| | Old Homes of New Americans, Chapter 2 |
 | | Bohemia is interesting to every reader, because of its, thrilling history, replete with deeds of patriotic courage, and because of its sturdy, industrious, progressive people, who, against terrific odds, are again reviving the ancient glories of their race. |
 | | Bohemia is especially interesting to the American reader, since there are at least four hundred thousand men, women, and children of Bohemian parentage in America, of whom more than one half were born on Bohemian soil, and because this great army is reinforced by an average of more than ten thousand new recruits every year. |
 | | John Ziska, who was of about the same age as John Huss, survived him by nearly ten years, and died of the plague near the Moravian frontier, whither he was marching at the head of his victorious army. |
