Excerpt from The Star of Empire "Its annual production of coal and petroleum is in excess of the country's production thirty years ago. "In 1880, - $78.004,637 was spent for common schools in the United States. Today the South is spending close to $50,000,000 annually upon common schools. "It is notable that the value this year (1909) of farm products of the South is nearly One Hundred Million Dollars more than the value of farm products of the whole country in 1890, not including animals slaughtered. Yet during this period of phenomenal development. the population increased only 67.6 per cent. "This wonderful advance in agriculture of 256.6 per cent., in twenty years in the South is a promise of what Southern agriculture, with increased population, is to achieve in the future." South's Future - Its Farms Predicting a remarkable future for the South because of its coming agricultural development, James Wilson, Secretary of Agriculture, in an address to the Southern Commercial Congress, declared that the most pressing problem the Southern States have to consider at this time is their agriculture. "The South with the wealth that must come to it. if it follow economic lines," he said, "will soon be living in a period of prosperity undreamed of by the age preceding you. In that period I shall expect to see you credited with more cotton than you now produce and with two or three billion bushels of corn instead of one billion. Your dairy products will mount into the millions, and your poultry products will supply a nation. Of fruits, no man can conceive of what this vast country may do for the world. It has such a variety of soil and climate, its rivers all flow to the sea, - it is comparatively free from extraordinary tempests, and all that is necessary is to have confidence in yourselves and in your soil and take advantage of opportunities that are offered you." - Savanuah Morning News, March 8, 1911. The Richest Part Of The United States In an interview in Chicago recently, Mr. Champ Clark, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, said: "Believe me, the South is the poor man's land and you will live to see the day when the South is going to be the richest part of the United States."

Excerpt from The Path of Empire The peopling of Siberia will be done otherwise. At present there is an annual surplus in the Russian birth rate Of I, 61 3, 000. The population of Russia doubles In sixty years, so that about the middle of this century there will be more Russians on the earth than at the time of the last census in 1897. There is much Similarity to the Russian plan Of peaceful campaign, in the motives which have prompted the Japanese to build the railway from Fusan to Seoul, and much of the same results that it has effected, may be seen being effected there. The railway lines which are opening up China are no less interesting. I would be the last to advocate a policy of territorial aggression in the East - we want to do business there, not to acquire terri tory, or to have the burden Of government upon us. It is in the direction of Opening up the country to trade that all Our efforts should be concentrated, and the work of our diplomatists ought to be directed more than they are, to furthering our commercial interests. If China were con vinced that the Powers wanted no more territory, she would be the more inclined to open her doors for trade. With regard to the three provinces of China, comprising Manchuria, which Russia has now practically annexed, if it is not now too late, the strongest diplomatic pressure, ought to be brought to bear to insist on this immense and rich territory, the importance Of whose resources we do not fully realise, being thrown Open to the trade of the world. When Russia is being allowed to break her solemn promise to evacuate it, such a condition is the least compensation that might be looked for.

The Fruits of Empire is a history of American expansion through the lens of art and food. In the decades after the Civil War, Americans consumed an unprecedented amount of fruit as it grew more accessible with advancements in refrigeration and transportation technologies. This excitement for fruit manifested in an explosion of fruit imagery within still life paintings, prints, trade cards, and more. Images of fruit labor and consumption by immigrants and people of color also gained visibility, merging alongside the efforts of expansionists to assimilate land and, in some cases, people into the national body. Divided into five chapters on visual images of the grape, orange, watermelon, banana, and pineapple, this book demonstrates how representations of fruit struck the nerve of the nation’s most heated debates over land, race, and citizenship in the age of high imperialism.
Excerpt from The Star of Empire: Phases of the Westward Movement in the Old Southwest On December 11, 1750, near the North Mountain, in the vicinity of Hagerstown, Maryland, was born Isaac Shelby, distinguished figure in the history of the Old Southwest - the second son and third child of Evan Shelby and his first wife, Letitia Cox. Endowed with the iron constitution of his father, young Shel-by was reared in a martial atmosphere and early adapted himself to the strenuous life of the pioneer. Upon their removal to King's Meadows, near Bristol, the Shelbys herded and grazed cattle on an extensive scale along the Vir ginia border. At Shelby's Station, the fort built by Evan Shelby, where hundreds were sometimes forted during the Revolution, the Shelbys kept a store; and here Daniel Boone, according to records still preserved, purchased supplies in preparation for his ill - fated expedition in 1773.
