I Love Texas Too Well To Bring

Bear In Mind...that All Histories From The Rock At Plymouth, And Jamestown To The Present Time, Have Been Made By White Men, And A Man Who Tells His Own Story, Is Always Right Until The Adversary's Tale Is Told.

Let Me Tell You What Is Coming.... Your Fathers And Husbands, Your Sons And Brothers, Will Be Herded At The Point Of The Bayonet... You May, After The Sacrifice Of Countless Millions Of Treasure And Of Thousands Of Lives, As A Bare Possibility, Win Southern Independence...but I Doubt It.

I Would Lay Down My Life To Defend Any One Of The States From Aggression, Which Endangered Peace Or Threatened Its Institutions. I Could Do More For The Union, But I Wish To Do More; For The Destruction Of The Union Would Be The Destruction Of All The States. A Stab In The Heart Is Worse Then A Cut In A Limb, For This May Be Healed.

I Am Aware That In Presenting Myself As The Advocate Of The Indians And Their Rights, I Shall Stand Very Much Alone.

Remember That Whatever May Be Said By A Lady Or Her Friends, It Is Not Part Of Conduct Of A Gallant Or Generous Man To Take Up Arms Against A Woman.
