Book excerpt: A leading conservationist in the United States, Madison Grant’s preoccupation with biodiversity was not limited to wildlife, but also extended to humans, particularly where that biodiversity intersected with the wider sweep of history, its meaning and interpretation, and government policy. Grant provides here a racial and ethnic history of the European settlement of North America, spanning from the ancient nations of Europe to the United States of his day. His thesis was that the United States was settled mostly by Northwestern Europeans, particularly English and Ulster Scots. To his mind, this relative homogeneity, plus the generally high quality of these enterprising settlers, conferred upon the new nation its prosperity, cohesion, stability, and defining cultural characteristics. Grant was concerned that then recent waves of immigration from poorer parts of Europe would lead to social instability, division, economic decline, and a growing underclass. He also thought that the failure to deal with problems left by slavery stored trouble for the future. Grant’s represents today an unfashionable opinion, and his framework of analysis—not to mention his Nordicist bias—makes him seem somewhat outdated. Yet, he remains historically important: in his day, Grant enjoyed support with much of the old WASP establishment, including academics, politicians, and scientists who were leaders in their field. What is more, nearly half a century since the restrictive immigration legislation for which he campaigned was reversed, the old arguments have not gone away: as in Europe, they are being updated and revisited in the United States, which is now more socially unstable, more divided, less prosperous, and with a much greater underclass than before. This, despite strenuous efforts by Grant’s opponents over the past century. Worse still, the founding stock of the United States is now in steep decline, just as Grant predicted it would without targeted policies; this, and the implications of that decline, makes him even more relevant today than he was in his lifetime. Following the Anti-Defamation League’s efforts to suppress the book in 1933, there has not been a professional edition in print for the last eighty years. This edition has been meticulously annotated, making it a resource for casual readers and scholars alike. It also comes with all the original maps, an expanded index, a foreword by Richard Spencer of the National Policy Institute, and cover artwork by Alex Kurtagic.

Book excerpt: Madison Grant traces the ethnography of the North American continent. Grant details the history of various ethnic groups on the continent, from Colonial times to the mid 20th century. Central is the dominant role that the Nordic race (particularly Anglo-Saxon and Ulster-Scots) played in the conquest and founding of the United States.Madison Grant, author of The Conquest of a Continent: or The Expansion of Races in America (1933), and, previously, The Passing of the Great Race (1916) was much discussed and reviewed in his own time, and into the 21st century by both detractors and admirers, whether in qualified or very strident terms. This prominent naturalist, zoologist, and benefactor still casts a shadow over many aspects of the human condition and the issues of "race," national identity, immigration, and the potential role of scientific methods in improving racial stock: points of contention that have never faded. He is a progressive and a man of science; an elitist; and a conservationist (or "environmentalist" in contemporary parlance). In this, what his colleague, the paleontologist Henry Fairfield Osborn, called in the introduction, "the first racial history of America," Grant provides a consistent theme--Nordicism and the need to preserve the Nordic racial type in America--but can be contradictory and inconsistent in finding the means to achieve this ultimate conservationist agenda.

Book excerpt: By using documented historical fact, Madison Grant proved that the colonial stock who opened up America for settlement were primarily of Northwestern European stock, with particular emphasis on its English and Ulster Scots roots. He goes on to show how America reached its greatest degree of racial homogeneity in 1860 and that later immigration from all parts of the world was undermining this founding stock. Grant's predictions of what would happen if unlimited immigration was allowed once again, and if the existing racial problems left by slavery and illegal Mexican immigration were not addressed, make sobering reading. Contains all the original maps and two new appendices which details how the Anti-Defamation League sought to suppress this book; and a 2006 study which showed that the number of Americans born with blue eyes had dropped from 1 in 2 in 1900 to less than 1 in 6 in 2000-proof of the accuracy of Grant's predictions that unlimited immigration would lead to the de-Nordicization of America.
