Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Canadian Pacific Railway Though bound to the United States by many friendships and by the love I bear my children, I am not one of its citizens. I have never ceased to be a British subject. The military rank I have the honor to have held in the United States was obtained when the State in whose service I won it had been in process of reconstruction. It was obtained, therefore, outside conditions which did not exist at the time within the limits of that State - outside conditions of citizenship. I give this explanation as a simple matter of fact, but certainly not in a sense of apology for my acceptance of a distinction whose obtainment is a subject of pride with better men.
