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?

Make that 3. :) Spent alot of my youth in the wilds of SE Utah. Want a fascinating historical look at the area? NPS has a transcribed interview, on their website, a few hundred pages long (including photos) with a feller named Ned Chaffin. His parents homesteaded and ran cattle down under the rim, out in Ernies country, etc. Great read on a cold dark night.
