Excerpt from Looking Forward, or Glimpse by an Observer of the Past, Present and Probable Future of Our Country, Politically
The intelligence, enterprise, patience and pluck manifested by Cyrus W. Field in overcoming the great obstacle that confronted him in laying the Atlantic cable, and the success he achieved in that great and land able undertaking will be forever honored and respected on earth and in Heaven. But the kind of intelligence, enterprise and pluck manifested bv Jesse James, and the success he achieved, will be charitably erased from the record of human events, as a humiliating and shameful evi dence of man's depravity.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the societal and political conditions in the United States in the years following the American Revolution. The author juxtaposes the revolutionary ideals of liberty, equality, and opportunity against the reality of widespread poverty, political corruption, and economic inequality in the late 19th century. Through the eyes of disillusioned revolutionary war veterans who time travel to the future, the book exposes the stark contrast between the promises of the nation's founding and the hardships faced by many Americans, particularly farmers and laborers. It delves into the machinations of wealthy elites, corporations, and political machines, highlighting their role in perpetuating injustice and economic disparity. The author delves into the psychological impact of poverty, oppression, and disillusionment, painting a vivid portrait of the human toll exacted by systemic failures. Ultimately, the book challenges readers to confront the gap between the ideals of the American Revolution and the realities of the present day, urging them to reflect on the ongoing struggle for true equality and economic justice.
