Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Our Federal Lands: A Romance of American Development In a hundred and fifty years a virile, resistless, acquisitive people have swept our country from the Atlantic to the Pacific Coast. From Jamestown and Plymouth they have pushed the frontier before them until it has disappeared. The wild turkey vanished before the domestic hen. Sheep replaced deer. The buffalo gave way to better beef breeds; grains and fruits have been substituted for nuts and wild berries. The Conestoga wagon, the canal, the steam railway, the automobile, and the airplane have followed each other in rapid procession - all within the memory of father and son. Towns and cities have been built, many of them among the world´s largest, and more than half our people live in them. We win wars for other nations and lend them money with which to mend their wrecked fortunes. We are admittedly the richest, most powerful Nation in the world and we took this power of wealth out of the ground. Now, we must invoice our resources and determine how we should proceed from here. For a nation begins but once. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
