An American Emperor: The Story Of The Fourth Empire Of France is a historical novel written by Louis Tracy and published in 1897. The story is set in the year 1900 and revolves around the rise of a new empire in France, led by an American businessman named John Templeton. Templeton, who has made his fortune in the steel industry, becomes enamored with France and decides to use his wealth and influence to establish a new monarchy in the country. With the help of his loyal followers, including a young French woman named Jeanne, Templeton sets out to conquer the hearts and minds of the French people and establish himself as their new emperor. However, his plans are met with resistance from the existing ruling class, who fear his power and influence. The novel is a fascinating exploration of power, politics, and the human desire for greatness, and is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of France or the rise of American imperialism in the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
