Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Pennsylvania When historical societies for study and research in Pennsylvania history - local and general - are multi plying all over the State, no apology is needed for writing a book on the subject. Pennsylvania has a history of more than two centuries. It consists, like that 'of the other States which separated from Great Britiain to form the American Union, of a Colonial, a Revolutionary, and a Constitutional period. It has always been a part of another history: first of Eng land, and then of the United States. This is true, not alone in a nominal, but in a real sense. United States history, whether its political, social, or indus trial side, is of a composite nature. Every State helps to make it. The contribution of the thirteen original States is the greatest, because they have a Colonial and 'a Revolutionary history. In Pennsyl vania these periods are especially interesting and im portant, though they have been sadly neglected.

This book was released on 2017-11-16 with total page 742 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Collections of the State of Pennsylvania The proverb says Charity begins at home. The study of history ought to begin at home also yet how many men are there in this state, as in others, who are far more familiar with the history of England, or with the career of Alexander, Caesar, or Napoleon, than with the events that have occurred upon the very fields which they themselves are tilling And this arises not so much from the want of intelligence On the part of the people, as from the lack of proper books and documents within their reach. It is believed, therefore, that a Work of the kind here pre sented is needed by the intelligent yeomanry of the state, for whose use it is especially intended and the compiler hopes that, while it may serve to enliven their long winter evenings, it will awaken in their minds a spirit of inquiry into the history of their own immediate neighborhoods, and at the same time furnish them with a fund of instructive incidents relating to the more dis tant sections of the state.

Download or read book The Settlement of Pennsylvania Classic Reprint written by Walter Lefferts and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-28 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Settlement of Pennsylvania "In the beginning" are the first words of the Bible narrative, and fascinating indeed is the story of the beginning of any worthy achievement. The main facts concerning the founding of Pennsylvania have become treasured in our national history, and are known, at least in outline, to most Americans; yet it is well for all citizens, and particularly all Pennsylvanians, to renew their knowledge of the birth and growth of a great commonwealth, the second among our many states in wealth and population. The figure of Penn, the beloved Founder of the colony, a great and good man, who saw his golden dreams blossom into reality, is one which should never be forgotten. From the melting-pot of his Pennsylvania settlement such value came forth that we look with better heart at the mixture of races in the national life of today. Many other worthwhile characters are met in this short chronicle. This book is designed to give a survey, brief, yet more detailed than the accounts found in general American histories, of our state's early development up to the time of the Revolution. The style is adapted to the comprehension of any pupil of the upper elementary grades or the junior high school. By word and by picture the narrative has been made as clear and as interesting as the space would allow. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Classic Reprint written by Thomas Kilby Smith and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania The object of the series of hand books of which this is the pioneer is to give in compact form the salient facts relating to the history, development and present social, economic and political status of the different States of the Union. To those who are interested in any special phase of the development of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, it is hoped this book will be a guide for more comprehensive study than is afforded by its pages. It has been sought to treat as completely as possible in each chapter such matters as are essential to a full understanding of the physical characteristics, the aborigines, the colonists and later emigrants, the framework of government as first established and as it exists today. A study is made of the daily life of the people and methods of administration, of governmental, religious, social and domestic affairs, of State finance, of the sources of wealth, of the churches and other religious bodies, of conditions affecting the home, and the educational system, the professions, literature, art, science, and finally of penology. Great pains have been taken to verify the statistics to the latest date available. No one of the original States of the Union has had a greater influence than Pennsylvania; her natural wealth, her geographical position, her varied types of settlers have all combined to this end.

This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Collections of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, Vol. 1 Herc now this people lived peaceably for several years without preachers or magistrates. Each one did as he thought proper. About this time I became very sick and expected to die, and was willing to die, for my stepmother was indeed a stepmother to me. By her influence my father treated me very harshly; I had no other friend, and had to bear hunger and cold. I often thought of running away, but the sickness mentioned put a bit in my mouth; I was bound as if by a rope to remain with my father to obey him. I have already mentioned that my father was a widower when he left Germany, and landed in 1710 with eight children, in New York, where my two brothers, George Frederick and Christopher were bound by the Governor, with my then sick father's consent, over to Long Island. The following winter my youngest brother, John Frederick, died in the sixth year of his age, and was buried in Livingston's bush, as the expression then was, and was the first one buried where new the Reformed Church in Weisers - dorf stands. In the year 1711 my father married my stepmother, whom I have mentioned above. It was an unhappy match, and was the cause of my brothers and sisters' all becoming scattered. At last I was the only one left at home, except the three children he had by my stepmother, viz., John Frederick, Jacob, and Rebecca. Everything went crab-fashion; one misfortune after another happened to our family, of which I always was partaker. I frequently did not know where to turn, and learned to pray to God, and his word became my most agreeable reading.
