枉

• And if this story of one of his relentless pursuits shows the man as he truly was , loved by pioneers , respected and feared by redmen , and hated by renegades ; if it softens a little the ruthless name history accords him , the writer will have been well repaid
  如果这个关于韦特赛尔不屈不挠追击野蛮人的故事展现出他的确被西部开拓者所拥戴,印第安人对他敬畏,白人败类憎恨他;同时,如果这个故事能化解一点历史给定性的残酷的名字,作者就会心满意足,也不枉辛辛苦苦地写完这一本书了
