Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Missouri, Vol. 1: The Center State, 1821-1915 "I see here one State that is capable of assuming the great trust of being the middle main, the mediator, the common center between the Pacific and the Atlantic - a State of vast extent, of unsurpassed fertility, of commercial facilities that are given to no other railroad State on the continent, a State that grapples hold upon Mexico and Central America on the south and upon Russia and British America on the north; and through which is the only thoroughfare to the Golden Gate of the Pacific. It is your interest to bind to Missouri the young States of the Pacific of this Continent, while they are yet green and tender, and hold them fast to you. When you have done this and secured the Pacific States firmly, you will have bound the Atlantic to the Pacific Coast, and have guaranteed an empire such as Alexander failed to conquer, and Bonaparte tried in vain to reduce under one common scepter, as his predecessor, Charlemagne, had done. And it will be the glory of Missouri to see established firmly the empire of the Republican Government of America over the entire Continent of North America. And in saying what I do, I do not exclude the region which lies between us and the North Pole. And I dare not say where I would draw the line on the south." - William H. Seward, Secretary of State, 1861-9, in an Address at St. Louis. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
