"The entire absence of records by which the chronology of events
might be ascertained, renders it impossible to trace, in the order
of their date, the steps by which this remarkable man rose to the
chief place of his nation, and acquired a commanding and permanent
influence over his people.
"Keokuk is in all respects a magnificent savage. Bold, enterprising,
and impulsive, he is also politic, and possesses an intimate
knowledge of human nature, and a tact which enables him to bring the
resources of his mind into prompt operation. His talents as a
military chief and civil ruler are evident from the discipline which
exists among his people."--_McKinney._
