his views of religion sound
and scriptural, and his fidelity
and integrity of character
were like his own well aimed rifle,
true to the mark.”

Obituary of Moses Van Campen
"I was nurtured in the school of the rifle and the tomahawk."
- Moses Van Campen
“I hear the footsteps of coming millions.”
- Moses Van Campen
“The notes of war are hushed,
The rage of battle o’er,
The warrior is at rest,
He hears our praise no more.
The soldier nobly fought
For all we dearly love,
He fought to gain a heavenly crown,
And now he reigns above.
- Rev. Thomas Aitken
