Right again.

You tire me out. Think I'm gonna take a break. Why don't you post a few? Heck, I might even get a chance to answer one for a change.

That one I did from memory (no cheating).

"I here declare my unmitigated hatred to Yankee rule--to all political, social and business connection with the Yankees and to the Yankee race. Would that I could impress these sentiments, in their full force, on every living Southerner and bequeath them to every one yet to be born! May such sentiments be held universally in the outraged and down-trodden South, though in silence and stillness, until the now far-distant day shall arrive for just retribution for Yankee usurpation, oppression and atrocious outrages, and for deliverance and vengeance for the now ruined, subjugated and enslaved Southern States! . . . And now with my latest writing and utterance, and with what will be near my latest breath, I here repeat and would willingly proclaim my unmitigated hatred to yankee rule--to all political, social and business connections with Yankees, and the perfidious, malignant and vile Yankee race."

On June 18, 1865, a pre-eminent Southern nationalist "fire-eater" who had been one of the leading antebellum proponents of Southern secession, chose to commit suicide rather than submit to the subjugation of Yankee bayonet rule. Defiant to the bitter end, this fiery Southern patriot penned these famous last words in his diary just minutes before taking leave of the Yankee tyranny that had descended upon Dixie...

I didn't cheat on Ned Pepper.

This is a hard one. It was Edmund Ruffin.

DR,

Sounds like words spoken to someone about to be hanged or drowned.

Sitting Bull (1831-1890)
"I am not going. Do with me what you like. I am not going. Come on! Come on! Take action! Let's go!"
Although Sitting Bull--an important Sioux chief who is most famous for his role in defeating Custer at the Battle of the Little Big Horn--surrendered with about 200 of his followers in 1886, he continued to resist the U.S. government and tribal authorities by encouraging performances of the Ghost Dance ceremony and fomenting a new war against the white man. On 15 December 1890, about forty Native American members of the Indian Constabulary surrounded Sitting Bull's cabin and attempted to arrest him. When Sitting Bull refused to leave with the police, a crowd of angry supporters gathered around him. One of them, Catch the Bear, pulled a gun and shot the senior officer, Lieutenant Henry Bull Head. As Bull Head fell, he fired once and hit Sitting Bull in the side. A close quarters fire fight immediately broke out, and by the time it ended fourteen men--six of whom were police officers--had died.

Hey, Slim, I did it the "Old Fashioned Way" also.

"Prove it." were the last words spoken by an actor before he was killed in a classic western movie. Name the actor, his name in the movie, and the name of the movie.

Slim, do whatever you think is right. Just remember, cheaters never win and winners never cheat.

Jack Plance, role: Wilson, Movie: Shane

Still like that movie, well, except for the whinny kid, who is probably a SASS member now as his role in the film has influenced many shooters!

Cheyenne has it right on the money. I like that movie too. As I recall, since I grew up less than well to do, we didn't see the movie when it first came to our "sit down" theater, but did, when it made it to the "drive in" theater.
