Présentation de l'éditeur
United States, they have numerous and varied points of contact with A merica; most of them very close, and in some instances of marked historical interest. The older men, indeed, were during much of their careers our fellow countrymen in the colonial period, and fought, some side by side with our own people in this new world, others in distant scenes of the widespread strife that characterized the middle of the eighteenth century, the beginnings of world politics; when, in a quarrel purely European in its origin, black men, to use Macaulay swords, fought on the coast of Coromandel, and red men scalped each other by the great lakes of North A merica.
