Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Meade County, Kansas In Presenting this History of Meade County to the public I am timidly conscious that it will meet the full approval of none. In the preparation of this work I have talked with five hundred people, and received five hundred suggestions as to what the book should contain. Being anxious to please, but realizing my inability to carry out the ideas of the many well-meaning people and confine the work to one volume, I have discarded much that is interesting, but it has been my intention to include all that is important or valuable. The personal experience of every old settler would be interesting reading; the achievements of those who settled upon the frontier in the days "that tried men's souls," who battled with the elements, subdued the wilderness and made the desert fruitful, is a story worthy of the mightiest pen; the exploits of "Hoodoo" Brown, the activities of George DeCow, the eccentricities of Pat Mulligan, the unconscious humor of PeteHotz, the martial dignity of Captain Osgood, and the characteristics, freaks and foibles of many others who might be mentioned, would, if properly preserved, afford a source of never-ending amusement and entertainment; but it would not be history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Republic County, Kansas A single county in the great state of Kansas occupies but an insignificant place on the map of the world, and its people and its story are comparatively unknown. Yet the grand river of national history is formed by the union of many rills of traditions and record, flowing from a thousand counties and states all over the land. The tracing of one of these rills to its source is the province of the present little volume. It is the aim of this work to collect and preserve some of the facts of the early settlement, subsequent growth and development of one of the leading counties of a young, yet great and glorious state. The families who were early on the ground, and whose members have contributed to make the county what it is, are worthy of remembrance; and their difficulties and sorrows, labors and patriotism, should not be allowed to fall into oblivion. By a knowledge of these, the present generation will be instructed, and the future will be guided. All history, if properly written, is profitable; and there is not a country, or a city, or a hamlet, on the globe, whose history might not be more or less valuable to posterity. We trust this little volume will be the means of preserving from the empire of decay Si host of incidents, of recollections and of anecdotes relating to the land of pioneers and first settlers of the county, which, in the estimation of the historian and student of history, are of priceless value, but which otherwise would soon fade from the memories of the living. Still, a perfect and complete history of any county is one of the impossibilities, and this work may be incomplete in many particulars. Nor, indeed, is it possible for it to be otherwise, as it is not permitted any man to attain perfection. Its regions lie beyond our reach.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Nemaha County, Kansas And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh. Ecclesiastes, xii. Xii. There are books and books, each purporting to fulfill a mission. Since remote times man has endeavored in some manner to leave behind him the story of his accomplishments during his brief sojourn on earth. Primitive man first chiselled on imperishable stone in various Crude ways the messages which he desired transmitted to his descendants; the ancients inscribed history on tablets of olav' In all parts Of the known world are found the stories of its peoples inscribed in some form on crumbling monuments, on the walls of forgotten, buried Cities - the mes sages telling in graphic detail the story of the ancient peoples of the earth in the only manner which was possible to the inhabitants thereof. As enlightenment came gradually through the ages, the crude meth ods of transmitting knowledge in vogue for untold centuries-gave way to the written and printed pages which we have today, when the ability to read is universal throughout the land. Books have multiplied until their number is incalculable. A good book is a friend and companion. A book of history is not only enter taining, useful, enlightening, but it is valuable and stimulating. We are inspired by the tales of. Accomplishment by our forefathers to do even greater things than they. We likewise take a just pride in our own deeds and successes. Macauley once wrote: Show me a country whose people take no pride in their ancestry; they will produce no posterity worth while. It is well to delve into the past; strive in the present, and to look forward into the future. This volume of Nemaha County History tells of the past, which covers a brief span of three score years since the all conquering American pioneer came into the prairie wilderness to create a home; its pages likewise speak Of the present - wall of which is recorded for the benefit and inspiration of posterity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Kansas The attempt has been made, in preparing this volume, to give, within a convenient compass, the most interesting and material occurrences and events in the history of the rise of a great Free State from a wilderness. Harrowing details and discreditable happenings have been purposely omitted. The story has been told as a record of courage and steadfastness, and increasing devotion to the principles of human freedom and national union. Events have been arranged, as nearly as possible, in the order of the years, with an occasional arrangement of the years in periods or groups, with no further classification or subdivision. No attempt has been made to "write down" to the supposed intellectual capacity of children. Students old enough to enter upon the study of the history of an American State, it is believed, will find all the statements and conclusions comprehensible.

Download or read book History of Leavenworth County Kansas Classic Reprint written by Jesse A. Hall and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 676 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Leavenworth County, Kansas History is but a record of the happenings of human events, the per sonal element ever being present, and the history of a community or county is merely a record of those Who have contributed to its upbuild ing and advancement. Each step in the development 'of the above men tioned institutions; each incident caonnected with the passing of the original inhabitants of the territory of which our country is now com posed as well. As the coming of the pioneers - our forefathers - is history today. Centered about every pioneer family; about the rude log cabin, long since deserted and fallen to decay; about the old landmarks that live now only in our memory; about the farms, and about the grave marked by some weather worn piece, there is a story worth the telling; a story that would interest someone. Unfortunately the authors' have been compelled to eliminate much that they would like to tell owing to want of space. Having finished our undertaking of writing a history of Leavenworth County, though not to our satisfaction, we look back upon our labor as one of love and pleasure. While the task has been a tedious one, yet we feel a bit of satisfaction in our belief that we have written a story of our county in Leavenworth County language; that it is not so much written as spoken and in a way that we feel the average citizen can read and understand. We claim for this work no literary merit, neither dowe claim absolute correctness. Errors have doubless occurred by rea son of transcribing, typesetting and proof reading. Again much of this history as it is written herein has been handed down by word of mouth, and realizing as we do the frailty of human memory, we have attempted to arrive at the truth as best we could. Thoughout this work we have tried to tell the story of Leavenworth County and its people simply and plainly with the hope that we might be able to present a substantially authentic history of our county and its people to which the present and future generations may refer with con fidence and satisfaction as the years come and go, that it may be a per manent record for all time, and incidentally to inspire, by the sweep of the story, a love for our county and our cities and an intelligent solicitude for their destiny.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Heroes in Our Defense, Labette County, Kansas When we search the record of our state and nation, and compare Labette County's record we are proud of our boys, our women folk, our children and our men - Labette County has never been found wanting. In presenting this book to the people of the country the publishers have attempted in some small measure to bring before them in compact form, an all too brief story of their own community, coupled with illustrations and a pictorial history of some of our patriots who have pledged their all their very lives that Liberty may live and Right may Triumph. Within the covers of this book we have attempted to set forth what Labette County and her people typify. (personal details and records of individual acts of patriotism is lacking because of the removal from this locality of many who partici pated in the world struggle.) If we have succeeded the success is due not to us, not to the typographer who prepared this book, but to the mothers and fathers who raised these sons, for the highest and greatest service to Humanity and to their individual efforts in backing them at home.
