Extract

Picture a vast territory whose soil is peopled by European colonists, while military conquest places the natives in a position of total dependence. Settlers from all parts of the parent state and from other countries as well form, at first, an inorganic mass of families arbitrarily placed side by side and differing from one another in all aspects as to place of origin, mental attitudes, habits, way of life.

Ferry in Le Gouvernement de I'Algerie (Paris, 1892), p. 8: "They were no ordinary men, these intrepid Algerian planters who, despite usury and phylloxera, moved endlessly forward, wherever there was a road and a bit of arable land, planting their long rows of green vines … as if hastening to show, by this most French of all crops, that they were taking peaceful and definitive possession of African soil, in the name of France."
