Labor was, in fact, cheap at that period; also unfortunately for Captain Ben rum and brandy. The book does not say where Ezekial Jackson kept his general store, but that was where Captain Ben dealt, and his items of purchase are faithfully set down. A good many men "swear off" on the New Year, but Captain Ben didn't.
It is now that Ezekial says of her "O Tyrus, thy heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God in the midst of the seas Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel, there is no secret that they can hide from thee: from thy wisdom and with thine understanding hast thou gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures: by thy great wisdom and by thy traffick thou hast increased thy riches, and thy heart is lifted up because of thy riches" ; and again, "O thou that are situated at the entry of the sea, which art the merchant of the peoples unto many isles, thus saith the Lord God, Thou, O Tyre, hast said, I am perfect in beauty.
Mine heart is turned within me, my repentings are kindled together." * Ezekial xxxiii. 10. That people continued in their sins and perished in them: But will any who read these messages, sent them of God, conceive their crimes, and the desolations which followed, when they had filled up the measure of their iniquity, to be pleasing to God, or the effect of divine order and influence?
Then follows "two combs" he was going to keep slicked up also earthenware, indigo, "cotting," and more scanes of silk, mainly for Sarah, no doubt, and so on to the end, when the account is closed and underneath is written: This day made all even betwixt Ezekial Jackson and myself. Captain Ben's accounts close in 1829, but the shoemaking records had long since begun.
Lieutenant Thompson, one of the party, who had met me at Fort Harker, cried out: "Why, that is Bill Cody, our old scout." He introduced me to his comrades, Captain Graham and Lieutenants Reed, Emmick, and Ezekial. Graham, something of a horseman himself, greatly admired Brigham. "That horse of yours has running points," he admitted.
Through the inexperience and incompetency of the officers, the cruise was a complete failure, and resulted in the dismissal of "Commander-in-Chief" Ezekial Hopkins, and the retirement of Jones's immediate superior, Captain Dudley Saltonstall.
Just then Captain Ezekial entered, and ordered the soldiers to stand back. "I'm sorry, Bill," he said, when I demanded to know what this meant. "But I've been ordered by General Bankhead to arrest you and bring you to Fort Wallace." "All right," said I. "But you could have made the arrest without bringing the whole Thirty-eighth Infantry with you."
We may guess it from the next entry: May 2, By 1 famly bible 1 poun, 13 shillin That ended the rum chapter. There is not another spirituous entry in all of Ezekial Jackson's credits. "By one mometer" comes next, May 6th. Probably Captain Ben felt himself cooling down pretty rapidly for the season, and wanted to take the temperature.
Behold the startling credits to Ezekial Jackson during the first ten days of 1806: Jan. 1, By 2 lb. sugar 2 shillin " 1, " 1 qt. brandy 2 shillin " 5, " 1 qt. brandy 2 shillin " 6, " 1 qt. brandy 2 shillin " 10, " 1 qt. brandy 2 shillin But perhaps this was too costly a pace, for the next entry is, "Jan. 15, 1 jug, 1 shillin," and on the same date, "One gallon of rum, 6 shillin."
