A survey contrasts the nation's mighty progress with the infant republic of a century ago. It reflects on the growth of the empire and the achievements shaping its current strength and global standing.
A detailed historical reflection traces Washington's 1789 inauguration in New York City and the early faith, challenges, and growth of the American republic. It lauds Madison, Jefferson, and Lincoln, highlighting the development of federal power, the economy, migration, and public schooling as core national pillars.
A sweeping historical reflection credits the Louisiana Purchase as a foundation for American expansion to the Pacific and argues continued growth through industry, immigration, and moral institutions. It notes rising factory output, wage comparisons, meat consumption, and improvements in transport, education, and governance, with references to Jefferson and Adams and projections into the twentieth century.
A collage of jokes and quips from era magazines touching on marriage, manners, gambling, and everyday quirks. Bits about a saloon boss as a vice president, onion smells, a dentist, and a schoolmaster note mix with brief dialogues and a short poem about a lovely woman.
A detailed portrait describes Washington as six two, 200 pounds, with enormous boots and hands, large joints, chestnut hair, and a muscular frame. His strength is famed, able to lift a heavy tent and fire a musket with one hand, though his lungs were weak and his teeth ill fitting. He eats heartily but restless hunger arouses anger.
