"A backwoodsman named Trimble went to Rutledge with credentials from North Carolina, and has gone off to Cherokee Ford to join McCall." "Bless my soul!" exclaimed the first gentleman. He came up and laid his hand on my shoulder, and said: "Where is Mr. Temple?" "That I don't know, sir." "When did he go away?" I did not answer at once. "That I can't tell you, sir." "Was there any one with him?"
As a true patriot, I should be ashamed to think that Adam in paradise was more favorably situated on the whole than the backwoodsman in this country. Our sympathies in Massachusetts are not confined to New England; though we may be estranged from the South, we sympathize with the West. There is the home of the younger sons, as among the Scandinavians they took to the sea for their inheritance.
The young fellow that sold me these gloves' showing a new pair on his hands 'would make as fine a backwoodsman as I ever saw six feet high, and strong in proportion. It's the sheerest waste of material to have that fellow selling stockings. But Mr.
I want these young men from the Blue Grass and from Lexington to know the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth." "Fust time truth ever come from the editor of The Western World!" growled a backwoodsman in buckskin breeches. "I'll bet my money on Burr. Burr ought to be President 'stid of Jefferson.

The man has lain for some time listlessly, but the feeling which he cannot understand increases now almost to an oppression. He sees nothing, but there is an unusual sensation which alarms him. He recognizes near him a presence fierce, intense, unnatural.
Christopher Gist, a famous backwoodsman, was sent , the year after Céloron's expedition, to explore the country as far down as the falls of the Ohio, and select lands for the new company. Gist's favorable report greatly stimulated interest in the Western country.
But our men waited until the gunners lit their matches in the cannon-ports, it was no trick for a backwoodsman. At length there came a popping right and left, and we knew that Bowman and McCarty's men had swung into position there. An hour passed, and a shadow came along our line, darting from cover to cover.
Upon learning the object of the party, he at once joined them, as he felt a fatherly affection for the Huron warrior. Being a skillful backwoodsman, he acted as guide to the men, proceeding, in spite of his years, at a rate which cost them considerable effort to equal. They had not gone a great distance, when the shout of Oonomoo was heard, and the missionary understood its significance.
With an expression of great bitterness, the backwoodsman handed the tobacco to the man next to him, and it passed on from hand to hand, untasted by any one a sign of uncommon excitement amongst the persons there assembled.
