William Hepworth Dixon, White Conquest: Volume 1, Chapter 29: in Caddo. (search)
folks who stand outside the ordinary law. Others, besides unemancipated slaves, show a taste for squatting. Have we not here the Oklahoma Star, edited by a man who is neither Choctaw, Negro, nor Zambo, but a free rover of the waste, a literary Rob Roy? Barring accidents, the Star comes out once a week. On asking for last week's issue we learn that no paper appeared last Friday morning, owing to the illness of our printer. Some experience of the press having taught me that press faults arhey may; but who will make them? We require a good deal more than promises from chiefs. We want the right to vote, the right to hold offices, the right to own land, the right to sit on juries, the right to send our lads to school. We should like to have these rights secured to us by Acts of Congress, not by promises of Choctaw chiefs. Such are the politics of Caddo, a hamlet peopled by Negroes and Zambos; such the principles of the Oklahoma Star, a paper edited by a journalistic Rob Roy.
