Excerpt from The Life of General H. Havelock, K. C. B
It may seem strange that a full and extended biography of so distinguished a general as Havelock should be first attempted by an American. But it must be remembered that belong to the race, and are not the exclusive property of any nation. The more fact that when the news of his death reached this country, the flags of the shipping in the port of New York were hung at half-mast - a mark of respect never before shown at the death of any chieftain or potentate of the Old World - shows how deeply the sympathies of the American people were enlisted in his career.
