I called to my young men and said, mark yon tall and daring warrior…Himself is alone exposed. Quick, let your aim be certain, and he dies. Our rifles were leveled, rifles which, but for you, knew not how to miss – ‘twas all in vain, a power mightier than we shielded you.“I called to my young men and said, mark yon tall and daring warrior? He is not of the red-coat tribe- he hath an Indian’s wisdom, and his warriors fight as we do- himself alone is exposed. Quick, let your aim be certain, and he dies. Our rifles were leveled, rifles which, but for you, knew not how to miss – ‘twas all in vain, a power mightier than we shielded you. Seeing you were under the special guardianship of the Great Spirit, we immediately cease to fire at you…I come to pay homage to the man who is the particular favorite of Heaven, and who can never die in battle.” - Chief Red Hawk
