Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Land Question in the United States The growth of territory has been accompanied by the growth of population and the rise of commonwealths. The public domain makes a home for the poor and the Oppressed of over populated European countries. The first immigration census, taken in 1820, shows the insignificant number of In 1883 the census shows an inﬂux of foreign population amount: ing to nearly Six hundred thousand people. In Sixty - three years Europe contributed to the population Of the United States more than twelve millions of people. The West is a paradise for the settler. Public land is free of cost to every one who comes in good faith. Broad acres await labor and industry, cultivation and improvement. Mother Nature is lavish in her gifts. The Virgin soil yields profitable returns. The thrifty yeomanry, inspired with the spirit of free institutions, build up local and municipal governments. Every naturalized citizen enjoys political rights, and feels perfectly at home, though in a strange land. Democratic-republican principles permeate local, municipal, and State institutions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Land We Live In: Questions and Answers on United States History The following series of questions and answers upon the history of the United States, from the colonial period down the year 1888, was prepared by the late-mr. W. I. Chase, with most assiduous care, and was completed by him in August, 1888. Mr. Chase died in 1889, and his plan of continuing this work so as to include the geography, civil government, institutions and resources of the United States as well as its history, has not yet been carried out. The great favor with which these historical questions have been received in pamphlet form has led the publishers to cdntinue their publication in more permanent shape as here' given. We have no hesitation in asserting that no such clear, concise and\truthful resume of our na tional history was ever presented before. Certain periods, that in most histories are, for political reasons, slurred over if'not unfairly presented, as the period immediately preced ing the civil war, and the reconstruction period, are hére described frankly and fully, and at the same time with such entire freedom from partisan bias, that no honest reader can wrest the account to cause for offense. Mr. Chase had an exceptional power of singling out the well-substantiated from the doubtful statements of history, and of transcribing the former clearly, Without blurring their outlines by the addition of personal or party opinions. No less noteworthy was his power of grouping facts, so as to show their relation to each other. Facts, he said, are mere dead timber, which in the rough is neither ornamental nor particularlypreface.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An American History The history of the United States is unique in that it relates definitely to the growth of the American nation, and to the ability of this people to subdue and control the forces of natural environment. It is not a chronicle of the political and military development of a country. For this reason, it has been necessary to note specifically in this text the forces that have brought into existence this new nation. These forces are: First, the many nationalities that have helped to form this composite people; second, the European inﬂuences that have molded a tolerant and liberal-minded state; and third, the adjustment of old world civilization upon new-world environment. To this end, we find that the study of American history must include: First, the land itself; second, the relation of the European background to American history; third, the adjustment of ideals of religion, government, education, and industry to a primitive country; and fourth, the rela tions of this country in international questions.

That the colored people of the country will yet achieve an honorable status in the national indus tries of thought and activity, I believe, and try to make plain. In the discussion of the land and labor problem I but pursue the theories advocated by more able and experienced men, in the attempt to show that the laboring classes of any country pay all the taxes, in the last analysis, and that they are systematically victimized by legislators, corporations and syndicates.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Treaty-Making Power Under the Constitution of the United States The recent action of the State of California in passing an act prohibiting Aliens ineligible to citizenship in the United States from holding land in that State has produced wide discussion, and brings us face to face with the question whether a Treaty between the United States and any foreign country Which guarantees to the inhabitants of such country the right to hold land within the bounds of the United States is a Constitutional Treaty and valid, as against the law of a State of the Union prohibiting such holding by such foreign ers. No question of more far-reaching effect than this has arisen in our political history within the past few years.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Land Politics of the United States: A Paper Read Before the New York Historical Society, Tuesday, May 1, 1888 We are all familiar with the large part which was played in the history of Rome by her public lands. They were the seed-plot of periodical public dissensions, and bore almost annually a larger crop of political agitations than of economic products. Every school-boy knows the successive phases of this agrarian struggle. In the whole of Italy, as in Rome, two contending parties stood perpetually in presence of each other. On the one side was an aristocratic party contending for class privileges and proprietary dominion; on the other was a democratic party contending for larger measures of popular power and for larger shares of beneficiary right in the administration of the public domain. Questions of land dominion and of land distribution have formed the ultimate ground of political division and debate among men ever since the human race, in the evolution of society, passed from political organization on the basis of common blood, to political organization on the basis of common territory.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The National Land System: 1785-1820 It is the purpose of this study to show how the national public lands passed into private ownership during the first great period of our land system. It is concerned, therefore, only with the disposal of the lands by the nation, it does not presume to discuss the uses to which the lands were put. It considers the land grants for education, for example, merely as a way in which great areas passed from the public domain to the control of the States; it does not work out the management of those grants. In short, it deals with the origin of the public domain and with every form of disposition which was in use before 1820.

Book excerpt: Revisit a world of conquest, exploration, and imperial adventure with this Modern Library eBook bundle that includes Edward Gibbon’s The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Francis Parkman’s Montcalm and Wolfe, William H. Prescott’s History of the Conquest of Mexico, and Theodore Roosevelt’s The Naval War of 1812. THE DECLINE AND FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE (ABRIDGED) Edward Gibbon’s masterpiece, which narrates the history of the Roman Empire from the second to the fifteenth centuries, is widely considered the greatest work of history ever written. This abridgment retains the full scope of the original, while emphasizing elements ignored in all other abridgments—in particular the role of religion in the empire and the rise of Islam. MONTCALM AND WOLFE The result of more than forty years of passionate research, Montcalm and Wolfe is the epic story of Europe’s struggle for dominance of the New World. Thought by many to be Francis Parkman’s greatest work, it is a riveting read and an essential part of any military history collection. HISTORY OF THE CONQUEST OF MEXICO William H. Prescott’s sweeping account of Cortés’s subjugation of the Aztec people has endured as a landmark work of scholarship and dramatic storytelling. This pioneering study presents a compelling view of the clash of civilizations that reverberates in Latin America to this day. THE NAVAL WAR OF 1812 Published when its author, Theodore Roosevelt, was only twenty-three years old, The Naval War of 1812 was immediately hailed as a literary and scholarly triumph, and it is still considered the definitive book on the subject. Roosevelt’s inimitable style and robust narrative make The Naval War of 1812 enthralling, illuminating, and utterly essential to every armchair historian.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Public Lands: Studies in the History of the Public Domain The vast and intricate story of the creation and expansion of the public domain, the administration, distribution, and management of federal lands, runs from 1776 to the present. But the ideas and values that controlled these matters lay partly in the American colonial past, partly in legal and other institutions imported from England and the Continent. Colonial experience and needs had by the time of the Revolution created different systems for obtaining legal posses sion of land, and for describing and recording titles in the separate colonies, but in one important respect the differences between the Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts systems, for example, were superficial. Men wanted and Obtained individual ownership of land, and although they may never have heard of Blackstone, what they did illustrates his declaration that There is nothing which so generally strikes the imagination and engages the affections of mankind, as the right of property; or that sole and despotic dominion which one man claims and exercises over the external things of the world, to the total exclusion of the right of any other individual in the universe. It was understood and accepted that a set of words upon parchment served to convey dominion on land, or at least that it should.
