From "The Wars of Kentucke" by Daniel Boone:
"My footsteps have been marked with blood. Two darling sons and a brother have I lost by savage hands. What thanks, what ardent and censeless thanks are due to that all superintending Providence which has turned a cruel war into peace. May the same Almighty Goodness banish the accursed monster, War, from all lands"
