Panama, Past and Present (Classic Reprint)

Angebote / Angebote:

Excerpt from Panama, Past and Present It is eminently fitting that this book should appear at the present time. No more suitable occasion for a popular treatise on the Panama Canal can be imagined than the eve of the opening of the greatest trade route known in the history of the world. A study of this noteworthy undertaking is of especial value to us because this is an American achievement, projected by the people of the United States through their representatives at Washington, paid for from the revenues of this nation, accomplished by the grit, sagacity, and perseverance of some of the greatest Americans of this generation. We are not intelligent if we are uninformed on such a subject, we are unwise if we fail to appreciate its significance, we are unpatriotic if we do not applaud the doings of such citizens.
