第 150 頁 - From east to west, from north to south, Emmanuel's kingdom shall extend ; — And every man, in every face, Shall meet a brother and a friend.
第 152 頁 - ... engendered from sexual intercourse. These diseases are among the men and women in the most malignant form, as the Indian doctors are unable to manage them. Indulgence in liquor, exposure, and the absence of remedies aggravate the disease. In this, striking at the very basis of procreation, is to be found the active cause of the destruction of the Indian race.
第 68 頁 - The Indian tribes are rapidly decreasing in numbers, especially west of the Rocky mountains, caused in some measure by the wars waged against them, and more particularly by the encroachments of the whites upon their hunting grounds and fisheries and other means of subsistence, and by the readiness with which they adopt the vices of the whites rather than their virtues ; hence their numbers are rapidly diminished by disease and death.
第 179 頁 - With him who conjured first my kingly name ; Aye, in this place stood he whom I deplore, Whose warrior name was not unknown to fame : His race I haste to bless, rather than curse or blame ! I would now lead from nature up to God My wicked race of wayward, war-like men, Along the paths the Prince of Peace hath trod, And consecrate to Him each mount and glen. My steps, O Lord, I...

These— North and Middle, South and East — Like chains of lakes, lie stretched along Where ancient oceans foamed their yeast, And white-plumed sea-gulls piped their song.
第 18 頁 - Are hooting owls and haunting elves, And many an Indian maiden minx, Whose echoes answer to themselves. Here Yampa River has its source, Where bears and beavers both retreat ; And the Gore Range rears grand its course, With flowerv summers at its feet. Then North Platteau next names the Platte, Where augiles rise like rabbits...
第 238 頁 - They wanted to set us against the guilty murderers, so as to save them through us. After a few hours of violent speeches, Mrs. Johnson burst into the lodge in a magnificent wrap, and demanded that the captives be set free, war or no war. Her brother Ouray had so ordered ; and she took the assembly by storm. She told the pathetic story of the captives, and advised the Indians to do as Ouray requested, and trust to the mercy of the government. General Adams said he must have a decision at once, or...
第 21 頁 - Salt Basin, this South Park is called— Bayou Salada (del Castile) — With all its sides so amply walled, Wild men well there may welcome feel. There squads of Indians and their squaws, With...
第 18 頁 - Till old sea-beds are changed to sights Of life and beauty on the land. These valleys all, diversified With light and shadow, shape and life, Are Colorado's Kingly pride, And every rood worth regal strife.
