* Winsor's "Narrative and Critical History of America", vol. V, p. 357. The Savannah and Altamaha rivers and the wide and deep lands between fell in that grant of Charles II's to the eight Lords Proprietors of Carolina Albemarle, Clarendon, and the rest. But this region remained as yet unpeopled save by copper-hued folk.
I of the 'Original Narrative of Early American History', edited by J. F. Jameson; Fridtjof Nansen's 'In Northern Mists'; and John Fiske's 'The Discovery of America'. A number of general histories have chapters bearing on pre-Columbian discovery; the most accessible of these are: Justin Winsor's 'Narrative and Critical History of America'; Charlevoix's 'Histoire et description generale de la Nouvelle France' , translated with notes by J. G. Shea ; Henry Harrisse's 'Discovery of North America'; and the 'Conquest of Canada', by the author of 'Hochelaga'.
For further references and elaborate bibliographical discussions, see Winsor's Narrative and Critical History of America, vol. iii.; and his Memorial History of Boston, 4 vols., Boston, 1880. There is a good account of the principal New England writers of the seventeenth century, with illustrative extracts, in Tyler's History of American Literature, 2 vols., New York, 1878.
Of his books the volumes on the Puritan colonies are distinctly of a higher order than his volume on the southern colonies. The chief merit of Winsor's work is the critical chapters and parts of narrative chapters, which are invaluable.
After using, he dries that cup off with an ancient bandana, which I am quite sure has been used for ten years; but fortunately he does not offer me a drink. Winsor's Ranch marks the end of the wagon road up the cañon.
On the Caucus see Whitridge's The Caucus System, published as "Economic Tract" No. 8, by the Society for Political Education, New York. Political Parties. Winsor's Narrative and Critical History of America contains a short history of political parties by Professor Alexander Johnston. See also Johnston's admirable manual, History of American Politics, a book especially adapted for school use.
I seem to see him everywhere when we're campaigning. Moreau was going to eat his heart out next time they met, I believe." "So he said," grinned Blake, "before Winsor's bullet fetched him. Pity it hadn't killed instead of crippling him." "He's a bad lot," sighed the general. "Wing won't fly away from Kennedy, I fancy." "Not if there's a shot left in his belt," said Blake.
Schreiber had just come sliding, stumbling, down from Winsor's perch to say they could hear faint sound of sharp volleying far out to the eastward, where the warriors, evidently, were trying to "stand off" Webb's skirmish line until the travois with the wounded and the escort of the possible prisoners should succeed in getting back out of harm's way and taking surer and higher trail into the thick of the wilderness back of Bear Cliff.
Joseph was not a conquest at all, but an unimportant plundering raid. The peace negotiations are best discussed in John Jay's chapter thereon, in the seventh volume of Winsor's "Narrative and Critical History of North America." Sparks' account is fundamentally wrong on several points.
For an account of the causes leading to revolution written from an essentially English standpoint, see Lecky's History of England in the Eighteenth Century, Vol. Articles of Confederation. Best upon this subject are: Curtis' History of the Constitution; Marshall's Life of Washington; Bancroft's History of the United States; and Winsor's Narrative and Critical History of America, Vol.
