Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

In his later years he contemplated writing his mem oirs, but deferred too long. The task was then undertaken by Goethals' close friend and Roosevelt's biographer, my father, Joseph Bucklin Bishop. But he, Joseph Bishop, was already advanced in age. Eighty years old, he had marched at half - step behind the caisson and stood uncovered beside the open grave, in midwinter, on the day of Goethals' funeral at West Point. His physician, Dr. Alexander Lam bert, dated his declining health from that hour. When my father died, after writing the opening pages of the fifth chapter of this book, history suffered a loss. No living man knows what he knew about Goethals and Roosevelt and the other actors, great and small, before and behind the scenes, where he himself played an important part. Had he lived to write of that great period of Goethals' life, the build ing of the Panama Canal, my father would have been xi] PREFACE able to relate a more intimate story. I have taken the responsibility of publishing for the first time excerpts from my father's confidential reports to President Roosevelt. For permission to quote from these reports I am indebted to Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt. To their cus todian at the Library of Congress, Mrs. E. K. Fitzpatrick, I wish to express my gratitude for her zealous aid. The Goethals family have given me unrestricted access to the General's papers, filed and arranged most carefully by his private secretaries. Colonel George R. Goethals has assisted in checking technicaldetails. The Roosevelt Memorial Associa tion has given me a quiet room, the use of the library, and the services of the entire staff of Roosevelt House, who have done everything possible to help me. Permission has been granted by Charles Scribner's Sons for the incorporation in this book of material from Joseph Bucklin Bishop's The Panama Gate way, including the excerpt from Trautwine's Pri vate Notes, and J. B. Bishop's Notes and Anecdote's of Many Years; by the Century Company, for material from my Panama Past and Present and articles in the Century Magazine and in Wri
