“‘Soldiers of fortune’ is very different from the kind of sham history we are often given under such a title. It is not tawdry or sensational; the author observes it as a point of honour with himself never to make what seems to him the truth lopsided in order that it may be more exciting.”

“The book as a whole is a study of national development, dealing not with the questions of constitutional law that vexed the minds of the fathers, but with the practical difficulties that democracy has continuously encountered in its attempt to realize the national ideals in the American environment. Immigration and race questions, problems relating to our public lands, party machinery, the regulation of the railroads and the great industrial trusts, the tariff, the currency, foreign policy, and territorial expansion are all discussed from the point of view of the journalist and man of affairs.”—R. of Rs.
