Munro and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-04-23 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Bristol, R. I: The Story of the Mount Hope Lands, From the Visit of the Northmen to the Present Time Whether I shall do anything worth while, from the very be ginning oi the city, I write a history of the Roman people, I neither know very well, nor if I knew would I dare to say. So wrote the his; torian Livy, as he sat at the window of his study and looked out upon the splendid imperial city, rich with the conquests of many hundreds of years. Whether I do anything worth while in writing the history of the town of Bristol, is not the thought which has troubled me, for every contribution to the history of a town or state has a definite and specific value. From their varied threads the future historian shall some day weave into graphic pages a faithful narrative of the progress of Amer ican civilization. Whether I am doing it in a worthy way - has been the troublesome question that could never be satisfactorily answered. For Bristol has a history peculiarly and strangely interesting to every thoughtful man. Very few towns in the whole country can furnish so many themes upon which the pen of the historian delights to linger. In writing a local history two methods naturally present themselves for the choice of him who takes the task in hand. One is, to make it simply and only a local history; to give an epitome of all the legislation of the town; to perpetuate and eulogize upon its pages the names of all those who have taken a part that has raised them, in even the slightest degree, above the general level of their fellows; to give extended lists of those who have been its professional men, its merchants, its artisans and its seamen; and to make mention of the houses in which these men were born, and lived, and died. Such is the plan which has been often adopted. It may answer in the case of many towns whose part in the his tory of their state has been light and comparatively unimportant. It would not be worthy of the career of this town. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Images of America: Bristol celebrates the history of the town known as "A Good Place to Live." Joseph A. Anderson bought land on the Virginia-Tennessee border from his father-in-law, Rev. James King, and founded Bristol in 1852. Just four years later, the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad came to Bristol, and the town became a major trading center of the Appalachian region. During the Civil War, Bristol was a vital railway link between the North and the South, and it later became known as the birthplace of country music. Readers are sure to enjoy viewing over 200 vintage photographs of the train station, the Carter Family, the King family, Virginia Intermont College, and King College, as well as homes and people from all walks of life. The S. E. Massengill drug manufacturing company shown on the cover is among the highlighted industries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History and Antiquities of the City of Bristol: Compiled From Original Records and Authentic Manuscripts, in Public Offices or Private Hands How the History of Bristol, so long expected, is at length offered to the public the reader may be curious to know. Twenty years have clapsed since collections for the design were fought for with great assiduity and no small expence, and some progress made in compiling it, and even the copperplates were engraved for the work in folio; but the author, engaged in a business that commanded all his time and attention, receiving no encouragement to proceed, and finding there was more likelihood for him, "oleum et operam perdere," fat down contented with his first loss and wholly desisted from the undertaking, locking up his papers for several years, intending to leave them to one of more leisure and to a time more auspicious and favourable to the undertaking. Retiring from business into the country and often confined by the gout, he thought he should find some amusement in this literary employ, and resumed the long intermitted task, that he might leave it in a less unfinished slate to completed and published hereafter. At this time a worthy Doctor of one of our universities, deservedly esteemed by all for his singular humanity and friendly disposition, visited him and warmly solicited him to proceed with the work and publish it himself in his life-time; for posthumous works were often neglected, seldom executed to the author's mind, and not unfrequently lost. In a letter afterwards he urged the matter with great earnestness, and most generous tender of his friendship, concluding with the following spirited expressions, which he applied to this occasion. "Hominem te durum et pene crudelem, qui tam infignes libros tam diu teneas. Sine per ora hominum ferantur, &c. Ouosque tibi et nobis invidebis ? Tibi laudem, nobis maximam voluptatem. Magna etiam longaque expeftatio est quam frulirari adhue et differre non debes. - Habe ante Oeulos Mortalitatem! Define studia tua infinita ista cunctatione fraudare, quae cum modum excedat, verendum est, ne inertiae etdefidiae vel etiam timiditatis nomen accipiat." This added a spur to irresolution, and the "habe ante oculos mortalitatem" made an impression irresistible, applied to one in a declining state of health and years.
