Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Territorial Growth of the United States It is now many years since the substance of the following pages was first written. The manuscript was laid aside and the author began a more thorough study of the subject. That study has been continued to the present time, and the author has availed himself of all the authorities within his reach. During the last two years he has been largely engaged in rewriting and preparing the matter for the press. From the first, the history here embodied has appeared to him to be of great value to the American citizen, and to deserve a wider knowledge and more careful attention from all our people. The facts here presented in consecutive order have not heretofore been so fully given. It was, therefore, necessary to go back to original sources of information and to cull from many works of diverse character. Some of the chapters have a brief treatment because others seem to demand fuller and more minute consideration. The history of the Louisiana Purchase and the acquisition of the Oregon country are considered more at length because of the exceptional value of that history and because correct information upon these subjects has not been generally obtainable. It is difficult to appreciate fully the importance of the service done to this country by Dr. Franklin, John Jay, and John Adams, in the delicate task of negotiating the treaty of peace with Great Britain; and by Robert R. Livingston and James Monroe in accomplishing the purchase of the Louisiana province from the first Napoleon.
