Every land has its George Washington, its Kosciusko, its William
Tell, its Garibaldi, its Kossuth, if there is but one that has a
Joan d'Arc. These were my -- our -- heroes. Every lad of Northern
blood, whose heart is in the right place, loves them. And he need
make no excuses for any of them. Nor has he need of bartering them
for the great of his new home; they go very well together. It is
partly for his sake I have set their stories down here. All too
quickly he lets go his grip on them, on the new shore. Let him keep
them and cherish them with the memories of the motherland. The
immigrant America wants and needs is he who brings the best of the
old home to the new, not he who threw it overboard on the voyage.
In the great melting-pot it will tell its story for the good of us
all. . . . -- JACOB A. RIIS
