More Reflecting on History . . .

Davie Crockett     Douglas Frederick     Theadore Roosavelt

"What is all history but the work of ideas,
a record of incomparable energy which his infinite aspirations
infuse into man?
In its pages it is always persons we see more than principles.
Historical events are interesting to us mainly in connection with feelings,
the sufferings, and interests of those by whom they are accomplished.
In history we are surrounded by men, long dead,
but whose speech and whose deeds survive . . . " 
~ Ralph Waldo Emmerson
