Book excerpt: Excerpt from Independence: A Story of the Revolution A few years before his death, Mr. George Ban croft, America's historian, remarked that George Washington was the greatest uninspired man that ever lived. A careful study of the history Of our country and the biographies of all great men will lead one to believe the statement correct.

You may take any standard of greatness, however, and Washington will still be, First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen. Since the time of Cincinnatus the world has not produced so pure, unselfish and unambitious a patriot. The noble martyr president, Lincoln, perhaps, comes nearest to Washington in the realvi preface.
