Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Modern Battles of Trenton, Vol. 2: From Werts to Wilson With the story of the first issue of "Modern Battles of Trenton" and that embraced in these pages, I have set down the civil and political history of New Jersey for the last half century. But in the preparation of this new edition I have endeavored to write so that one may catch up the skein from one epoch to the other and read on understanding without recourse to the earlier publication. When I say from one epoch to another I speak advisedly. Without any planning of mine to that end, the whirligig of Time has made each of these publications epochal. While I was engaged years ago in tracing for the first volume the story of the Democratic regime that controlled the state for nearly two decades following the Civil War, the gods were sowing the seeds of its fall; and by the time I was ready for press the culmination had come. So when I entered on the text for this newer story of a long Republican regime I expected to tell in my closing chapter of a new Republican triumph, - when along came Woodrow Wilson to close the second epoch with a Democratic sweep that rounded out my Republican story to its finale. Though I cannot but recognize the political aspects of the narratives in the two books, I wish to acquit myself of any possible suspicion of having been influened in the preparation of either by my personal party leanings, if I have any. I have tried to remember that History is the storehouse of only the Truth, and to know no party in my writing.
