During the conflict, tomahawks flashed, war whoops rang out, children screamed as they saw their fathers fall, houses were burned to the ground, and everywhere was panic. Yet the courageous band, led by Zebulon Butler and composed mostly of old men and young boys, fought valiantly, inspired by a great devotion and loy- alty to their country. Their courageous spirit and the sacrifice they made must ever inspire us, who now enjoy the freedom which they helped secure, to do noble deeds for which we may be remembered. ,Je f g X551 2 ' ig' QW- f 'e BX t f e22?r as ails ,Wg X-.- :MNH fs x ' .
