Quotes by James P. Beckwourth (?)

“Oh shroud him in his hunting-shirt, And lay him in the glen, Away, away from jealous foes, Away from sight of men With bow and painted arrow, That never failed its aim, When by his fleet and favorite steed The bounding bison came. Go, kill the warrior’s favorite horse, His crouching, lonely hound; To shield so brave a warrior In the happy hunting-ground.”

“Jim Beckwourth! By heavens, Jim Beckwourth!” was repeated from tongue to tongue. The gates flew open upon their massive hinges, and, as I rode through, I said, “Leave the gates open, boys; there is no longer danger.”
