Strana 349 - I come to beg you to send for the women and children of the war party, who are now starving in the woods. Their fields...
Strana 418 - ... Tory. Certain it is that he associates mostly with these people." On leaving the Cemetery, we called upon the venerable Eneas Munson, MD, a vigorous relic of the Revolution. He is still living (January, 1850), more than eighty-six years of age.
Strana 246 - Your blood is white. You have taken my talk, and the sticks, and the wampum, and the hatchet, but you do not mean to fight. I know the reason. You do not believe the Great Spirit has sent me. You shall know. I leave Tuckhabatchee directly, and shall go straight to Detroit. When I arrive there, I will stamp on the ground with my foot and shake down every house in Tuckhabatchee.
Strana 349 - I am now done fighting. The Red Sticks are nearly all killed. If I could fight you any longer, I would most heartily do so. Send for the women and children. They never did you any harm. But kill me, if the white people want it done.
Strana 190 - Abram Mordecai was a queer fellow. He traded extensively with the Indians, exchanging his goods for pink-root, hickory-nut oil, and peltries of all kinds.
Strana 292 - You know Tecumseh. He is a bad man. He came through our nation, but CHAPTER did not turn our heads. He went among the Muscogees, and XXXIV, got many of them to join him. You know the Tensaw people. They were our friends. They played ball with us. They sheltered and fed us, whenever we went to Pensacola. Where are they now ? Their bodies rot at Sam Mims's place. The people at St. Stephens are also our friends. The Muscogees intend to kill them too. They want soldiers to defend them.
Strana 226 - I am Aaron Burr ; what is it you want with me ?" Struck with the keenness of his look, the solemnity of his voice, and the dignity of his manner, Bevin stood aghast, and trembled like a leaf. He asked not another question of the guard, but quietly moved about the house, offering the most obsequious attentions. When Perkins reached the confines of South Carolina, he watched the prisoner more closely than ever, for in this State lived Colonel Joseph Alston — a man of talents and influence, afterwards...
Strana 133 - Then all hands drank taffai, and journeyed on, with light hearts and laughing faces. The average travel was twenty-five miles a day. The route from Pensacola was a well-beaten path, leading up the country and across the fatal Murder Creek, and thence to within a few miles of...
Strana 318 - In half an hour, a dozen of the brightest names of the city were on the bond, and before morning the debt was paid, and a full discharge handed to the general. I have seen the manly tears chasing down his cheek, as the aged warrior dwelt on these recollections of the generous citizens.
Strana 224 - CHAPTER fierce and disagreeable howling of wolves. In the wilds of Alabama, in a small tent, reposed this remarkable man, surrounded by a guard, and without a solitary friend or congenial spirit. He was a prisoner of the United States, for whose liberties he had fought, and an exile from New- York, whose statutes and institutions bore the impress of his mind. Death had deprived him of his accomplished wife, his only child was on the distant coast of Carolina, his professional pursuits were abandoned,...
