Famous quotes containing the words crew, expedition and/or members:

    ““10 April 1800—
    Blacks rebellious. Crew uneasy. Our linguist says
    their moaning is a prayer for death,
    ours and their own.”
    —Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)

    “It is a sort of ranger service. Arnold’s expedition is a daily experience with these settlers. They can prove that they were out at almost any time; and I think that all the first generation of them deserve a pension more than any that went to the Mexican war.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “I believe that the members of my family must be as free from suspicion as from actual crime.”
    —Julius Caesar [Gaius Julius Caesar] (100–44 B.C.)
