America's Insular Possessions, Vol. 1 of 2 (Classic Reprint)
Author: Charles Harcourt Forbes-Lindsay
Publisher: Forgotten Books
ISBN: 9780265566282
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 656
Book Description
Excerpt from America's Insular Possessions, Vol. 1 of 2 The following pages treat of the American posses sions abroad, including the Philippine Islands, to which a separate volume has been devoted. The chapter on the Great Antilles is justified by our intimate relations to the alien islands of the group and their historical and commercial connection with Porto Rico. Guam occupies what may seem to be an undue amount of space in the book, because there is no popular description of that little island extant, and its history is only to be gathered piecemeal from a number of works inaccessible to the general reader. Moreover, Guam is destined to become in the future a possession of no little importance to the United States. The section on Panama and the Canal covers the story of the enterprise from its inception to the point at which the form of the waterway was finally decided upon and its construction definitely begun. The section includes a description of the Canal as it will ultimately be built. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
