Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Clarion County, Pennsylvania: With Illustrations and Biographical Sketches of Some of Its Prominent Men and Pioneers Not many thrilling adventures are related in this narrative of the doings of the people of Clarion county, but here and there we are afforded glimpses of the sterling patriotism, the noble daring, and the lofty courage of those whom occasion afforded the Opportunity to display these virtues. The record of the settlement and development of Clarion county contains few startling incidents. Peaceful and quiet has been the history of this people, and while our fathers and brothers bear a record of loyal devotion to their country in at least two wars, no spot within the borders of our county can be pointed out with certainty as the scene of sanguinary battle. So may it be evermore. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

HE early schools of the county have been adverted to in other parts of T this volume, and we shall endeavor to avoid repetitions. The first settlers were sturdy and industrious pioneers, but they brought with them from their former homes ideas of progress and culture, and within a year from the time the first community was fairly settled in the new forest home, a school-house was erected, and in 1803 Gabriel Glenn was duly installed therein as teacher. This was within the territory now embraced in Clarion township. Other settlements followed, and with equal promptitude school-house and place of worship were provided, sometimes in the same building, though not unfrequently the school was held in the house of some settler, where the children of the community could learn the rudiments of an English education. Schools were established in the territory now included in the townships of Beaver, Elk, Farmington, Licking, Limestone, Maidson, Monroe, Paint, and Toby between 1805 and 1815. The first school-house in Richland township was erected about I817 or 1818. The Shields school, near Smithland, and the Ardery school, near the head of Leatherwood Creek, Porter township, were built about 1818 or 1820.

Download or read book Utah A History written by Charles S. Peterson and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 1984 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A place apart, Utah began as an undefined land in the middle of the continent, a place that meant little to the few natives who lived there and even less to the fewer travelers who passed through. Utah is a land whose geographical isolation would forever mark its history. To the Mormons who took refuge there in the 1840s, distance from the outside world was its greatest attraction, and there in the desert of the Great Basin, the Saints set out to build up Zion and wait for the Lord. Today, believes author Charles S. Peterson, Utahans have proved to be followers rather than leaders on most public issues, seeking the sure precedent and the safe path--a legacy of the Saints' old quest for security and respect in a hostile world.
