The Scouts of the Prairie was an Indian drama and there were 50 supers dressed as Indians in the fight with them. Jack and I were at home. We would kill them all off in one act, but they would come up again ready for business in the next. They were the inheritors of the land that we live on. They owned it when the white man came and the white man took it away from them. It was natural that they should resist. They are like every other class of people. They like to defend their rights. I believe the Indians are more sinned against than sinning. The men who were brought into action conducted themselves with such heroism that it would be an injustice to discriminate. The honorable David Crockett was seen at all points animating the men to do their duty, do hasten on aid to me as rapidly as possible as from the superior number of the enemy. It will be impossible for us to keep them out much longer. Victory or death. William Barret Travis. Colonel Crockett is perhaps the most illiterate man that you ever met in Congress Hall. He is rough and un talks much and loudly and is by far more in his proper place when hunting a bear and a cane break than he will be in the capital. Yet he is independent and fearless and has a popularity at home that is unaccountable. He is the only man I know in Tennessee that could openly oppose General Jackson in his district and be elected to Congress.
