Halaman 48 - For if I am obliged to storm, you may depend on such treatment as is justly due to a murderer. Beware of destroying stores of any kind, or any papers or letters that are in your possession, or hurting one house in town — for, by heavens! if you do, there shall be no mercy shown you.

Who knows what fortune will do for us? Great things have been effected by a few men well conducted. Perhaps we may be fortunate. We have this consolation; that our cause is just and that our country will be grateful and not con[demn] our conduct in case we fail, though, if so, this coun[try] as well as Kentucky, I believe, is...

Halaman 41 - Drizzly and dark weather. 18th. At break of day heard Gov. Hamilton's morning gun. Set off and marched down the river. Saw some fine land.

But they spent day and night in the water to no purpose, for there was not one foot of dry land to be found.
Halaman 92 - Blackburn, and their successors, be, and they are hereby created a body corporate and politic, by the name of "The Trustees of Illinois College...
Halaman 43 - Williams, with two men, went to look for a passage, and were discovered by two men in a canoe, but could not fetch them to. The whole army being over, we thought to get to town that night — so plunged into the water, sometimes to the neck, for more than one league, when we stopped on a hill of the same name— >- there being no dry land on any side for many leagues.
Halaman 97 - Resolved, That a committee of three be appointed, whose duty it shall be to prepare...
Halaman 175 - In plain English, gentlemen and fellow-citizens, the word has been passed on to me from Washington to follow Black Hawk and to take you with me as soldiers. I mean to do both. There are the flatboats drawn up on the shore, and here are Uncle Sam's men drawn up behind you on the prairie.
Halaman 43 - Set off to cross the plain called Horse-shoe Plain, about four miles long, all covered with water breast high.
