This, the only distinctively Ameri

jception hi the days when Brltlsli
greed, injustice and tyranny sought to
; lay Its Iron hsnd nf cum most upon the
native hunting grounds of America
(and awakened the hardy colonist to
a sense of self-preservation, rilled his
heart with a hope for freedom and
strcngthesed his srra with a deter
