Abstract

A 1913 edition of the British magazine Puck features a two-page, full-color cartoon depicting Uncle Sam astride the Isthmus of Panama and the nearly completed Panama Canal. The cartoon also shows the pyramids of Egypt, the hanging gardens of Babylon, and other familiar human creations. Its caption reads, The seven wonders of the world salute the eighth. Cradled in Uncle Sam\u27s arm is a figure, a saluting, white-haired, white-suited mustachioed man with the name Goethals printed on his collar. This is my great-grandfather, chief engineer of the Panama Canal
