Historic Morgan Classic Jack PDF Download

Excerpt from Jack Morgan, a Boy of 1812 The story of the war In the west and on the Lakes can hardly be told too often. It is full of patriotic, heroic lessons. It cannot be understood at all, however, without keep ing in mind the fact that at the outbreak of the war there was no United States, for war purposes, north of Kentucky, and west of a line drawn down through the middle of Ohio. All west of that line was debatable land swarming with angry redmen This nation should keep forever green its memories Of such men as Harrison, Jackson, Chauncey, Perry, and others, to whom it is indebted for the freedom of the Great Lakes, for the Mis sissippi Valley, and, therefore, for the Rocky Mountains, the Pacific slope, and the islands of the sea.
