Download or read book Over Here written by Hector MacQuarrie and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Over Here: Impressions of America During a year spent largely in Pennsylvania, with occasional visits to other states, I have found little to criticise, but rather much to admire, much indeed to love. America now means a great deal to me, since it contains so many people that I have learnt to care for, so I want to let my cousins as well as my own countrymen know my thoughts. From the day that I landed in New York until the present moment, I have been treated with a kindliness that surpasses anything I thought possible in this world. I have been able to see, I hope, where misunderstanding has arisen, and, being a Highland Scotchman, I am able to express my feelings. I have written more about persons than about places. Sometimes I laugh a little, but never unkindly; and I do this because I realize that American people rather appreciate a joke even at their own expense. Often I have heard, over here, that it is impossible for an Englishman to see a good joke. A man told me once that the Kaiser was disguising his submarines as jests, with an obvious design. The idea was interesting to me, because if there is one thing that we Britons pride ourselves upon, it is our sense of humour. Of course, the explanation is obvious.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from America as I Saw It: Or America Revisited What am I to say to precede this cubist-impression picture of a great country? Odd notes at odd moments, often made at lightning speed, and under all sorts of circumstances and conditions, lie herein. "If you write about America and don't lay eulogy on with a spoon you will never be able to set foot in the United States of America again, they will hate you so," said a friend. I don't believe it. Americans are older and wiser and kinder nowadays, and will accept the good, and the bad, and the honesty of both, I feel sure. My first visit to the United States was in 1900 - 1901, on my way to Mexico to write "Mexico as I Saw It," which has run into many editions since then. It appeared at five dollars, with three hundred illustrations, and is now brought up to date, and published in abridged form at twenty-five cents. Cheap sales of goods generally mean deterioration; but cheap editions of books luckily denote the popularity of the originals. My second visit to America was in the winter of 1904, when a telegram received in Chicago from Ex-President General Diaz invited me to return to Mexico for his seventh election.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our American Cousins: Being Personal Impressions of the People and Institutions of the United States There is no country in the world, except his own, through which an Englishman will find it pleasanter to travel than America. He is so kindly received, so hospitably entertained, I may say so affectionately treated, that be naturally feels as much at home as if he were in England. Our cousins across the broad Atlantic, indeed, scarcely regard an Englishman as a stranger at all. They certainly do not behave towards him as if he were one. England is called the old country, the mother country, but never a foreign country. And the respect paid to the old land is extended to the travellers who come from it. Every courtesy and attention are given to him. He is told to make himself, and is made to feel himself, perfectly at home. If the visitor does not have a good time of it, or, to put it more emphatically, a high old time of it, it must be mainly his own fault.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from South and North, or Impressions Received During a Trip to Cuba and the South This book scarcely needs a preface. In my trip, I have kept my eyes and ears Open, and have recorded all I have seen, heard and thought, which, it has appeared to me, would interest the community, or would throw light upon that question which now agitates our country from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the Saint Lawrence to the Gulf. I am an American citizen, and it is my prerogative to speak frankly and freely. I love our country, our whole country, and therefore I will not allow any earnestness of utterance to interfere with the.

Book excerpt: • A New Republic Best Book of the Year • The Globalist Top Books of the Year • Winner of the Maine Literary Award for Non-fiction Particularly relevant in understanding who voted for who during presidential elections, this is an endlessly fascinating look at American regionalism and the eleven “nations” that continue to shape North America According to award-winning journalist and historian Colin Woodard, North America is made up of eleven distinct nations, each with its own unique historical roots. In American Nations he takes readers on a journey through the history of our fractured continent, offering a revolutionary and revelatory take on American identity, and how the conflicts between them have shaped our past and continue to mold our future. From the Deep South to the Far West, to Yankeedom to El Norte, Woodard (author of American Character: A History of the Epic Struggle Between Individual Liberty and the Common Good) reveals how each region continues to uphold its distinguishing ideals and identities today, with results that can be seen in the composition of the U.S. Congress or on the county-by-county election maps of any hotly contested election in our history.
Download or read book Campbell written by C. Beaumont and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-24 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Campbell: An American Tale But the author has other motives in presenting this work to the American people. It is the first attempt within his knowledge to connect the occurrences of that proud portion of the history of his country which so emphatically and fully developed its national character with the charms of heroic verse. And if this attempt but succeed in exciting a desire to have that history studied with the pleasures of its romance, he feels as sured. That it will develop one strong and lasting tie of patriotism. To have the' early history of our country connected with our earliest impressions of pleasure and excitement of passion will do much in establishing a desire to continue unchanged those scenes, and uh altered those institutions, which have been so greatly the foundation of our keenest enjoyments. What among the ancient Greeks could have produced a stronger love of their institutions and country than the immor talizing these in the works of their best writers? And who, upon visiting the spot where any well-described event has had its scene, has not felt the whole past come over the soul, mingling and identifying itself in interest with the present. Men may have what opinions they please as to the moral good or evil of works of this kind; but love of country, as all other kinds of love, consists in the affection of the heart and the more that is brought into exercise by the excitement of its feelings.
