Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Decisive Episodes in Western History an Address Delivered at Iowa City Iowa Before the State Historical Society of Iowa on February, Twenty-First Nineteen Hundred Fourteen
And like unto this is History. In it we see the perspective of once current events and relations, which have drifted into the past, where all minor and merely personal incidents are obliterated; and over which tradition, in its quality of mercy, spreads the haze which softens down the hard lines and blends the inharmonious tints that ever mar the present.
