Excerpt from The Typical American

There is scarcely a man whose name is connected with the early colonization of North America that is not noble and memorable. There was the brilliant and unhappy Raleigh. There was Captain John Smith, a man with the soul of a Crusader. There was William Penn, ever acting in the spirit of his own conviction that the weak, the just, the pious, the devout are all of one religion. There was Bradford, the stern governor. There was Oglethorpe, with 'his strong benevolence of soul.' There was the hero of the Indian Wars, Miles Standish. There was Roger Williams, the founder of Providence. There were Winthrop and Endicott, the worthy founders of worthy lines. - farrar, I was born an American; I live an American; I shall die an American. - webster.
