British dreadnaughts nosed unobtrusively toward Scapa Flow. German cruisers clotted at Kiel...."Ninety-four years of America's turgid adolescence! And some fifty of them spent in the thick of national affairs...."Down the roaring decades that blent a score of polyglot peoples to a new breed, thrust Mexico across the Rio Grande and Colorado, Canada beyond the Columbia, the West out to mid-Pacific, his was a stormy, dramatic figure in Congress, on the battlefield, at the courts of Madrid and St. James's, in the palacios nacionales of Colombia, Panama, Peru...."
