Throughout his entire life and in all his business dealings he seems not only to have exhibited traits of courage and of financial enterprise, but also to have been widely deemed an honest man and one whose "word was as good as his bond." He was respected accordingly by the whites, among whom in that day such a standing as his was none too common on the frontier.
