Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Calhoun County, Michigan, Vol. 2: A Narrative Account of Its Historical Progress, Its People, and Its Principal Interests In early life his attention was turned to the study of antiquities, especially the Mound Builders, the Indians, geology, mineralogy and numismatics. He possessed a large collection of specimens along these latter lines. As he advanced in years his greatest happiness was found in nature study. The great desire of his heart was to awaken in others an appreciation of the beauties of the outdoor world, and with this end in view he worked for the organization and maintenance of the Nature Club. It became his keen delight, in company with genial friends from this club, to take long walks across Open fields, along winding streams, beneath leafy bowers and through wooded tracts. A' dinner cooked over an open fire or a luncheon spread by a natural stream of cold water was to him more inviting than the most delicious viands ever served at a conventional feast.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Past and Present of Calhoun County, Iowa, Vol. 2: A Record of Settlement, Organization, Progress, and Achievement Lewis \varren Moody was one of the earlier settlers of Calhoun county and there was no resident of the county who played a more important part in its material development than he. As a member of the real-estate firm of Moody Davy he opened up immense tracts of land in the county for settlement and it was in a great measure due to his in uence that the law was passed making possible the assess ment of taxes to provide funds for the drainage of the extensive swamp areas of the county. Although many people in the county at first ob ected to the drainage proposition, all were at length forced to admit that it did more than any other one thing to increase land values. Mr. Moody was likewise prominent in financial circles as president of the First National Bank of Pomeroy and he had other extensive interests, as he owned a great deal of land in various western states.

Its upper course is along the boundary between Twin Lakes and Center townships. It next flows through the southwestern part Of Center and the northwestern part Of Logan Township and enters Lake Creek Township in section 24. From this point its course is more toward the southwest, crossing the northwest corner Of Cal houn Township and emptying into the Coon River about three miles southwest Of Lake City. Cedar Creek, the next stream Of importance, has its source in Lincoln Township, a short distance south Of the Town Of Manson. At first it follows a southeasterly direction to the southeast corner Of Lincoln Township, where it turns more to the southward and meanders through Greenfield, Cedar, Reading and Union townships until it enters Greene County. There is also a Cedar Creek which flows south and southwest across Williams Township. It has two small tributaries - one from the east and the other from the west. Purgatory Creek rises in Pocahontas County and crosses the northern boundary of Calhoun about two miles east Of the Town Of Pomeroy. After entering the county it flows by a rather sinuous course through Sherman and Center townships until it discharges its waters into Lake Creek, about a mile and a half northeast Of Rock well City.

This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reports and Public Letters of John C. Calhoun In the present volume the Editor has endeavored to bring together, without special reference to subject or dates, such Papers as may, in the main, be ranked under the head of Political Essays. Some of these have never before been published; while others appear in a different, if not a more perfect state. They were, for the most part, written at the instance, and for the use of his friends, who, in preparing them for the Press, were allowed and exercised some liberty of private judgment, as well as freedom of criticism. These privileges were, no doubt, cautiously and discreetly used; but in this collection of his Works, the Editor has felt himself constrained to adhere strictly to the original manuscripts of the author, in all cases where they could be procured. He regrets, however, to state that he has not been always successful in his efforts to obtain the originals. Many, it is to be feared, are now irretrievably lost; and amongst them that of the Address to his political friends and supporters, - which is the more to be regretted as the Editor has reason to believe it contained some important matter which does not appear in the printed Copy.

