Book Description
Excerpt from The Apostle of Peace: Memoir of William Ladd The greatest wealth of any country or age is the immortal lives it produces for itself and the world. There are rich and proud empires that look upon such lives as their peculiar and most precious treasure. For instance, England, so proud of an empire ten times as large as Alexander's or Caesar's, would give up India, with all its wealth of gold and pearl and precious stones, rather than alienate the koh-i-noor of Shakespeare's glory. She has a dozen other lives, some centuries old, which she would not sell out of her jewelry for such another dozen of the best colonies she wears around the neck of her empire. These and all her other colonies may be scattered from her, like unstrung beads, but all the revolutions that smite down thrones and crowns, and sever or shatter kingdoms, can never rob her of the immortal wealth of the great lives she has begotten for the good of mankind. Such lives are to nations the immediate jewels of their souls, and they make one common lustre for the race. No lives can be immortal that do not shine beyond the boundaries of one nation. The brightest stars in the heavens differ in glory only in circumference of light. The lives of great men differ only in the same measurements.

Book Description
In its first half century the United States was visited by scores of curious European travellers who came to investigate the strange new world that was being created in the Western Hemisphere. In their accounts of the experience they praised, or condemned, the institutions and national characteristics spread out before them, seized avidly upon all differences from the European norm, and worried each peculiarity beyond recognition and beyond any just limit of its importance. Americans themselves, with the keen sensitiveness of the young and the boasting enthusiasm natural to vigorous creators of new ideas and institutions, examined the work of their hands and, believing it good, reassured themselves and answered their calumniators in a flood of aggressive replies. Every American interested in a reform movement, a new cult, or a Utopian scheme burst into print, adding another to the rapidly growing list of polemic books and pamphlets. From this variety of sources, it is possible to recapture something of the inward spirit that gave rise to the more familiar and more tangible events of America’s youth.

Book Description
At the end of his weekly news-in-review program, Moore on Sunday beloved WCCO-TV newsanchor Dave Moore often signed off by reciting a poem. These poems, composed by Moore's son Peter and collected here for the first time, offer a fresh and funny take on the common and not-so-common stuff of our everyday lives. Reminiscent of Ogden Nash and Tom Lehrer, with a dash of Dr. Seuss, Peter Moore's verse captures the essence of his father's wit, common sense, honesty, and warmth.
