Nature Was Here A Series Of Wonders,

We Were Then In A Dangerous, Helpless Situation, Exposed Daily To Perils And Death Amongst Savages And Wild Beasts, Not A White Man In The Country But Ourselves.

May The Same Almighty Goodness Banish The Accursed Monster, War, From All Lands, With Her Hated Associates, Rapine And Insatiable Ambition!

Nothing Embitters My Old Age [like] The Circulation Of Absurd Stories That I Retire As Civilization Advances, That I Shun The White Men And Seek The Indians, And That Now Even When Old, I Seek To Retire Beyond The Second Alleganies.

Lightning Does Not Often Strike Twice In The Same Place.

I'm Going Now. My Time Has Come.
