A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

PvEFAGE. During the progress of my liistorical labors, the fact gradually foiced itself upon me tliat the men who had made the history were not rcceivinosufficient attention. The narrative of events I could present in clear, C(nnected form, but the artiticers of those events I was forced to leave too nmch in the background. Throughout this westernmost A merica, within a comparatively short period, a great work had been accomplished, the results of which I could give ;but the men who had achieved those results I could not properly present vrithout so breaking the narrative as to deprive it of much of its historical value. In the history proper I could accord the usual space and attention ;nay, more, I could and did give fullv and freely biographical notices of greater or less extent; but this was not enougli. They were not merelv historical (haractt-rs in t1ie ordiuarv sense, but somethin more. Tliey were not alone factors or originators of progress ;they were authors of actualities, creators of commonwealths, liaving with their own hands fashioned from raw material the fabrics of destiny. And as such I could not but feel tiiey were entitled to more than passing notice. The conditions attending development I ierci were peculiar.
