"Old Injin Charley you remember, the old boy that tanned that buck for you down on Cedar Creek." "Yes, but the other fellow." "Oh, a hunter," replied the scaler carelessly. "Sure?" The man laughed. "Couldn't be nothin' else," he asserted with confidence.
The loose sac of birch-bark sewed to the long beech oval was slung between two tripods. Injin Charley had fashioned a number of thin, flexible cedar strips of certain arbitrary lengths and widths. Beginning with the smallest of these, Thorpe and his companion were catching one end under the beech oval, bending the strip bow-shape inside the sac, and catching again the other side of the oval.
The description, especially, of the squatter family and the life led by it, is one of Cooper's most powerfully drawn pictures. It has been the misfortune of this series that the member of it which has attracted most attention is "The Redskins; or, Indian and Injin," which came out in July, 1846.
"I didn't now honest Injin! I just opened." "Go on," said Maggie, eagerly shoving him and interposing her neck over his shoulder. And Jim continued Deborah's wonderful song of Jael and Sisera to the bitter end of its strong monosyllabic climax. "There," he said, closing the volume, "that's what I call revenge. That's the real Scripture thing no fancy frills theer."
You can't take the cart quite up to the hut but you can git near enough, at a place where there's a Injin' friend o' mine as'll take care of ye."

T'ink more than one Injin here don't know, dough maybe, maybe not can't tell, till see trail, morrow morning " "Well, well; but what does he tell his young men to DO?" demanded the bee-hunter, impatiently.
Three times more the fond father, thus goaded, managed, by accident, business accident, to see old Charlie and increase his offer; but in vain. He finally went to him formally. "Eh?" said the deaf and distant relative. "For what you want him, eh? Why you don't stay where you halways be 'appy? Dis is a blame old rat-hole, good for old Injin Charlie, da's all.
Do you think a white girl is like a redskin woman, to be sold as you sell your wives and daughters to the squaw-men and white loafers, you reptile? Then the Injin said an ugly word about Val's sister, and Val shot him dead like lightning.... Yes, that is good to swear, Galbraith. You are not the only one that curses the law in this world. It is not Justice that fills the gaols, but Law."

"I don't believe," said Charlie. "What you would take for it!" cried the planter. "Wait for w'at?" "What you would take for the whole block?" "I don't want to sell him!" "I'll give you ten thousand dollah for it."
I dare say any man would have his feelin's when it got to be life or death, ag'in another human mortal; but there would be no such scruples in regard to an Injin; nothing but the chance of his hitting you, or the chance of your hitting him."
