Henry Cabot Lodge
Henry Cabot Lodge was an influential American statesman, historian, and writer, best known for his role in U.S. foreign policy during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. As a close ally of Theodore Roosevelt, Lodge was a leading advocate for American imperialism and played a significant role in the Senate's rejection of the Treaty of Versailles. He authored several historical works, including "Hero Tales from American History" and "The History of the American Revolution." Lodge's staunch opposition to the League of Nations marked him as a key figure in the debate over America's role in international affairs.

But to sketch the life of Washington even in the barest...

CHAPTER I To know George Washington, we must first of all understand the society in which he was born and brought up. As certain lilies draw their colors from the subtle qualities of the soil hidden beneath the water upon which they float, so are men profoundly affected by the obscure and insensible influences which surround their childhood and youth. The art of the chemist may discover perhaps the...
