human
It ain't in human nature to shoot and stab one's own sort, even when they're in the wrong, unless they'd done somethin' agin oneself; an' that they hain't done as regards me. I'll be eternally dog-goned if I think the red-skins are to blame for rising agin oppression and tyranny, which is what old Rody did to them, to say nothin' agin him now he's dead, but to speak the truth, and that's bad enough for him. No, they war not to blame for what they did, arter his conduct to them--the old cuss; who, bad as he war, had one redeemin' feature in his karactur, and that war his angeliferous darter. Where kin she have gone a hidin'? Thet puzzles this chile, it do.
