Turks and Yankees
A historian of the Saracen conquerors, says: ‘"It was moreover a common injunction to spare as much as possible the countries they invaded. " Destroy not palm trees,"’ says Ababaker to Yesuf, ‘" nor burn any field of corn; cut down no fruit trees, do no mischief to cattle, only such as ye kill to eat."’Compare these Turks of more than a thousand years ago, in the very midnight of the ages, with the Yankees of this day, who organize expeditions for the express purpose of doing what the most savage and barbarous people of the world would not permit!
