Military Quotes

Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster...for when you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.

-- Friedrich Nietzsche

Assegun (probably from Chippewa ŭ'shigŭn 'black bass.' W. J.) A traditional tribe said to have occupied the region about Mackinaw and Sault Ste Marie on the first coming of the Ottawa and Chippewa, and to have been driven by them southward through lower Michigan. They are said, and apparently correctly, to have been either connected with the Mascoutin or identical with that tribe, and to have made the bone deposits in northern Michigan.
