Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Not illustrated. 1886 edition. Excerpt: ...for the Indians he sent the gold with which he was to pay the traders due from the Indians, to New York, and received in lieu thereof bills on the Bank of North America, and with these he paid the traders, not the Indians, when he should have paid in gold. These charges were referred to Gov. Gorman to take testimony, and I shall never forget my first impression of the man, as I saw him " clothed with a little brief authority," and strutting the stage like a monarch of all he surveyed. A tall, large-boned young man, named Dow, was secretary of the investigating committee, and from day to day the testimony was received until at last it was all in, and then Gorman went off into one of those peculiar Democratic tirades for which he was so noted, and in which he prophesied that Ramsey would be totally annihilated, politically and otherwise, but the quiet, wily, discreet Governor slipped off to Washington slyly and when the testimony was received he was there to refute it, and the result was Congress exonerated him entirely from all blame. Gorman was shocked; Ramsey was pleased. Gorman raved; Ramsey smiled. The bucking propensities of the Irish-American Governor were met by the bucking propensities of the Scotch-German Ex-Governor, and a half was called, and by a sort of mutual consent the matter was finally dropped and new political issues arose to call into action strong and vigorous opposition on the part of these two prominent men.

Excerpt from Illustrated Album of Biography of Pope and Stevens Counties, Minnesota: Containing Biographical Sketches of Hundreds of Prominent Old Settlers and Representative Citizens The year 1774 'soon arrived, with its fa mous Boston Tea Party, the first open act of rebellion. Adams was sent to the Congress at Philadelphia; and when the attorney-general announced that Great Britain had determined on her system, and that her power to execute it was irre sistible, Adams replied: I know that Great Britain has determined on her sys tem, and that very determination deter mines me on mine. You know that I have been constant in my opposition to her measures. The die is now cast. I have passed the Rubicon. Sink or swim, live or die, with my country, is my unalterable determination. The rumor beginning to prevail at Philadelphia that the Congress had independence in view, Adams foresaw that it was too soon to declare it openly. He advised every one to remain quiet in that respect; and as soon as it became ap parent that he himself was for independ ence, he was advised to hide himself, which he did.
