Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pennsylvania, the Keystone: A Short History This work gives in outline the history of Pennsylvania. It is the outcome of long special study with more than ordinary advantages. The author has here indicated his view of the manner in which that history ought to be presented with greater fulness and detail. Much of the story has been based upon original materials preserved in the Library of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania never before utilized. The facts which go to prove the unequalled influence of Pennsylvania in the development of American affairs are narrated, but comment and opinions are omitted. Many heretofore accepted conventions have upon investigation been discarded. And, using the language of a recent author, "I have been sparing of references that encumber the foot of a page like barnacles on the keel of a vessel and delay progress."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Two Centuries of Pennsylvania History Pennsylvania justly merits the proud title, The Key tone State. Her history more than her geography gave her commanding relations to the sister colonies clustered along the western margin of the Atlantic. Her great founder and first English owner, William Penn is the noblest character in America's colonial history. In Penn sylvania every creed and every nationality was not only tolerated but welcomed. Her colonial life was more com plex than that of any sister colony. To mould this life, so unlike in nationality, in religion, in civic ideals, and in industrial experience, into a unified people is one of the noblest records in the annals of any nation. To the credit of her people this was done without persecution and with out coercion. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Pennsylvania No other state in the Union presents a history so closely connected with world progress as Pennsylvania. Here are to be found the beginnings of many types of religions. Here was the first real experiment in popular government. Here have been developed the whole theory and practice of transportation and the intricate factory system. Pennsylvania has been the laboratory in which many important experiments in sociology, religion, and government have been performed. Local history has an appeal not easily found in works covering a larger sphere. In this book an effort has been made so to present the subject as to lead the pupil to a better understanding of our national history. Hence special emphasis has been laid upon the various incidents in the life of the nation which have taken place in Pennsylvania. To make these relations clear to the pupil it has often been necessary to mention events which have occurred in other states. This plan has been followed in the hope that this book may be used as an introduction to, and in connection with, a study of the history of the United States. In the arrangement of materials, the topical method of treatment has been employed. This has occasionally brought events out of their chronological order. This was done to make the relation of events clear to pupils. In addition it was thought that detached descriptions of incidents have a tendency to form the bad habit of committing history to memory, whereas a logical arrangement encourages a correct method of study. The author is indebted for assistance and encouragement to Hon. Nathan C. Schaeffer and Hon. A. D. Glenn. Special acknowledgment is made to Dr. J. George Becht, Hon. Reed B. Teitrick, and Miss Katherine M. Ulery, of the Greensburg High School, who carefully read all of the manuscript and made valuable corrections and suggestions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History and Civil Government of Pennsylvania The meaning Of a vote and the sacredness of the ballot can be taught in connection with many of the lessons in American history. The perpetuity Of a free government depends very largely upon the faith of the people in the purity and efficacy of the ballot. The boy who asked his teacher whether it is justifiable to accept money for doing what is right, say for an honest day's work. And if so, whether it is not justifiable to accept money for a vote provided one votes the right ticket, was sadly in need of instruction showing why the law has made it a crime either to buy or to sell a vote. An excellent point Of departure for a lesson on the wickedness of bribery is the famous reply of Gen. Joseph Reed: I am not worth purchasing; but such as I am, the King of Great Britain is not rich enough to buy me.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Collections of the State of Pennsylvania The proverb says Charity begins at home. The study of history ought to begin at home also yet how many men are there in this state, as in others, who are far more familiar with the history of England, or with the career of Alexander, Caesar, or Napoleon, than with the events that have occurred upon the very fields which they themselves are tilling And this arises not so much from the want of intelligence On the part of the people, as from the lack of proper books and documents within their reach. It is believed, therefore, that a Work of the kind here pre sented is needed by the intelligent yeomanry of the state, for whose use it is especially intended and the compiler hopes that, while it may serve to enliven their long winter evenings, it will awaken in their minds a spirit of inquiry into the history of their own immediate neighborhoods, and at the same time furnish them with a fund of instructive incidents relating to the more dis tant sections of the state.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Colonial Dames of America: In the State of Ohio, Pennsylvania These colonial studies represent a distinct and valuable contribution to the material needed for teaching that impor tant period of American History - the period extending from the settlement of the individual colony to its incorporation as a part of the American Republic. Each monograph attempts to set forth in a clear and simple manner the essen tial characteristics of the colony, the peculiar ideas and ideals of its people; and especially to make clear the part the colony played in the conﬂict with the mother country and its contribution toward the development of a national spirit, and a national government. When the state was born the colony ceased to exist, but the period preceding the framing and adoption of the Constitution is of tremendous impor tance. Without an understanding of the forces that were at work in that period, and of the reasons for these manifesta tions, we fail to clearly interpret the meaning of American history. For that reason the schools are under deep obliga tion to the Colonial Dames in the State of Ohio for the large service which they have undertaken in behalf of education in the preparation and publication of these monographs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pennsylvania, Province and State: A History From 1609 to 1790 As the French formed an alliance with the Indians during the war of 1755, so now did the British form an alliance with those whom twenty years before they sought to destroy. If the white settlers had brutalized and degraded them with rum, cheated them in trade, robbed them of their lands, and coarsely showed their mastery on every occasion, more than once did they pay a heavy penalty for their selfishness, shortsightedness and rascality. The American colonists feared the union of the Indians with the British, for they knew the nature of Indian warfare. An Indian was not a brave, open fighter, but a cowardly, mean one. Though hiding himself for days and weeks, and almost perishing with cold or hunger, to secure the chance of shooting his foe undiscovered, he was averse to forming into ranks and engaging in battle. Possessing a strong spirit of revenge, every white man knew that the Indian would prove relentless and untiring in compassing his destruction. It was now too late to win his good-will, for his spirit of revenge was at white heat His hour to lay low his despoiler had come.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Westmoreland: A History of Western Pennsylvania During the Revolution This book represents an effort to tell the revolutionary history of the Western Pennsylvania border; to describe the trials, the sacrifices, the errors and the heroisms of the frontiersmen, in their conﬂicts with tories, British par tisans and savages, during the years when Washington and his generals were fighting for independence along the Atlantic seaboard. The American Revolution covered many fields of action, and the operations on each con tributed to the grand result. The men who defended the western border against the savage tribes were doing their work essential to the cause of freedom as well as the ragged Continentals who faced British and Hessian battalions in New York or New Jersey. Naturally the operations in the East, where the main conﬂict raged and the issue was decided, have received the chief attention of historians; but the struggles on the west ern frontier have been unduly neglected. Some attention has been given to the revolutionary history of the New York and Tennessee frontiers, but no book tells, in con nected form, of the important operations in that great trans montane region of which Ft. Pitt was the center, during the years from 1775 to 1783. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
