"I am tired of fighting. Our chiefs are killed. Looking Glass is dead. Toohoolhoolzote is dead. The old men are all dead. It is the young men who say, "Yes" or "No." He who led the young men [Olikut] is dead. It is cold, and we have no blankets. The little children are freezing to death. My people, some of them, have run away to the hills, and have no blankets, no food. No one knows where they are -- perhaps freezing to death. I want to have time to look for my children, and see how many of them I can find. Maybe I shall find them among the dead. Hear me, my chiefs! I am tired. My heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands I will fight no more forever. Chief Joseph, Nez Perce. Context: What is this about? Point: What is being said? Significance: Why is this important/meaningful?

THIS was a bill in equity for the infringement of letters patent No. 157,124, issued to Joseph F. Glidden, November '24, 1874, for an "Improvement in Wire Fences." In his specification the patentee stated that "this invention has relation to means for preventing cattle from breaking through wire fences; and it consists in combining, with the twisted fence wires, a short transverse wire, coiled or bent at its central portion about one of the wire strands of the twist, with its free ends projecting in opposite directions, the other wire strand serving to bind the spur-wire firmly to its place, and in position, with its spur-ends perpendicular to the direction of the fence-wire, lateral movement, as well as vibration, being prevented.
