May The Same Almighty Goodness

Lightning Does Not Often Strike Twice In The Same Place.

May The Same Almighty Goodness Banish The Accursed Monster, War, From All Lands, With Her Hated Associates, Rapine And Insatiable Ambition!

We Were Then In A Dangerous, Helpless Situation, Exposed Daily To Perils And Death Amongst Savages And Wild Beasts, Not A White Man In The Country But Ourselves.

Thus We Behold Kentucky, Lately An Howling Wilderness, The Habitation Of Savages And Wild Beasts, Become A Fruitful Field; This Region, So Favourably Distinguished By Nature, Now Become The Habitation Of Civilization, At A Period Unparalleled In History, In The Midst Of A Raging War, And Under All The Disadvantages Of Emigration To A Country So Remote From The Inhabited Parts Of The Continent.

I'm Going Now. My Time Has Come.
