The erratic editor's virtual allegiance to the Boss whom he once had flayed, might have caused Shelby a smile, had he not been saddened by the thought that any human being could misunderstand him so completely. To him it was a transparent truth that because he had known the canal's abuses as a politician, so surely must he wish to end them as governor of the state.

Ibid., 16 Août, 1753. Many pages might be filled with extracts like the above. Washington Washington and the Capitulation at Fort Necessity.
