Famous quotes containing the words pike and/or county:

    Death had his grudge against me, and he got up in the way, like an
    armed robber, with a pike in his hand.
    Petrarch (1304–1374)

    Anti-Nebraska, Know-Nothings, and general disgust with the powers that be, have carried this county [Hamilton County, Ohio] by between seven and eight thousand majority! How people do hate Catholics, and what a happiness it was to show it in what seemed a lawful and patriotic manner.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
