And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Horses Rowdy & Pat and Irish Wolfhound Eat ‘Em up Jake
Small Texas ponies...big dog, though.
ReplyDeleteI recognized the name, but couldn't remember why.
ReplyDeleteSo, I Googled, "Charlie Siringo", and read all about him.
What an INTERESTING manly life!
I very briefly worked for the Pinkertons in Portland, Oregon way back in 1974, in between Army enlistments.
I really like that dog's name, "Eat'em up, Jake"!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a John Wayne dog.
Always wanted an Irish wolfhound. Some day soon... "Eat'Em Up Jake" is a great name for one.
