    This Indian camp was a slight, patched-up affair, which had stood there several weeks, built shed-fashion, open to the fire on the west.... Altogether it was about as savage a sight as was ever witnessed, and I was carried back at once three hundred years.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The writer’s language is to some degree the product of his own action; he is both the historian and the agent of his own language.
