" David Roop was a fair specimen and true type of the ancient backwoodsman and hunter. He was a brave and generous to a fault. he was uneducated and uncouth in even his manner and conversation.
"Industrious in his habits, but rather too fond of whiskey. he belonged to a class that is fast dying out, and the time is not too far distant when the backwoods hunter will be known only to history."
--Brock-Perry
