Excerpt from Elements of Civil Government of the State of Michigan Settlements of Bush-rangers. Before the end of the seventeenth century the wandering bush-rangers made straggling and irregular settlements where fancy and trade directed or in places that would prevent the en-3 trance of the English into Michigan, which was the home of the beaver. The wandering Frenchmen often forgot all the restraints of civilized life when they escaped into this western wilderness. They took upon themselves the habits of the savages with whom they associated, often married Indian wives, and lived a listless, happy, careless life. Their settlements were of little moment in building up the country or Winning it for civilization, but the descendants of these bush-rangers, or the re tired watermen who had traversed with their canoes the western lakes and rivers, formed an element of no little importance in the early history of Michigan as an American province.

(Excerpt from The Great War From Spectator to Participant,...)
Excerpt from The Great War From Spectator to Participant, by Andrew C. McLaughlin The attempts of German propagandists to justify the invasion showed an astonishing inability or unwillingness to make frank use of public documentary material. Docu ments found in the Belgium archives showed that some years ago an English military officer and a Belgium official had consulted together as to what steps England should take in case Germany invaded Belgium. After Germany had done the very thing which England and Belgium had feared, German propagandists tried to justify her by declaring that Belgium was considering means of preventing it. The use made of the documents actually affronted our intelligence and added to our distrust. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Andrew Cunningham McLaughlin was born on February 14, 1861, in Beardstown, Illinois. He was the youngest of the five sons of David McLaughlin and Isabella (Campbell) McLaughlin, both from Scotland. When Andrew was a baby, the family moved to Muskegon, Mich. , where his father kept a store and doubled as superintendent of schools.
In 1878, Andrew entered the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, the first boy from Muskegon to go to college. Graduating in 1882, McLaughlin returned to Muskegon as principal of the local high school; the following year he went back to Ann Arbor to take a law degree at what was then the largest and the best law school west of Harvard. There he came under the influence of Judge Thomas Cooley, author of the already classic Constitutional Limitations; when in 1887 Cooley went to Washington to be chairman of the new Interstate Commerce Commission, McLaughlin, who had been teaching Latin, shifted to the history department, taking over his mentor's classes in constitutional history. In 1893-1894, McLaughlin spent a year studying in Germany, but he was never as deeply influenced by German historical or political scholarship as were some of his future colleagues at the University of Chicago.
Although from the beginning, McLaughlin taught constitutional history, his early books explored the history of the Old Northwest: a biography of Lewis Cass for the American Statesman series (1899) and volumes on government and on education in Michigan. In 1901, he became managing editor of the American Historical Review, a post that he held for five years, and in 1903, he moved to Washington to head up the new Bureau of Historical Research of the Carnegie Institution. It was during these busy years that he wrote for the American Nation series The Confederation and the Constitution (1905), a revisionist view that sharply challenged John Fiske's interpretation of the Critical Period of American History and that anticipated many of the theories of the origin and nature of American federalism McLaughlin was later to make peculiarly his own. The Confederation and the Constitution won immediate academic acclaim, and the following year McLaughlin was confronted with a choice of professorships at his own university, Yale, Johns Hopkins, Stanford, and Chicago. The offer by President William Rainey Harper of Chicago proved irresistible; for the next thirty years, as chairman of the history department, he was instrumental in making it one of the most distinguished in the nation. Long a member of the Council of the American Historical Association, McLaughlin became president of that organization in 1914. In 1929, he retired formally from his professorship, but he continued for another decade to hold seminars and guide doctoral candidates in his chosen field. With the possible exception of Edward S. Corwin no other scholar presided over so many doctorates in the field of constitutional history or sent out so many disciples into the schools and universities of the land as did McLaughlin. Notwithstanding a heavy burden of teaching and administration, McLaughlin kept up his research and writing in his chosen field, contributing regularly to learned journals and occasionally to the less learned. Several of his books, including Courts, Constitution, and Parties (1912) and America and Britain (1919), were made up of previously published articles. Foundations of American Constitutionalism (1932), the Anson Phelps lectures at New York University, remains the most original and provocative of his books. As director of the Bureau of Historical Research, McLaughlin launched a systematic search for original materials in the libraries and archives of Europe as well as of the United States and inaugurated a series of editorial projects, the most important of which was an edition (carried to completion by Edmund Burnett) of the letters of members of the Continental Congress. In 1914, he associated himself with Albert Bushnell Hart in editing a three-volume Cyclopaedia of American Government (1914), which maintained a consistently high level of scholarly and critical acumen.
McLaughlin's magisterial Constitutional History of the United States, was awarded a Pulitzer Prize. It summed up with intellectual vigor and literary grace a lifetime of research and reflection, and remained for decades the most penetrating and philosophical, although far from the most comprehensive, treatment of that subject.

From his earliest writings to the end of his long career, McLaughlin had an instinct for the jugular vein of history and constitutional law. He was not seduced by the temptations of antiquarianism or the appeals of filiopietism, nor by the importunities of either economic or psychological interpretations. Like the British constitutionalist Frederic Maitland, whom in many respects he resembled, he presented an orderly sequence of facts in history for philosophical rather than narrative purposes; he was concerned with the consequential and the significant and with ideas and events as they found expression in practices and transformed themselves into institutions. He seized on central themes and worried them until they yielded conclusions or even laws: the theme of nation-making, of the federal character of the old British Empire, of the sacred character of the compact in Puritan political theory. And he saw in the effort to reconcile liberty and order the grand and controlling theme of politics. McLaughlin, a child of the Victorian era and of Scottish Presbyterianism, was confident that history could teach lessons, even moral lessons, and that, rightly studied, it could trace cause and effect. In philosophy an unregenerate liberal, he saw in American history a vindication of faith in reason, of the triumph of law, and of the principle of progress. In an age that was disenchanted with the work of the Founding Fathers, he celebrated their enduring contributions; in an age when it was popular to interpret the Constitution as a conservative reaction to the American Revolution, he emphasized the unity and coherence of the whole Revolutionary era; in an age that embraced, somewhat uncritically, the Turnerian emphasis on environment, he persisted in emphasizing rather the role of inheritance, tradition, and continuity. The loss of his son Rowland, killed in action in France in 1918, the failure of Wilsonian idealism, and the repudation of the League of Nations severely tried McLaughlin's faith and optimism, yet he did not give way to cynicism or despair. His last major work, the Constitutional History, revealed the same Jeffersonian faith in the reasonableness and virtue of the common man especially the American common man that illuminates his earliest writings.
In his character, his scholarly interests, his intellectual and moral commitments, the pattern of McLaughlin's life was harmonious.
On June 16, 1890, McLaughlin married Lois Thompson Angell, daughter of President James B. Angell of the University of Michigan. Their children were James Angell, Rowland Hazard, David Blair, Constance Winsor, Esther Lois, and Isabella Campbell.
