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.
Halaman 39 - I know the case is desperate, but Sr, we must either quit the country or attack Mr. Hamilton. No time is to be lost. Was I sure of a reinforcement, I should not attempt it. 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...

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.
