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.

5 Ute crossing Onahu Creek near the North Fork of the Colorado River, Photo c.1895
My original comment was that the rifles in the photo are "modern". What I meant to say is that they are modern for 1895. But in point of fact, they'd still work fine today.
