Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Marian Rooke, or the Quest for Fortune: A Tale of the Younger World Far beyond the tossing Atlantic, - far beyond that chain of blue mountains which early settlers once thought the ultima thule of white encroachment, - far beyond the turbid stream whose vast dimensions make sea-coasts of its shores, and bear the spoils of a continent to the Gulf, - aye, and even far beyond that stern range of once impassable Rocky Mountains, the ever-restless Anglo-Saxon has pushed his way, until there is scarcely a streamlet he has left unexplored, scarcely a square mile he has left untrodden. To speak of change in connection with America seems idle now, for the words have become all but synonymous. And yet these mutations, so far as they are connected with the occupation of fresh territory, must, through physical necessity, come to an end; the swifter the racer the sooner he comes to his goal, and the rapidity of a nation´s growth bespeaks an early maturity, if not a premature decay. There are those who may find abundant significance in the fact that all of the many vast tracts belonging to the United States which had undergone territorial organization, became permanently settled during the present decade.
