Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Eagle´s Wings, Vol. 13: The Age of Expansion, 1868-1910 What romance born of an author´s fancy is as thrilling as the true romances of American history! It is not within the range of the novelist´s imagination to conceive a story better adapted to romantic treatment than is the account of the four centuries of America´s development into a world power. The story of the Discovery of the New World reads like a fairy tale; each succeeding generation, from the Age of Conquest to the Age of Union, has served but to enhance the fascination of the story; and the history-makers of the present generation have not failed to furnish a fitting climax. When we consider the pinnacle of greatness to which this Western Republic has climbed, there seems to be some reason to believe that we to-day are living in her golden age. Into the great crucible, America, every country in the world has poured its stream of liberty-lovers, freedom-seekers; and from this melting-pot has come forth a race whose moral fibre is unequalled in the world. For when before in the history of warfare has a war been waged for the purpose of assisting a neighbor people to gain their liberty? The idea of such a war, perhaps, is not altogether new; it has been used as a pretext in many a European squabble of pure aggrandizement, or pure jealousy. England intervened to help Holland against Spain, but not for love of liberty; not in the least; it was for hatred and jealousy of Spain.
