Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Inter-Oceanic Canal: An Historical Sketch of the Canal Idea The Chairman Ladies and Gentlemen: this last session of the Panama Pacific Historical Congress will be distinguished by the reading Of a paper on The American inter-oceanic Canal: an Historical Sketch Of the Canal Idea, by Mr. Rudolph J. Taussig, Secretary of the Panama Pacific International Exposition. Mr. Taussig will tell the story Of the idea Of making a canal. It is practically the same thing as the history of the idea of making the Panama Pacific Canal, which opens a new era in the history Of the Pacific Ocean. I have the aid on the platform here Of two distinguished dele gates, one from Spain and the other from Japan. During his presence at the Congress, by many speeches and in many ways, Professor Altamira has endeared himself to those who are responsible for this Historical Congress. Professor N. Murakami has, in the excellent paper he read today at palo Alto, shown that the new land Of Japan is as interested in things Of the Pacific Ocean as the Old land of Spain. TO support them two former presidents Of the American Historical Association, Professor Turner, Of Harvard University, and Professor Jameson are here present. A little later we are to be favored by another former president of the American Historical Association, who, while he has written history, has also made it, and who has promised to be present shortly to tell us how he made the Canal, which Mr. Taussig will trace from its original idea.
