Book excerpt: Excerpt from Materials for a History of the Wither Family In the early sixties a young Oxford undergraduate, preparing for the history schools, as he leant Sunday after Sunday during the long vacation over the edge of the high family pew in the unrestored parish Church of Wootton St. Lawrence, near Basingstoke - gazed with increasing interest at the following monumental inscription on the opposite wall: - 'William Wither Esquire died Oct:31 1789 aged 86. On his death, all the male issue Of an ancient and well respected family, Who had resided at Manydown During the space of four centuries Became extinct." "Four centuries in 1789, that takes one back (he said to himself) to the reign of Richard II. I wonder what the succession of the Withers of Manydown was, and what sort of life a country squire lived in those days. Visions of the manorial system; of the estate divided into two portions, that in demesne and that held by the villagers in villenage; of the manorial courts and of the lord dispensing justice - rose before him. Some day I will write a history of the family and of the manor." Time passed. After Oxford came residence abroad. Then Holy Orders with exacting ministerial work.

Download or read book History of the Everhart and Shower Families From 1744 to 1883 Embracing Six Generations Classic Reprint written by O. T. Everhart and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-22 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Everhart and Shower Families, From 1744 to 1883 Embracing Six Generations Every one, who undertakes to write a book, should have a laudable object in view. It was not from any desire, to make a display of literary talent, or be classed as an Author, that we were induced to collect the facts contained in this little volume. But it was a labor of love, in order that the history of our forefathers might not be forever lost; that the story of their lives might be perpetuated and read by future generations. The idea of writing this historical sketch was first suggested, at a reunion of the family of Geo. Everhart, (the great grand-son of Paul Everhart) when he was 75 years old, and all his sons and daughters, with their wives and husbands, had assembled at the homestead. It was with feelings of intense delight, that we sat and listened to the aged father, as he related his recollections of the long, long past. It was then, and there, we resolved to put into a permanent form a history of the Everhart and Shower Families. How well we have succeeded in the resolution, we submit to the judgment of those who are also interested in the matter.

Download or read book History of the Campbell Family Classic Reprint written by Henry James Lee and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-17 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Campbell Family Ments and history it is the common heritage of all who bear the name to take pride and interest. Old stories of Campbells of reckless bravery, of Camp bells who were good and true friends and of Camp bells who were neree and bitter enemies. Stories of Campbells who fought hard, lived hard and died as they fought and lived. Those olden days may seem a time of scant respect for law, of misdirected chivalry and of brave deeds often wrongly done, but there is surely no true Campbell who, in his inmost heart, is not proud to claim descent from a clan whose ancient records are replete with such traditions; whose later records tell of those early adventurers who left their native hills and glens for the new land of promise, and Whose descendants have, in more prosaic times, earned honors in litera ture, arms and art. It is wise for us to recur to the history of our ancestors. Those who do not look upon themselves as links connecting the past with the future do not fulfill their duty in the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Narrative History of the Harding Family: With Illustrations This narrative was commenced in 1899, out of love for and in the interest of the little cousins, Allan Cope Harding and Barstow Harding Miller, so that wherever the word your appears it refers to them. As often happens in writing such little histories, this has become more extensive than originally intended, until it includes each and every member of our American line. In the book of Royal Descent compiled by Miss T. E. Sharpe of England, the descent is brought down to the American branch, and the object of this book is to continue that descent in a narrative form; to relate any interesting incidents of people or history of places mentioned in the former book, thus bringing those characters of bygone centuries into closer relationship with the present genera tion; and to give a little explanation and description of the ancestral pictures included in the illustrations of this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times Bestseller • Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize • An Oprah's Book Club Selection “Powerful . . . [Kingsolver] has with infinitely steady hands worked the prickly threads of religion, politics, race, sin and redemption into a thing of terrible beauty.” —Los Angeles Times Book Review The Poisonwood Bible, now celebrating its 25th anniversary, established Barbara Kingsolver as one of the most thoughtful and daring of modern writers. Taking its place alongside the classic works of postcolonial literature, it is a suspenseful epic of one family's tragic undoing and remarkable reconstruction over the course of three decades in Africa. The story is told by the wife and four daughters of Nathan Price, a fierce, evangelical Baptist who takes his family and mission to the Belgian Congo in 1959. They carry with them everything they believe they will need from home, but soon find that all of it—from garden seeds to Scripture—is calamitously transformed on African soil. The novel is set against one of the most dramatic political chronicles of the twentieth century: the Congo's fight for independence from Belgium, the murder of its first elected prime minister, the CIA coup to install his replacement, and the insidious progress of a world economic order that robs the fledgling African nation of its autonomy. Against this backdrop, Orleanna Price reconstructs the story of her evangelist husband's part in the Western assault on Africa, a tale indelibly darkened by her own losses and unanswerable questions about her own culpability. Also narrating the story, by turns, are her four daughters—the teenaged Rachel; adolescent twins Leah and Adah; and Ruth May, a prescient five-year-old. These sharply observant girls, who arrive in the Congo with racial preconceptions forged in 1950s Georgia, will be marked in surprisingly different ways by their father's intractable mission, and by Africa itself. Ultimately each must strike her own separate path to salvation. Their passionately intertwined stories become a compelling exploration of moral risk and personal responsibility.
