Alexander Ramsey appeared at the right time, and under the right conditions, for his usefulness and his fame. His edu cation, his experience, his discipline, prior to his. Advent on this soil as an empire builder, were such that it would seem fate her self had prepared him for his destiny.
If characters are modified by physical scenery around them, then Ramsey was fortunate in the home Of his youth. He came from the grand old state of Pennsylvania, settled by the English, the Scotch, and the German. He was from the Chestnut Ridges and Laurel Hills Of the lovely Susquehanna. The blue tops of the great Appalachian range filled his youthful eye. The story Of William Penn had stamped its impress on the state, and Indian legends and Indian treaties were a part of the tradi tions Of every Pennsylvania boy.
