down the long path of history, cramping across centuries and continents, and the graves of kings and the necks of dictators, seeking always a way of life where the people have their freedom, believing, praying, fighting, dying.

We came this way. The NBC University of the Air, a public service feature of the National Broadcasting Company and its affiliated stations, presents We Came This Way, a new historical series for our listeners at home and overseas with Kithnaatli as narrator.

We present Chapter 6, the story of Giuseppe Garavaldi, the hero of two worlds in We Came This Way. There's a flame that has been burning a thousand years, or maybe a thousand thousands, and no one has ever been able to put it out.

kings and emperors and tyrants and despots and demagogues and dictators have tried to extinguish it. It burns more fiercely today than ever before. It burned in the soul of the men who went to Spain to fight on the side of the loyalist in 1936. It burned in the men who joined the Chinese when they stood alone against the Japanese. It burned in Barita Juarez in Coshusco in La

in the south of Yap, in George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, and in the souls of millions who, except God, shall be forever nameless. And it burned in the soul of Giuseppe Garibaldi. He is an outlaw and a cotron.

He is a pirate, who knows who follow him or the dregs of the human race. He is an early term politician if experts you be in, but Garibaldi is no biker. That's the way they were talking about Garibaldi in the diplomatic circles of Europe in 1860.
