"These Sierra chipmunks are more arboreal and squirrel-like. I first noticed them on the lower edge of the coniferous belt, where the Sabine and yellow pines meet, —exceedingly interesting little fellows, full of odd, funny ways, and without being true squirrels, have most of their accomplishments without their aggressive quarrelsomeness. I never wear watching them as they frisk about in the bushes gathering seeds and berries, like song sparrows poising daintily on slender twigs, and making even less stir than most birds of the same size. Few of the Sierra animals interest me more; they are so able, gentle, confiding, and beautiful, they take one's heart, and get themselves adopted as darlings."

"Every child is a child of its race, and there is no escape from the almightiness of heredity. However weak the white man, his ancestors produced the greatness of Europe; however strong the black, his ancestors never lifted themselves from the darkness of Africa."

"There is perhaps no class of men on the face of the earth who lead a life of more continued exertion, peril, and excitement, and who are more enamored of their occupations than the free trappers of the west. No toil, no danger, no privation, can turn him from his pursuit. His passionate excitement at times resembles a mania. In vain may the most vigilant and cruel savages beset his path; in vain may rocks, and precipices, and wintry torrents oppose his progress; but let a single track of beaver meet his eye, and he forgets all dangers and defies all difficulties."

"Our only security against a savage foe, is to allow no security to him. The white man and the red man cannot dwell in harmony together. Nature forbids it. They are separated by the strongest possible antipathies, by color, by habits, by modes of thinking, and indeed by all the causes which engender hatred, and render strife the inevitable consequence of juxtaposition. Knowing these things, I experience no difficulty in deciding on the proper policy to be pursued towards them. It is to push a vigorous war against them; pursuing them to their hiding places without mitigation or compassion, until they all shall be made to feel that flight from our borders without the hope of return, is preferable to the scourges of war."

“Above all things let our national pride be to improve the worth & virtue of our people — our national ambition to excel like the heroic Spartacus, not in artificial splendor, luxury & show, but in the sterling qualities of men.”

“Ours, too, is peculiarly an Agricultural as well as Republican country, & alike in the primitive and manly occupation, or simple institutions of our people, nothing can be more consistent, honorable, impressive and dignified than substantial plainness, independence, frugality and economy. Nothing more strongly and certainly marks the real happiness and independence of a people than a general and simple equality of manner, habits and style of living, as well as of political rights and privileges — where if there be no striking manifestations of wealth & luxury, neither are there any of poverty and misery.”

"We live in an important period, & have a post to maintain, to desert which would be an unpardonable crime, and would entail upon us the curses of posterity. The infamous tools of power are holding up the picture of want and misery; but in vain do they think to intimidate us; the virtue of our ancestors inspires us."

"When I came up to them, I found that they were only a band of Indians from Mono on their way to Yosemite for a load of acorns. They were wrapped in blankets made of the skins of sage-rabbits. The dirt on some of the faces seemed almost old enough and thick enough to have a geological significance; some were strangely blurred and divided into sections by seams and wrinkles that looked like cleavage joints, and had a worn abraded look as if they had lain exposed to the weather for ages. I tried to pass them without stopping, but they wouldn't let me; forming a dismal circle about me, I was closely besieged while they begged whiskey or tobacco, and it was hard to convince them I hadn't any."

"Nothing is more certainly written in the book of fate than that these people are to be free: Nor is it less certain that the two races, equally free, cannot live in the same government. Nature, habit, opinion has drawn indelible lines of distinction between them. It is still in our power to direct the process of emancipation and deportation peaceably and in such slow degree as that the evil will wear off insensibly, and their place be pari passu [in equal portion] filled up by free white laborers."
