Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memorial and Biographical Record and Illustrated Compendium of Biography: Containing a Compendium of Local Biography, Including Biographical Sketches of Hundreds of Prominent Old Settlers and Representative Citizens of Columbia, Sauk and Adams Counties, Wisconsin, With a Review of Their Life Work In 1846, Professor Agassiz crossed the ocean on a scientific excursion to the United States, and soon determined to remain here. He accepted, about the beginning of 1848, the chair of zoology and geology at Harvard. He explored the natural history of the United States at-different times and gave an impulse to the study of nature in this country. In 1865 he conducted an expedi tion to Brazil, and explored the lower Ama zon and its tributaries. In 1868 he was made non-resident professor of natural his tory at Cornell University. In December, 1871, he accompanied the Hassler expedi tion, under Professor Pierce, to the South Atlantic and Pacific oceans. He died at Cambridge, Massachusetts, December 14, 1873.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Land and labour provides the first full-length history of the Potters’ Emigration Society, the controversial trade union scheme designed to solve the problems of surplus labour by changing workers into farmers on land acquired in frontier Wisconsin. The book is based on intensive research into British and American newspapers, passenger lists, census, manuscript, and genealogical sources. After tracing the scheme’s industrial origins and founding in the Potteries, it examines the migration and settlement process, expansion to other trades and areas, and finally the circumstances that led to its demise in 1851. Despite the Society’s failure, the history offers unique insight into working-class dreams of landed independence in the American West and into the complex and contingent character of nineteenth-century emigration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Columbia County, New York: With Illustrations and Biographical Sketches of Some of Its Prominent Men and Pioneers We present to the public this history of Columbia County - the result of much labor and research - with a feeling of confidence, tempered by a consciousness of unavoidable imperfection. To write a truthful history of any county or section of country is never a light or an easy task; but it becomes peculiarly onerous in the case of a county like Columbia, whose annals extend through more than two and a half centuries, and whose story must commence far back in the dimness of that ancient time when the dusky Mohicans first welcomed the pale-faced voyagers from beyond the sea. In such a field we have not expected to achieve absolute perfection and completeness of detail, but we have used our best endeavors to approximate as nearly as may be to that result. We have consulted many of the best and most reliable historical works bearing upon the subject, and have spared no labor in gathering material from the most thoroughly informed citizens of the county; and in these researches we have not been more anxious to collect all obtainable facts than to exclude everything of doubtful authenticity. The most difficult part of this, as of all similar works, is the obtaining of correct knowledge of the dates of first settlements, and the names of those who made them. Accounts of these are in most cases - especially in a region so anciently settled as Columbia County - transmitted through the medium of tradition; the different statements almost invariably disagreeing in material points, and not infrequently being wholly irreconcilable. In these extreme cases the historian has no resource except to give the differing accounts for what they are worth, and to submit the question to the judgment of the public. Another source of perplexity is found in the changes in orthography of many of the old names, particularly those of Dutch or of Indian origin, though it is by no means uncommon in those of the English. In old colonial records we not only find that, through the carelessness, caprice, or ignorance of the scribes of those days, names of persons and places are differently spelled by different writers, but that as many as four different orthographical constructions of the same word are sometimes found in the same document; so that, in more than one instance, we have found it extremely difficult to decide which manner was the proper one to adopt. It seems unnecessary to say more in presentation of our work to its patrons. They will judge it upon its merits, and we trust it will meet their approval. It has been our design to trace in it the progress of the county of Columbia in such a manner as to show clearly to the reader of the present day its gradual development from the original wilderness, and through the maturing stages of its existence, up to its present condition of enlightenment and prosperity, and to illustrate in plain and simple story the privations, the virtues, the piety, patriotism, and enterprise of her people. How far we have succeeded in accomplishing this purpose, the public verdict will decide. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
