Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The American Caucus System: Its Origin, Purpose and Utility Charles Sumner states he was asked by Brougham in the presence of Lord Lyndhurst, the origin and meaning of ´caucus,´ and replied, "It is difficult to assign any elementary to the word, but the most approved one referred its origin to the very town, and about the time(1772), of his lordships birth." It is a tradition of the ´town´ of Boston that ´caucus´ was a common word there before the Revolutionary War broke out, and that it originated in a feud between the British troops on the one side and the rope-walkers and calkers on the other. Bloody collisions, it is said, occurred between them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
