—Kenneth Grahame (1859–1932)
“Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine.”

“That those tribes [the Sac and Fox Indians] cannot exist surrounded by our settlements and in continual contact with our citizens is certain. They have neither the intelligence, the industry, the moral habits, nor the desire of improvement which are essential to any favorable change in their condition.”
