I have in my library a book I obtained several years ago entitled “The World’s Famous Orations”, edited by William Jennings Bryan, copyright 1906 by Funk & Wagnalls Company.  The volume I have is the eighth of ten.  It contains some familiar orations, such as Patrick Henry’s Give me Liberty or Give me death speech, and many not so familiar orations, such as those given by Native Americans on various occasions regarding the manner in which they had been treated.
