Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dr. John Rocky Park This brochure is only a brief sketch of the life and work of Dr. John R. Park. While he was President of the University of Deseret his fame went out into all parts of the territory. Men who have done a great work fade from the minds of the next generation. This little brochure has for its purpose - to keep the memory of Dr. Park fresh and green. His brilliant gifts and splendid service to the people of the Territory of Utah and other parts of the West deserve to be remembered with honor. It has not been the object of the author to deal with details. Only the larger elements of the work of the great teacher could be mentioned. Like all great men in history, Dr. Park was not fully appreciated until long after his death. Today hundreds of students recall the majesty of his personality and the strength of his character. They hold him in sacred memory, and happy are they that the beautiful building on the University Campus will be named in his honor. The many interesting reminiscences told by his old colleagues and students are important and must be preserved for the future biographer of this great man. May this little book help keep afresh the work of the "Father of the University of Utah," and our honored Alma Mater. Matthew Arnold once said of his old professors at Oxford: "Forty years ago when I was an undergraduate at Oxford, voices were in the air which haunt my memory still. Happy the man who in that susceptible season of youth hears such voices. They are a possession to him forever." The voices of man of the old professors of UTAH are heard no more, yet in memory the words and teachings of such men as Prof. Orson Spencer, Prof. Orson Pratt, A. M., Dr. John M. Bernhisel. Dr. Karl G. Maeser, Dr. William M. Stewart, Prof. Albert Carrington, Prof. James Cobb, Prof. George M.Ottinger, Dr. F. D. Benedict, Prof. Dan Weggeland, Dr. John R. Park, and many others, still live in the memory of the old students to direct their minds to a higher life. They were real teachers - men unselfish, and true to the ideals of knowledge. These men threw the whole force of their natures into the cause of education in early day Utah. They were pioneers to a new country, it is true. Great problems had to be solved; nature had to be conquered. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patriotism or devotion to one's country is a sentiment. It is not due to self-interest nor other sordid motive, but is born of the story of her origin and of the achievements of the brave and enterprising ancestral stock, which, out of small beginnings, established and organized and wrought a nation. Every great city is in semblance a small nation, both in government and the loyal co-operation of its people for the common good. And the same patriotic devotion, born of the same sentiment does, or should prevail in every city as in every nation. As our civilization grows older our larger cities are taking more interest in the story of their own origin and development, and concerning some of them many historical volumes have been written, dealing with almost every incident of fact and legend that could be traced. And in many notable instances of cities the greater the knowledge of her history, the greater the pride and love and devotion of her people. The city of Memphis, though rated young among her Eastern sisters in America, is yet one of the most ancient, considering the discovery of her site, and the building of the first habitations of the white man here, on the whole American continent. When it is recalled that the adventurous Hernando De Soto built a cantonment for his troops here and established a little ship-yard, in which he constructed four pirogues or barges, large enough to transport across the Mississippi River in time of high water, five hundred Spanish soldiers, as many more Indian vessels and one hundred and fifty horses, with baggage and other military equipment, in a few hours, and that all this occurred seventy-nine years before the landing of the Mayflower at Plymouth Rock and twenty-four years before the building of the first hut and stockade at St. Augustine, Fla., it will be realized that our story dates far back in ancient American history. Following up this fact much space has been given to the wonderful march of De Soto from Tampa Bay, Fla., to the Chickasaw Bluffs, literally hewing his way as he came with sword and halberd through swarming nations of brave Indians; and to showing that he marched directly from the Chickasaw towns in northeast Mississippi to the Chickasaw Bluffs; and to presenting in fullest detail from the Spanish Chroniclers what De Soto and his people did while on the Bluffs where Memphis now stands. And it was deemed proper also to tell with equal detail of the voyages of Marquette and Joliet and La Salle, past the lonely Chickasaw Bluffs, and of the coming of Le Moyne Bienville with a large army and the construction of a great fortress here, heavily mounted with artillery, in the endeavor to overcome the heroic Chickasaws who resented the French invasions in the effort to conquer their country and to found a great French Empire in Western America, And the story also is told of the effort of Governor Don Manuel Gayoso to establish in like manner a Spanish Empire west of the Mississippi River before the Americans could take hold. Indeed few American cities possess so romantic a story and the archives, not only of the United States, but of France and Spain also are yet rich in historical material awaiting the historian with time and opportunity for investigation.
