Excerpt from Washington and His Men: Being the "Second Series" Of the Legends of the American Revolution, of "1776"
And the first great man laughed at the boast of the second. There was great reason for this laughter. Who would not sooner be descended from a King although a robber and assassin, than from a ragged Worker, who can boast no wealth save the heritage of want and hunger? For a King, although his hands are red with the blood of the innocent, and his fine apparel purchased with the misery of countless hearts, is yet a King; the head and fountain of all nobility. And a Serf, although his hands are unstained with blood, and his hard crust unpolluted by a single victim's tears, is still a Serf; the foundation stone of the world, on which Society is built; a very useful thing, but hidden in the darkness, by the great edifice of Wealth and Power.
