Have I made my peace with God? I didn't know we'd quarreled!

The religion I have to love and fear God, believe in Jesus Christ, do all the good to my neighbor, and myself that I can, do as little harm as I can help, and trust on God's mercy for the rest.

I've opened the way for others to make fortunes, but a fortune for myself was not what I was after.

Soon after, I returned home to my family, with a determination to bring them as soon as possible to live in Kentucky, which I esteemed a second paradise, at the risk of my life and fortune.

In this time the enemy began to undermine our fort, which was situated sixty yards from Kentucky River.

In this situation I was constantly exposed to danger and death.

Most of the memorable events I have myself been exercised in; and, for the satisfaction of the public, will briefly relate the circumstances of my adventures, and scenes of life, from my first movement to this country until this day.
