Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Founding of a Nation: 1607-1919 Virginia having always played such a prominent part in the history of the United States, we think it appropriate that we should, in some small measure, pay tribute to her achievement. Virginia today more than ever is in the eyes of the world. It was Virginia that was the birth-place and the home of the first President of the infant United States of America, whose genius as Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Armies made possible the first democracy of the world. It is again a Virginian, the present incumbent of the high office of President of the United States of America, who, through his untiring efforts and unfailing courage, has made possible the long step towards World Democracy, brought almost within sight with the signing of the Peace Treaty and the proposed League of Nations. Virginia, in all, has furnished eight of the twenty-eight Presidents of the United States. Virginians have always been high in the councils of the country - always in the van in time of trouble, but prominent in peace no less than in war. The complete roster of famous Virginians would be too long to give here, but it includes such men as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe, John Marshall, George Mason, Peyton Randolph, George Rogers Clark, Patrick Henry, Meriwether Lewis, Richard Henry Lee, James Madison, Matthew Fontaine Maury, Robert E. Lee, J. E. B. Stuart, T. J. (Stonewall) Jackson, Joseph E. Johnston, Fitzhugh Lee, George H. Thomas, and now Woodrow Wilson, President and Statesman. During the World war Virginia furnished 73,062 men to the United States Army. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
