This article focuses on the deep affection of the English people for John G. Winant, who is regarded as "the American Ambassador." This affection stemmed from many causes. He had come to the island fortress at the hour when Britain stood alone. He had brought the promise, soon to be translated into acts, of the good-will and material assistance of the U.S. Winant did not achieve his great position by accident. Coming to New Hampshire a stranger, a rich man, a teacher in a fashionable boys' school, he became three times governor of that conservative state.
