Red & White Oak Identification

[Tom]

I was left this question on a private message by one of our new members.  Does anybody have and Idea of it's origin?

between red and white oaks.
    
     The "Red man" used bows and arrows.
            (red oak--pointed leaf tips like arrows)

The "White man"  used guns and bullets.
       (white oak---rounded leaf tips like bullets)

  I am trying to find out where this originated from; any ideas?

Tom,
I got no idea.  I do recall that the saying was in a Boy Scout manual, but I'm not sure if that's the origin or not.

Don't hear it too much anymore, too un-politically correct. :
