Notizen zu dieser Person
REFN: 4127
Hon. George BANCROFT, eminent historian, is a relative. He was a very
prominent American, holding many high positions, among others having been
U.S. Minister to Great Britain and Germany at different times. While
Secretary of the Navy he was the driving force that finally succeeded in
establishing a Naval Academy at Annapolis. But he will be chiefly
remembered by posterity for his gigantic History of the United States
which, it might be said, was his life work.
