Although we may be attacked by the Spanish, I believe that the bay will provide adequate protection. A Native American chief accused me of invading his land.

A cloud of dust rises up behind the coach, and the constant motion of the wheels kicks up small rocks that fly like bullets. Before the brisk expansion of railroads in the West
