A classic study in the origin of the European peoples in America, told not in terms of leaders, but rather in terms of geographic, cultural, political and social development. Starting where his Volume I in the series left off, the author discusses the settlement of America, and the subsequent expansion west to California. Drawing upon his own personal recollections as a doctor serving during the Plains Wars, this book follows the issues of slavery, Indian Wars and the cultural and political development of early America. He concludes with some now dated predictions of the future, but the work's value remains in providing a fascinating window into the time of "Manifest Destiny" and the conquering of the West. "Three parallel streams of Aryan blood, separate and distinct from each other, crossed the Atlantic to the New World in quest of homes: upon the south, the Ibero-Latin-Spaniardupon the north, the Celto-Latin Frenchmanmidway between, a mixed stream of Teutonic peoples. Of these three the Spaniard had the start of the Teuton by a centurythe Frenchman by some years. What became of these different streams of Aryan blood in the new lands, under new climatic conditions, with changed physical surroundings, in a vastly broader field of action, is the question which lies before us. As they had clashed and battled, the one against the other in the older home for supremacy and dominion, so they clashed and battled in the new. It was only the old conflict transferred to new fields."
