Excerpt from The Kansas City Review, Vol. 9: Devoted to Science, Art, Industry and Literature; August 1885
These crises which drag the individual into prominence usually mark some disturbance which interferes with the nation's growth and develop ment. If we could imagine several communities of men, each born and reared under the same conditions, exposed to the same atmosphere and living on the same soil, their histories would be the same. With a little more knowledge of disturbing causes, even the history of the nations of to - day might be written impersonally. This is certainly all that can be asked of history in the highest sense of the term. To mark out the ideal line of progress under given conditions, to approximate to the reasons of variation in any particular nation, this is all that we can expect. More than this must be given over to the annalist and the antiquary, and really we do not lose much by doing this. We can learn more of humanity from the novel of today than from all the annals of ancient Rome, and, apart from the curiosity we might have, it would benefit us more to be intro duced to the living chieftains of the Zunis than to all the Pharaohs whose mummies have been unearthed.
