Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Winning of the Far West: A History of the Regaining of Texas, of the Mexican War, and the Oregon Question; And of the Successive Additions to the Territory of the United States, Within the Continent of America: 1829 1867 The Winning of the Far West is a study of such national action and international relations as have resulted in additions, within the Continent of North America, to the territory of the United States. It is based upon authoritative, and in part unpublished, sources, and was written, at the instance of the publishers, to constitute a continuation of Colonel Roosevelt´s Winning of the West. For the views expressed in the volume, Colonel Roosevelt is, however, in no way responsible. The record of the winning of the west presents a theme of epic character, and one not likely ever to be repeated in the history of mankind; but the winning of the far west is like a continued story, whose end is still hidden. To the student of to-day it means the acquisition of Texas, New Mexico, and California; Utah, Nevada, and Arizona; Washington, Oregon, and Alaska, with parts of Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana. To the next generation it may mean far more; for we are a nation in process of becoming, and what we shall be no man can predict.
