Westward Human Progress and Mississippi Flood Refuge
A fragmented 19th century discourse traces human origins in Southwestern Asia and traces civilization’s rise through Caucasian and other lineages. It notes U S resilience and prosperity, then shifts to a severe Mississippi River flood assault spanning Kansas to Arkansas, with thousands displaced, crops ruined, and calls for relief and an extra legislative session to fund aid.

Giants and historic figures from ancient to modern times
A sprawling excerpt surveys legendary heights and tall men from antiquity to modern times, naming figures such as the Brazilian coast giant, M. Thevet, the Irish giant, and Chang tu Sing, then shifts to a tale of John Bishop and the poor, revealing a mortgage forgiveness after a disguise by a visiting traveler who learns real wealth lies in empathy and shared humanity, concluding with a political dispatch on Grant memorial events and a House debate. The piece also touches on Polk’s will invalidation and a South Carolina defense of the South in Congress.
