| Wm. Penn achieved the deathless gratitude
of the savage by merely dealing in a square way with them--well, kind of
a square way, anyhow--more rectangular than the savage was used to, at any
rate. He bought the whole State of Pa. from them & paid for it like
a man. Paid $40 worth of glass beads & a couple of second-hand blankets.
Bought the whole State for that. Why you can't buy its legislature for twice
the money now. - Notebook, Aug. 1890-June 1891 |
