Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Address of Hon. David Walker, of Fayetteville, Arkansas: On the History and Resources of the State, by Appointment of Governor Garland, at Judges Hall, Centennial Grounds, Philadelphia, October 16, 1876 It has been deemed by the United States Government a fit occasion at the close of the Centennial year of American Independence, for the States and territories of the nation to assemble near the spot where the British Colonies renounced all further allegiance to the government of Great Britain, and declared themselves a free and independent people; to celebrate the occasion, and to bring with them, and present specimens of their mineral and agricultural wealth, and indicate their advancement in the arts, sciences, mechanics, and general prosperity. And it was also deemed proper to invite the civilized nations to join us in this celebration, and in this competitive exhibition. This invitation has been accepted by thirty-eight independent nations, who, through their representatives, have come to join us in commemorating the birth-day of the nation; to mark the power, the capacity, and success of our nation, under a government based upon the great principles of civil liberty then announced; to examine the mineral and vegetable products of the earth; to note the progress that we have made in the arts and sciences; and to measure them by an exhibition of their own; ours, the product of a nation of an hundred years´ growth; theirs, of many centures. We should pass no judgment upon the comparative merits of any, but when we look around upon this vast exhibition, with all its wealth of earth, of mind, and of genius, we cannot but feel encouraged by the result and impelled to a higher destiny. This very brief reference to the occasion and its surroundings must suffice. I come by invitation and executive appointment to speak of and for the State of Arkansas; of her early history and inhabitants; of her climate, rivers, mountains, and plains; of her vast forests of timber; her mineral and agricultural products; of her undeveloped capacities, exhaustless resources, and of her prospective future.
