Rutherford Selig Quotes in Gem of the Ocean
They had a man down in Kentucky was accused of stealing a horse. He said he didn’t do it. Turned him into an outlaw. Made him the biggest horse thief in Kentucky. He lived to steal horses. He must of stole five hundred horses. And every one he sent back word: I stole that one but I didn’t steal the first one. I stole that one but I didn’t steal the first one. They never did catch him. He died and the horse thieving stopped.
They talking about keeping the colored out of Pennsylvania. Say, “What do we need them for?” One man say they ought to send them back down South. I come on past the general store in Rankin and they was talking about, “Why can’t we have slavery again?” One man said ’cause of the law. And somebody said change the law. The man asked him, “Would you fight another war?” And he said, “Hell yeah.”
