Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Plea for the Preservation of Germantown's Historic Spots The difference between many of the old inhabitants of Germantown, those to the manor born, and the new-comers, is something like this: The old inhabitant's interest in Germantown's historic spots is a combination of inward satisfaction and outward complacency and indifference; that of the new-comer's is one of inward admiration and outward and outspoken enthusiasm. As I am but a carpet-bagger of a little more than ten years' standing, my enthusiasm has not yet had time to cool. This interest is strengthened, perhaps, by the fact that I am able to trace descent from three of the thirteen original Germantown settlers, who on the 24th of October, 1683, drew lots in Pastorius's cave for their future homes in the then unbroken forest.
