A long reminiscence recounts John Calhoun's rise as secretary of state and his drive to annex Texas and Oregon. Helena von Ritz, a baroness and alleged confidante of Pakenham, influences diplomacy, aiding Trist and guiding England’s ambitions. The narrative traces treaties, California gold, and the Civil War’s watershed, praising Calhoun as a principled statesman and attributing vast territorial gains to his career. Elizabeth and the author reflect on fate, democracy, and the peoples who forged America.
