Expansion is a necessary law of hui
man development and progress. The au-
thor has dealt only with the people Of
North America from it's discovery down
to today, and strangely enough 1t marks
the beginning and the ending of Spanish
rule in the new world.
The evolution of the America We know
begins in interest to the present genera
ton from the birth of our national ex-
istence. Its embryo state was shared
by the governments of nearly every coun-
try in Europe The territorial expansion
of the United States has been a marvel
to. the world in that it, has for the most
part been accomplished without very
great sacrifice Of life or money. The
', benefits have always been with our own
country.
Territorial expansion is the present
great bone of contention between the
Democratic and Republican parties; yet
it must be remembered that with the ex-
ceptiors Of Porto Rico and the Philip
pines, that every addition Of territory
Louisiana, the Floridas, Texas, Or
egon, California and Alaska - has
been accomplished under Democratic
administrations, or under men at one time
affiliated with that party. But the great
factor that has drawn all these great Sec
lions together has urged the various races
which have come into the Union, and
has girded the country with means of
communication, has been that great lev
eler of all distinctions-comm It is
| its profits that have elevated all sta
tons, founded institutions Of learning,
disseminated religion, and out of its in
! congruous mass developed a compiled
| whole.
The study of the expansion Of the
American people must not be confined to
! territory. The concomitant parts which
make you a great people must be traced
out and studied. Mr.. Sparks has dis
claimed originality in presenting this
book to the public, reserving that honor
to the pioneers who gave some of their all
too few leisure hours to chronicling the
events of their arduous lives. The book
| is invaluable to every one who is inter
ested in tracing the growth Of the nation
| through all the changes in the life of the
people down to the present day. 1t will
! doubtless receive that appreciation it de-
serves, for the clear, concise manner in
| which it is written, containing only the
/ best of previously chronicled events, re-
! lieves the student from the tedious re-
! search Of those old records; for che book
| under consideration will have no worthy
successor for years TO come.
