“Origin of the Natives
of America.”
To Columbus now we’ll bid adieu,
And pass to more modern times,
Among the natives take a view,
Their origin try to find. . . . (Warren Foote, Journal, c. 1838, in Saints,
Stories, and Sources: Warren Foote, vol. 1 [Aspen Grove Books, 2016], 187)
I do not think of anything worthy of note that transpired this year to
record more than I have written. So I will bid adieu to 1878. (Warren Foote,
Journal, June 28, 1878, in Saints, Stories, and Sources: Warren Foote, vol.
1 [Aspen Grove Books, 2016], 330)
