Excerpt from Intemperance: Extracts From Pike's History of Crime
His ideas of life, virtue, and happiness were simple. To fight an enemy and carry off plunder, to make himself drunk when the battle was over, to remain drunk so long as the spoils afforded him the means, and then to fight and drink again - these were the objects of existence, and to attain them in perfection was to be a good man and true - Vol. I, p. 73.
