Famous quotes containing the words people and/or fort:

    “This people must cease to hold slaves, and to make war on Mexico, though it cost them their existence as a people.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “So here they are, the dog-faced soldiers, the regulars, the fifty-cents-a-day professionals riding the outposts of the nation, from Fort Reno to Fort Apache, from Sheridan to Stark. They were all the same. Men in dirty-shirt blue and only a cold page in the history books to mark their passing. But wherever they rode and whatever they fought for, that place became the United States.”
    —Frank S. Nugent (1908–1965)
