The History Of Sutter's Fort, 1839-1931, Herbert D. Gwinn

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Of all the stories and articles written about Captain J.A. Sutter in recent years, not one of them has adequately covered the history of his famous Fort.

What, then, is there to write about?

These people have left us beautifully …

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The treaty to establish a protectorate over Haiti is another step by the United States in the Americanization of the Caribbean area. These extensions have become a fixed policy of the Department of States. The Republicans and Democrats heartily support the United States government in her program of expansion. Protests will continue, but once the United States gets in, she will stay in. Already she has gone far from the position that she occupied when she first went in.