Cal houn, but his complete identification with two Op posing popular movements - how he helped to form a broad national sentiment, the part he played in the struggle in his state against that sentiment, and his leadership Of the triumphant sectional senti ment. I have shown that, as he was a popular leader, he was dominated by popular forces and that his power lay in his correct interpretation of the will of his people. To study his public life, therefore, is to study the cmof public opinion in the South 'during a momentous period, when it formed into a great movement to resist a greater movement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of John Caldwell Calhoun One after another of the remarkable men of our country has gone to the tomb, until the number of the distinguished dead far exceeds that of the living who have become illustrious. The history and fame of the country, and the promise of the latter is its hope and admiration. To portray the character of the one is to excite the emulation of the other; and to depict the virtues of a single individual, may be to scatter the seeds that will germinate, and bud, and blossom, and bring forth similar fruit, in due season. For more than fifty-five years, Mr. Calhoun has been one of the most prominent statesmen in the American Union, and during that long period their history is woven together.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Calhoun Revolution We have the Executive; we have the laws; we have the decisions of the courts and that is a great advance from where we stood ten years ago. In February, 1847, Mr. Calhoun introduced in the Senate a resolution declaring, for the first time, this doctrine, that the Constitution, of its own force, guaranties the right to take slaves into the Territories of the United States; and, at the same time, another resolution denying the power of Congress to inhibit it. Up to that time, very few, among the prominent men at the South, assented to that doctrine. Under his lead, how ever, they have changed their ground, and have changed the ground of the Democratic party, using its organization to force on a revolution in Opinion on this question; and to a very great extent, I confess, they have already succeeded with those who still act with that party.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Carolina Tribute to Calhoun The present Volume is commended to the People of South Carolina with every confidence that it will be accepted by them as a valued memento of a sad but cherished past. Designed mainly to commemorate the death of Calhoun, it embraces all the important incidents, ceremonies, and testimonials connected with that great event; together with the several discourses, addresses, and orations, elicited from the full hearts of admiring Carolinians. The death at Washington; the meeting in the Senate Hall; the removal home of the mortal remains; the imposing demonstration at Charleston; the Cemetery of St. Philip's; the plain marble slab with its brief though expressive inscription; and then the solemn gathering of our people in various quarters, - these are the scenes which the volume depicts - these the recollections it revives. It thus speaks forcibly to the heart, and, moreover, presents a record of mingled love, admiration, and grief, such we conceive as has been vouchsafed to but very few men. Herein are contained the remarks in Congress of distinguished Senators and Representatives; the Sermon of the Chaplain of the Senate; the Report of the Committee of Twenty-five; the Narrative of the Funeral Honors at Charleston; the Message of Governor Seabrook; the Discourses of the Rev. Messrs. Barnwell, Thornwell, Miles, Palmer, and Smith; and the Orations - instinct with thought and feeling - of Messrs. Allston, Coit, Henry, Whyte, Porcher, Hammond, Rhett, and Porter. Nor must we omit to refer to the Resolutions of the Pennsylvania and the New York Legislature, the Proceedings of the New York Historical Society, and to other memorials of rare interest; all bearing the highest testimony to the virtues and the services of our great statesman, and showing how well the splendor of his public conduct accorded with the stainless purity of his private life. Precious, therefore, are the memories which this volume embalms; useful is the lesson it teaches; and deathless the spirit it excites. Filled with thoughts of high import - with the sentiments both of laymen and divines, its pages wear the chaste impress of truth, and glow with the fire of genuine eloquence. Impressively they tell of patriotism and noble self-devotion; of duty and its stern behests; of greatness and its large rewards; of laurels won and cypress scattered.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Calhoun Text Book Why that I cannot tell, said be: But 'twas a famous victory. If the feeling of personal sympathy are called less frequently into play by Mr. Calhoun, it cannot be denied that the deficiency thus created is amply compensated by the interest which the argu ment itself arouses. There is passion it is true, but it is so well trained and kept under, that we observe it like the steam in a well regulated engine, rather in the methodicaland rapid action of the machinery it in uences, than in the wreaths and puffs of vapor which occasionally escape. There are no intervals for us to stop and cheer; there are no resting places by which we can get out for refreshment; but we are carried onward in a line mathemati cally straight to the place of destination. It is in this very freedom from digressions of all kinds that Mr. Calhoun's title to the admi ration of posterity will in a great degree rest; and we have no 'doubt that in future periods, when local illusions and personal re tort have lost their effect, when the reader seeks to trace out not so much the private skirmishes of statesmen themselves, as the gen eral character of the measures about which they struggled - the chaste and beautiful argumentation which distinguished him, will place him on a level with the few great minds who have been able to instruct the reason, without stooping to please the fancy.
