Book excerpt: Excerpt from Armstrong County, Vol. 1 of 2: Pennsylvania, Her People, Past and Present; Embracing a History of the County and a Genealogical and Biographical Record of Representative Families Local history affords the best method of preserving national history, and this is part of the story of American development; but personal biographies are of much greater assistance in linking the past with the present. The names of Armstrong's pioneers are indissolubly linked with those of their present descend ants; the work would be incomplete if reference to the citizens of the county now living were omitted. Many are the natives of this county who are more than locally famous. Few other divisions of this Commonwealth can show so varied a list of those whose works have made them prominent above their fellow citizens. He who expects to find the 'work entirely free from errors or defects has little knowledge of the difficulties attending the preparation of a work of this kind, and should indulgently bear in mind that it is much easier to be critical than to be correct. It is, therefore, trusted that the history will be received by the public in that generous spirit which is satisfied with honest and conscientious effort.
