Hmm; in rereading this, it sounds like I’m advocating violence against Quakers; didn’t mean it to come out that way. The juxtaposition of guns against the Quaker non violence seemed good at the moment of composition, however, I don’t want anyone to get the wrong idea...
Oh, I thought you were referencing Smith’s attempted prison break, where he got killed. He accidentally shot his brother in the back, if I recall correctly.
On the other hand, now I’ll be singing that song all night! Oh noes!
Any o’ them Quakers named Fancher?
