Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pennsylvania, the Keystone: A Short History This work gives in outline the history of Pennsylvania. It is the outcome of long special study with more than ordinary advantages. The author has here indicated his view of the manner in which that history ought to be presented with greater fulness and detail. Much of the story has been based upon original materials preserved in the Library of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania never before utilized. The facts which go to prove the unequalled influence of Pennsylvania in the development of American affairs are narrated, but comment and opinions are omitted. Many heretofore accepted conventions have upon investigation been discarded. And, using the language of a recent author, "I have been sparing of references that encumber the foot of a page like barnacles on the keel of a vessel and delay progress."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of Pennsylvania The purpose of this little book is to provide the boys and girls in the schools of Pennsylvania with a brief and clear account of the origin and growth of our state and its institutions. Believing that history is not merely past politics, but past life, the writer has tried to place due emphasis upon every phase of that life - social, industrial, political, intellectual, and religious. It has been his aim to state the principles upon which Pennsylvania was founded, to trace the steady growth of the state from small beginnings to its present imperial greatness, and to introduce the men, many of them well-nigh forgotten, who were the makers of that greatness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Two Centuries of Pennsylvania History Pennsylvania justly merits the proud title, "The Keystone State." Her history more than her geography gave her commanding relations to the sister colonies clustered along the western margin of the Atlantic. Her great founder and first English owner, William Penn, is the noblest character in America's colonial history. In Pennsylvania every creed and every nationality was not only tolerated but welcomed. Her colonial life was more complex than that of any sister colony. To mould this life, so unlike in nationality, in religion, in civic ideals, and in industrial experience, into a unified people is one of the noblest records in the annals of any nation. To the credit of her people this was done without persecution and without coercion. Three great groups of people laid the foundations of the Commonwealth. The Quakers, under the great Penn, occupied the territory within a radius of thirty-five miles, giving themselves to commerce in Philadelphia and to agriculture in the fertile valleys of Bucks, Chester, and adjacent counties. Beyond these, in a zone fifty miles wide, settled the sturdy and patient Germans, giving birth to German-American literature, establishing Protestant missions among the Indians, tilling with signal success the fair acres of Berks, Lancaster, Lebanon, Cumberland, and contiguous counties, founding the great textile industries of the Schuylkill Valley, and developing a home life unique for its strength and its simplicity. Beyond these, in the valleys between the Blue and the Alleghany Mountains, lived the sturdy Scotch-Irish pioneers, pushing the frontier to the Ohio Valley, repelling Indian attacks, provoking strife by their restless haste to penetrate the wilderness, and establishing churches and schools in every valley and upon every hill-top of the interior.

This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on the History of Pennsylvania The earliest European settlers of Pennsylvania were the Swedes and the Dutch. Henry Hudson, in his daring voy age in the Half Moon, in 1609, entered the Delaware Bay, thus establishing the Dutch claim to this region. The river and the bay took their name from Lord Delaware, a governor of Virginia who entered the bay the next year. In 1616, Captain Hendrickson, a Dutch navigator, explored the Delaware River as far as the mouth of the Schuylkill. His vessel, the Onrust or Restless, had been built on the Hudson, taking the place of his original ship from Holland. The Dutch in 1623, under Captain Mey, settled on the Jersey shore of the Delaware, nearly opposite where Philadelphia now stands. This Captain Mey is new best remembered by the cape that bears his name. From this settlement the Dutch went into Pennsylvania, establishing a valuable trade in beaver-skins.

Download or read book History of the Province of Pennsylvania Classic Reprint written by Samuel Smith and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Province of Pennsylvania The History of the Province of Pennsylvania has been printed from Samuel Smith's manuscript in the library of The Historical Society of Pennsylvania. As an examination of his history of New Jersey indicates, this manuscript would have been carefully edited by the author before publication, but it has been deemed best to follow the orthography and punctuation of the original. The author divided his work into two parts, of which this is the first. The second part contains: The introduction, and some account of the religious progress of the people called Quakers therein, [Pennsylvania] including the like account respecting the same people in New Jersey, as constituting one yearly meeting. This second portion was printed by Samuel Hazard in The Register of Pennsylvania, Volumes VI and VII, 1830-1831, with the exception of Chapters XVI and XVII, which were omitted as they contain nothing but a letter from Elizabeth Webb, giving an account of her religious experience, to Dr. Boehm, and his reply, both of which have we understand been published in a pamphlet; and as directions are likewise given to the transcriber of Smith's Ms. to omit copying them. Samuel Smith, the author of The History of the Province of Pennsylvania, was of Quaker stock, the great-grandson of Richard Smith of Bramham in the West Riding of Yorkshire, one of the original proprietaries of West Jersey and a signer of The Concessions and Agreements of the Proprietors, Freeholders and Inhabitants of the Province of West New Jersey, in America, 1676. He had by his wife Anne Yeates, Samuel Smith of Bramham, who settled in West Jersey in 1694, married Elizabeth Lovett, and was a member of the General Assembly for several years.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fragments of the Natural History of Pennsylvania, Vol. 1 It is, I think, in general, a just observation, that our Spring and Summer birds of passage continue with us about six months, and are absent for the same length of time. Accordingly, those birds which arrive early in the spring disappear early in the autumn, and those which arrive late in the spring do not disappear until late in the au tumu. Our late springs are commonly succeeded by late and warm autumns, which, by keeping alive the numerous species of insects, which are the favourite food of almost all our summer birds of passage, detain these birds for a considerable time among us.
