In Their Own Words
"‘I did not mind the work if they had only been reasonable, but there was no pleasing some of them; one would want to whip you for going too slow, and another for going too fast.’"
"‘I was so worn out that I did not care what became of me, and so reckless that I did some things that I knew were wrong, but I did not care.’"
"‘I have been driven by drunkards, who did not know what they were doing, and by careless men, who never thought of what might happen; and now I am come to this.’"
