 years before smallpox epidemics gutted several tribes.
The blankets were a desperate ploy by the English to break the seige before the indians slaughtered the entire fort, as they had already done to other forts in the area.
The blankets didn't work as intended because respiratory diseases don't spread that way.
Don't poxes actually work that way? Contact with scabs would work. I do agree that there isn't actually any real historical evidence and I don't think it would work that well anyway.
Hence the implied questioning hesitation. But thank you for posting that information. I knew I had heard stuff like that before but couldn't tell exactly what it was so it's good to see it.
