I was born in a land of freedom, and taught to lisp the name of liberty with my infant tongue, and rather than be driven out of the country or submit to be a slave, I will leave my bones to bleach on the plains of Texas.
I'm still standing awestruck having read this letter. Have been suffering from a toothache for a while but the tears in my eyes are not because of that.
Thank you, Derrick, for sharing his letter, and thank you, God, for having sent such a men amongst us.
The kid knew how to write. A beautiful remembrance for his family and the generations to follow.

We all must preserve his name.
Thank you so much, Paul. Sorry to hear about the tooth ache. I hope you get that taken care of soon and find relief.
I agree with you about preserving Giles’s name. It’s a remarkable letter.
