Book excerpt: Excerpt from Legends and Historical Notes, on Places of North Westmoreland Our little book is of a miscellaneous character, and widely different to any standard work of history, but it deals with subjects common to the locality physically, legendary, historically, and socially - and does not profess to be other than a compilation of facts, with original matter due to the observation and inspiration of the various authors, including ourselves, of the subjects treated on. A work may be almost chaotic in its arrangement, but it will be very poor indeed if it does not contain within it some germ from which scholars versed in such lore may extract something of use; or probably it may help them to lay bare some forgotten fact, or to explain some obsolete phrase which will assist the student of archaeology.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Legends and Historical Notes, on Places of North Westmoreland "There, stranger, ply thy curious search, And oftentimes beside The crumbling edifice thou'lt see Some rudely-sculptured effigy." - Bentley. The antiquary, sighing after renown, endeavours to impress the public that signs certified by some authority are better than natural conclusions, and he holds up his erudition, uncontradicted for the most part, if only qualified by bold assertion. "Hold on," we fancy we hear the renowned Dr. Dauntless say; "I can testify that my knowledge of these matters is unbounded, and ought not, by any means, to be questioned."

Download or read book Old and New Westmoreland Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by John N. Boucher and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old and New Westmoreland, Vol. 1 It is without trepidation that the publishers lay before their patrons the following work, Old and New Westmoreland. Its title embraces the territory in Westmoreland County at its formation in 1773, a region now generally known as Southwestern Pennsylvania. The work includes a complete history of Westmoreland County as it formerly existed, up until Washington, Fayette and Allegheny counties were carved from it. Indeed, the author has devoted more space to the formative period of this section than any previous writer, and we believe he has thoroughly laid the interesting features of its history before the reader. For a third of a century after the first settlements were made in Southwestern Pennsylvania, the history of this section is made up of a strange commingling of tragedy and romance on the one hand, and of privations and exertions on the other. Though the reader may be sometimes taken away from the immediate locality of which the work treats, he will always find that the subject under consideration is one which deeply concerns Westmoreland history. The narrative as told here is made as nearly chronological as is possible. The publishers feel confident that Mr. Boucher has placed before the readers in a pleasing and forceful manner the salient facts of the long and interesting story, and that he has included much of that purely antiquarian lore, which is to many the most instructive and delightful feature in history. Formed, as the County of Westmoreland was, before the Revolution, the story of its patriotism in that struggle is and must ever remain, one of its brightest pages. The reader will find that the author has delved deeply into the biography of the makers of Westmoreland, giving of all of the prominent men of the past all of the authentic information that can be gathered concerning them. The work in two volumes relates entirely to the past, it being seldom, indeed, that the author has even mentioned the name of any one now living. He wishes us to state that he has been entirely untrammelled in this matter, and if he has omitted entirely, or given too much prominence to any event, or hero of the past, it is entirely a mistake in judgment, and is not due to any obligation on the part of the writer. In view of the foregoing, the publishers feel confident in reasserting that the two volumes of Old and New Westmoreland, being practically a history of Southwestern Pennsylvania, will, when carefully considered, meet with the approval of the intelligent and public-spirited people.

Book excerpt: “A terrific book, lively and brisk . . . a must read for anyone who tries to understand the Vietnam War.” —Thomas E. Ricks Is it possible that the riddle of America’s military failure in Vietnam has a one-word, one-man answer? Until we understand Gen. William Westmoreland, we will never know what went wrong in the Vietnam War. An Eagle Scout at fifteen, First Captain of his West Point class, Westmoreland fought in two wars and became Superintendent at West Point. Then he was chosen to lead the war effort in Vietnam for four crucial years. He proved a disaster. Unable to think creatively about unconventional warfare, Westmoreland chose an unavailing strategy, stuck to it in the face of all opposition, and stood accused of fudging the results when it mattered most. In this definitive portrait, prize-winning military historian Lewis Sorley makes a plausible case that the war could have been won were it not for General Westmoreland. An authoritative study offering tragic lessons crucial for the future of American leadership, Westmoreland is essential reading. “Eye-opening and sometimes maddening, Sorley’s Westmoreland is not to be missed.” —John Prados, author of Vietnam: The History of an Unwinnable War, 1945–1975
