I), (also titled Christopher Carson, familiarly known as Kit Carson) [Books (First Lines)] He who loathes war, and will do everything in his power to avert it, but who will, in the last extremity, encounter its perils, from love of country and of home--who is willing to sacrifice himself and all that is dear to him in life, to promote the well-being of his fellow-man, will ever receive a worthy homage. - Napoleon Bonaparte [Patriotism]
