They will not settle down to inactivity under any wrong or oppression; they will not bear any burden meekly or tamely; nurtured in the lap of freedom, they chafe fearfully under any restraint; their liberty they will seek at any hazard-they pant for it as for the air they breathe; show them the remotest possibility of accomplishing their purpose, and no danger, no thousand dangers, will deter them from the attempt; destroyed they may be, but not subdued."</span></p><p><br></p><p><span>Originally published in 1861, Warren Wildwood''s </span><em>Thrilling Adventures Among the Early Settlers</em><span style="background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); color: r
