Book excerpt: Historical Sketches of the Town of Portland Comprising also the Pioneer History of Chautauqua County By HC Taylor Preface The following pages are not the result of hasty research or careless investigation, but for three years have occupied the earnest attention of the author during the hours that could be spared from the demands of a most laborious profession. The compilation was not undertaken for the want of employment, but to rescue from the wasting influence of time the facts and incidents connected with the settlement and early history of the town. It has been a labor of love, and in one sense the author regrets the close of the volume. It was not expected that more than from two to three hundred pages could be written, but such was the accumulation of material that it would have been far easier to have written two volumes than condense it within the present limits. It was said by a friend that he who could write a good town history is fitted to write a book on any other subject. However this may be, it is certain he would be capable of almost any amount of hard labor, and for his patience well deserving a "niche" close by the one occupied by that rigid old moralist, the man of Uz. Amid the discouragements consequent upon the prosecution of the work, it becomes a pleasant duty to mention the names of a few of the numerous friends whose kind sympathies and intelligent aid have cheered the author in his difficult labors. But for them the work might have been abandoned long since. To Hon. ET Foote of New Haven, Conn., he is indebted for many suggestions of importance and many facts in regard to the early history of the county; to David Eaton, an early settler of the town who died the past season, for a large amount of local history that it would have been impossible to have reached from any other source; to Hon. Abner Hazeltine of Jamestown, this county, EB Taylor, Alfred Eaton. JS West, and many others of this town, and over two hundred correspondents in twelve states of the Union. In addition, a vast number of books, manuscripts and records have been consulted and the utmost effort made to render the whole truthful and a reliable book of reference. Errors may be discovered by careful antiquarians, but it is believed that it will be found as free from defects as it is possible for intense solicitude and hard labor to make it. It is hoped that none by a hasty glance will pronounce this or that statement incorrect, but on the contrary subject them first to serious consideration or investigation. To the good people of Portland, firstly, and to friends in every locality, this book is dedicated, with the best wishes of the author. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Windham Press is committed to bringing the lost cultural heritage of ages past into the 21st century through high-quality reproductions of original, classic printed works at affordable prices. This book has been carefully crafted to utilize the original images of antique books rather than error-prone OCR text. This also preserves the work of the original typesetters of these classics, unknown craftsmen who laid out the text, often by hand, of each and every page you will read. Their subtle art involving judgment and interaction with the text is in many ways superior and more human than the mechanical methods utilized today, and gave each book a unique, hand-crafted feel in its text that connected the reader organically to the art of bindery and book-making. We think these benefits are worth the occasional imperfection resulting from the age of these books at the time of scanning, and their vintage feel provides a connection to the past that goes beyond the mere words of the text.

Download or read book American Messiahs False Prophets of a Damned Nation written by Adam Morris and published by Liveright Publishing. This book was released on 2019-03-26 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A history with sweeping implications, American Messiahs challenges our previous misconceptions about “cult” leaders and their messianic power. Mania surrounding messianic prophets has defined the national consciousness since the American Revolution. From Civil War veteran and virulent anticapitalist Cyrus Teed, to the dapper and overlooked civil rights pioneer Father Divine, to even the megalomaniacal Jim Jones, these figures have routinely been dismissed as dangerous and hysterical outliers. After years of studying these emblematic figures, Adam Morris demonstrates that messiahs are not just a classic trope of our national culture; their visions are essential for understanding American history. As Morris demonstrates, these charismatic, if flawed, would-be prophets sought to expose and ameliorate deep social ills—such as income inequality, gender conformity, and racial injustice. Provocative and long overdue, this is the story of those who tried to point the way toward an impossible “American Dream”: men and women who momentarily captured the imagination of a nation always searching for salvation.
