This book was released on 2017-07-18 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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...

Download or read book Pocono and Jackson Townships written by Pocono-Jackson Historical Society and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pocono Township got its name from the Native Americans, meaning "water between the mountains." Many small towns and villages dotted the landscape along the Native American trails, notably Tannersville in Pocono Township, which was named for its leather tanneries. Jackson Township was named after Andrew Jackson, the seventh United States president, and was primarily a farming and logging community. Jackson Township also became a major supplier of ice, which was harvested on the man-made lakes. The ice was transported on the Wilkes-Barre and Eastern Railroad from the depot in Reeders to Philadelphia, New York, and Jersey City. Over the years, the townships' family and honeymoon resorts, pristine streams for trout fishing, and clear mountain air have helped the area become known as "Pennsylvania's Playground."
