Excerpt from Hawaii, the Great Ocean Crossroads: Speech of Hon. Henry R. Gibson, of Tennessee, in the House of Representatives, Tuesday, June 14, 1898After the discovery of America, the English descendants of these Vikings, still sailing westward, crossed the wide ocean into this New World, and colonized the Atlantic coast of North America. And here they founded a new nation, and proclaimed a new evangel of human liberty, and flung to the breeze, in sight of men and angels, a new banner.But the spirit of Viking adventure and Viking daring was still raging in their breasts, and the more adventurous of the sons and grandsons of_ those old colonizers continued to move westward, ever westward, and climbing and crossing the Alleghany Mountains, driving the wild beasts and the Indians before them, occupied the coves and the valleys at the headwaters of the Tennessee and the Ohio rivers. But still not satisfied, the most adventurous sons of these heroic adventurers, chie¿y the men who founded the States of Tennessee, Kentucky, and Ohio, continued to move westward until they reached the banks of the mighty Mississippi, the Father of Waters.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
