Excerpt from Prisoners of Chance: The Story of What Befell Geoffrey Benteen, Borderman, Through His Love for a Lady of France
Varied as were these types, yet there were others, easy to name, but far more difficult to classify in their political relationships - such as priests of the Capuchin order; scattered representatives of Britain; sailors from ships ever swinging to the current beside the levee; Sinewy backwoodsmen from the wilds of the Blue Ridge; naked savages from Indian villages north and east; rafts men from the distant waters of the Ohio and Illinois, scarcely less barbarian than those with redder skin; Spaniards from the Gulf islands, together with a negro population, part Slave, part free, nearly equal in point of numbers to all the rest.
