Excerpt from The Territorial Growth of the United States
Some of the chapters have a brief treatment because others seem to demand fuller and more minute considera tion. The history of the Louisiana Purchase and the acquisition' of the Oregon country are considered more at length because of the exceptional value of that history and because correct information upon these subjects has not been generally obtainable.
It is difficult to appreciate fully the importance of the service done to this country by Dr. Franklin, John Jay, and John Adams, in the delicate task of negotiating the treaty of peace with Great Britain; and by Robert R. Livingston and James Monroe in accomplishing the pur chase of the Louisiana province from the first Napoleon.
