Description
Excerpt from Recollections of an Old Settler: Stories of Kent and Vicinity in Pioneer Times
The Indian has not the selfish and covetous disposition of the white man. He does not want to lay up riches to make him trouble in this world, but to take all the comfort he, can in this life, and I think if honor and honesty con stitute good men, they had it. The In dian has gone, with all his forest ?ocks, to return no more. They have been driven from their homes, their country, and their enjoyments of life, and to leave their father's and mother's graves, where they had been raised and so fond ly dandled on their knees. And for what? Merely to gratify and make room for a covetous and craving dispo sitiou that can never be Satisfied; like Alexander of old, when he had con quered the whole world, he sat down and wept because there were no more worlds to conquer.
