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.
Look up the woodsmen who logged the Pacific NW forests. Now, those were men! I'm only 61, but I recall in Medford Oregon, back in the late 50's even, the definition of "log truck" was just that. A truck with one humongous log on it. I have a book my father gave me, by a photographer, Kinsey, who, in the early 1900's photographed the timber industry in Washington state. Folks put roofs on stumps of trees and lived in them. There's one photo of a man, wife, and two children that lived in one. Amazing!
Hard working men.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know why the center fellow's axe has a curved handle?
