   This region (Tours) has been signalized by more than one memorable   
   conflict ; but it is principally interesting to the historian by   
   having been the scene of the great victory won by Charles Martel over   
   the Saracens, A.D. 732, which gave a decisive check to the career of   
   Arab conquest in Western Europe, rescued Christendom from Islam,   
   preserved the relics of ancient and the germs of modern civilization,   
   and re-established the old superiority of the Indo-European over the   
   Semitic family of mankind.   
      
   Although three centuries had passed away since the Germanic conquerors   
   of Rome had crossed the Rhine, never to repass that frontier stream,   
   no settled system of institutions or government, no amalgamation of   
   the various races into our people, no uniformity of language or habits   
   had been established in the country at the time when Charles Martel   
   was called to repel the menacing tide of Saracenic invasion from the   
   south.
