"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."

"We cannot escape the fact that our civilization was built, and still depends, upon the quality rather than the equality of men. Progress and quality are inseparable. That is the law of life which man cannot change. Where there is quality in life, it surges forward. It was the quality of man that gave him leadership on earth, dominance over the sheer strength of ape and tiger. It was the quality of the Greeks that defeated the Persian host at Marathon. It was the quality of the Christian religion that carried it over the western world against what seemed overwhelming opposition. It was the quality of our American forebears that subdued a wilderness and won independence from a stronger power. For Americans, the doctrine of universal equality is death."

“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.”

“Are you, citizen soldiers, willing to repose quietly at home while your countrymen and brethren are bleeding under the tomahawk, and their families are the unresisting victims of the scalping knife? Can you sleep upon your pillow with the voice of lamentation in your ears? Are you insensible to noble deeds — dead to the love of fame; and too timid for danger? No. Such is not the character of Texans.”

"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."
