The Story of the Man without a Country will be remembered and read as
long as the American flag flies, and it will continue to do good to
successive generations of young Americans.... What a splendid work
of imagination and patriotism that story is! Its theme is vital, and
consequently its influence is perennial.--_New York Sun_ (_Editorial_).
It is so full of a lofty patriotism, so full of subtle suggestions that
would mean nothing to a foreigner but that move our hearts strangely,
that to read it is to grow prouder than ever of the country and the
flag.--_Cincinnati Commercial Gazette._
The moral of the story may be found in Nolan’s own pitiful words to
a young sailor: “And for your country, boy, and for that flag, never
dream a dream but of serving her as she bids you, though the service
carry you through a thousand hells. No matter what happens to you, no
matter who flatters you or who abuses you, never look at another flag,
never let a night pass but you pray God to bless that flag. Remember,
boy, that behind all these men you have to do with, behind officers and
government and people even, there is the country herself, your country,
and that you belong to her as you belong to your own mother.”
