Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Historical Account the Pocono Region of Pennsylvania Probably the truest estimate of Penn's peace policy with the Indians is obtained by considering that he neither originated the policy nor first introduced it into practical use, but that he was the first who gave it such prominence in the establishment of the Province as to instil into it a real dynamic force. A forcible illustration of similar conditions in modern times is furnished in Mr. Roosevelt's identification with anti-trust legisla tion, for notwithstanding the fact that he neither originated it, nor did he originally enforce it, yet he so aroused the public mind on the subject at a peculiar psychological period in the history of the nation, as to practically regenerate the anti-trust policy of the government, and under President Taft's administration of law and reason it became a distinct moral question to be reckoned with by all parties.

Excerpt: ...of all parties engaged, but the writer has failed to find any reliable evidence to support the charge that behind the brutality of the Proprietaries' actions was the sordid land-lust of the Quakers.41 Moravian Missions to the Indians. In preparing a historical account of a subject about which tradition is silent and no records exist except of the most general character, a writer is fully justified in utilizing such information as may be obtainable by reasonable deduction and inferences. Such a modus operandi, openly avowed, cannot mislead; and it is from the source thus opened that a connection is deducible between the Pocono region and one of the most glorious and elevating pages of American history, albeit seldom referred to and little appreciated--the Moravian Missions to the North American Indians. "Good 127; Chap. 131. 11 "Many people in Pennsylvania had opposed the expedition (Sullivan's against the Indians in 1779) from the first. The Quakers of Philadelphia, averse to all war on principle, were especially so to any measure which looked towards punishing the Indians, who. they alleged, were far more deserving of pity than blame for whatever excesses they might be guilty of; while what was known in that state in the Wyoming Controversy as the Pennamite party, which included men possessing large wealth and much political influence, who held title under Pennsylvania for considerable tracts of land in the Wyoming Valley upon which the Connecticut people had settled, while they prof essed to commiserate the sufferings of the people, did not hesitate to express their satisfaction at being clear of the hated 'Intruders, ' and their perfect willingness that the Indians should keep them out of the disputed territory until the war...

This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Researches: In Western Pennsylvania, Principally Catholic I, in common with many others, have long felt that far too little interest is manifested in collecting and preserving the records of the past, especially among Catholics. In the beginning of the Church in this country the number of the clergy, upon whom this work would naturally devolve, was so small, and the field of their labors so 'ex tensive, that little time could be expended, on any other than their strict ministerial duties; and even now, when their numbers have greatly increased, their labors are scarcely less arduous. To some persons, too, this work does not seem of much importance. But to be convinced of the error of such a view, it is only necessary to ask ourselves, what would not the nations, cities and dioceses of old Europe give for a complete detailed history of their past? Yet it is buried in an oblivion from which the patience and industry of man labor in vain to rescue it. These nations began their political anm religious existence at a time long anterior to the invention of printing, and all that is known of them are the meagre details that have been. Preserved by the industry of a few writers at distant'intervals. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 700 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Old Tioga Point and Early Athens, Pennsylvania In every community there are those who scoff at any attempt to preserve local history. For them are here recorded some wise words of great men; many of which were collated by the late Dr. John Hawley, and used in his writings for the Cayuga County (N. Y.) Historical Society, of which he was the first President. Dr. Hawley wrote. "Why do we want to know history? Simply because all of us and every one ought to know how we have come to be what we are." Daniel Webster wrote. "The Man who feels no sentiment of veneration for the memory of his forefathers, who has no natural regard for his ancestors, or his kindred, is himself unworthy of kindred regard or remembrance." Max Muller says, "What history has to teach us before all and everything, is our own antecedents, our own ancestry, our own descent." "He does wisest and best for himself and for others who takes closest heed to the lessons of the past. Love for the old is not inconsistent with the things of to-day. Whatever tends to unravel the true motives of men and their deeds, clothes the past with living interest. A faithful record of the pioneer generation should mirror forth its manners, customs and principles; and serve to increase our veneration for the men and women who won for us this fair heritage. We can not know too much of the influences which have made and controlled the conditions of society, as they have hindered or advanced its welfare. Therefore we should collect and preserve the memorials of our local history, while the incidents of its early settlement are yet fresh in memory or tradition." Brodhead. the historian, said, "A decent reverence for the past must always be an ingredient of the highest patriotism. The more that is known of the history of a locality, the more the people will love it, and stand up for it, not only for what it is, but for what their predecessors have done and suffered to make it what it is." "There are many ways of learning history; we read it not only from written documents, records, traditions, monuments and coins; but also from ethnological and geological remains." In all these "one needs to be well versed to discover the thread of fiction from the warp of truth, in the mingling of romance which certain writers choose to adopt, for the day is past in which romance can be accepted as history." Schiller well calls history "The tribunal of the World." Hesitatingly we send forth this work of our hand to be judged in the tribunal of our own world, the Valley of the Susquehanna.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales of Tioga: Pennsylvania and Its People The following articles - except the Indian paper - were written to break the monotony of travel from Wellsboro to Harrisburg during the last three years. Nothing of the kind was needed during the return trip, for merely to keep one's destination in mind was sufficient to dispel ennui. If any of my friends find in reading, a tithe of the entertainment I have found in writing these articles, I shall be gratified. I entertain the hope that they may direct the attention of some one to the subject - Tioga County - who will give it better and more serious treatment.
