Nic Buchanan Quotations

We want our youth to be able to say: I come from a people who were trading just as the British did.

Everything before then was written off as savagery or barbarism. Any story that involved heroism was about white people.

The thread of the story is that he was a troublemaker. When he made up his mind that something was not right, he fought it hard.
