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.

Peter Navarre with musket and hatchet. He was a hunter and a frontiersman who fought in the War of 1812 (photo c. 1840 - 1860).
I suspect that he knew how to hit a target with an axe or a bullet.
ReplyDeletehitting the axe with a bullet got him hits on two targets with one shot.
