Excerpt from Addresses Delivered Before the Society of Colonial Wars in the State of Iowa: King William's War; Colonial Days of Iowa; Fall of Louisburg; Memorial Address on the Death of the Rt. Revd; William Stevens Perry Upon the discovery of America, every portion of the continent fell under European domination. For three centuries the history of America is an elongation of European history, and in no por tion independent of it until 1776. Colonies from the Old World took possession of the New. In the course of two centuries, large portions of America were known as New Spain, or New France; a little portion as New England. The former names have disappeared; the latter remains; and may remain in times afar. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
