Winning The Southwest PDF Download

Excerpt from Winning the Southwest: A Story of Conquest The political and social forces of the region lying west of the Mississippi have not yet been measured. Only as the American nation continues to grow do these forces assert their vital importance in shaping the destiny of this Republic. And who can gainsay the might of the Southwest as a vitally integral part of our national domain? Hence a story of the acquisition of this great section, the Southwest, seems worth while. The expansion of empire is always fraught with romance. No literature of any race can surpass in human interest the story of the advance of the Anglo-Saxon across this continent. It is with the acquirement of that great area called the Southwest that this little book briefly deals. No attempt has been made to give an exhaustive, sequential account of this conquest. Adequately to produce such a work would require volumes of space. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
