Book excerpt: This book is a continuation of the author's epic Race-Life of the Aryan Peoples and interweaves his personal family history into the narrative. From the introduction: "This book, The Three Americas, contains much of family history and much of my own personal history. The family records show successive migrations back and forth from Scotia to Scandinavia and about the shores of the North Sea and the Baltic; in the Teutonic Netherlands; in Normandy; and then from North Ireland to the New World. The book also contains much of my own life. In the ninety-four years, I have lived and taken part in the founding of four different phases of American race-life. Born in the Miami Valley of Ohio, in a log house, with the smoke of the Indian wigwam still about the place of my birth; growing up as a boy with the old flint-lock rifle and the woodsman's axe, to battle with the wild animals and the dense forests which then covered the land; picking up a scanty education in the country schoolhouse; bearing arms in the Civil War; then, the mining life of California in the old "Gold Days"; then, as Surgeon in the Army, living for years the desert life in battling with the Apaches; then, through other long years, in the practice of medicine, living the romance of the rancho and Mission life in Southern California- I have seen the evolution of the American race-life as have probably few other persons."
