Excerpt from Holiday Facts and Fancies: Full Yet Simple Explanations of the American Holidays In a far-away land, in a long-ago time, lived some people who were called the Romans. They were great fighters, and were never so happy as when at war with their neighbors. Then, when they won in the fight, as they generally did, because they had so many well-trained soldiers, they took to themselves the land and everything else belonging to the people who were beaten. You know, even in these wonderful days of the twentieth century, we are only beginning to think that there may be a better way to settle our troubles with the world than to shed human blood. So it is not strange that they knew no better in those far-off times. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
