Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memorial and Family History of Erie County, Vol. 1: New York History, as the word was once understood, applied almost exclusively to the transactions of nations. Historical narrative was a panorama, wherein the details were lost in the general efiect. As history has become less of an art and more of a science, there is an increasing tendency to dwell on local environment, and to amplify the intimate, personal relation of men to events. This is a significant truth. It shows that the advanced intelligence of mankind cannot rest content with the worn-out notion that any existent condition of affairs, any given state of civilization, is due to a few great men, and to a small number of important episodes. Just as the victories of war are won by the rank and file, rather than by the generals, so the triumphs of progress are gained by the many. As the family is the unit of the town, so the individual is the unit of the family. So widely are these considerations accepted, and so firmly have they become established, that a large share of the most careful current historic research is devoted to locali ties. Specialization of this character logically leads to emphasis on the influence of persons. Thus the boundary line between history and biography disappears, and the dry bones of facts are vitalized by human interest. The purpose of the memorial and family history or erie county, new york, -is concisely expressed by its title. In the scheme of narration, the publishers have not circumscribed the plan of the work by any sharply defined limits. While the sketches of individuals are, it is hoped, terse enough to preserve the quality of readability, they are more than a mere statement of facts and dates. Living characterization has been kept in view, and it has been sought, in each instance, to grasp the salient traits of the subject and to show, in a clear light, the chief points of his career. A special feature of these volumes, is the genealogical department, giving condensed accounts of ancestries, which have the uses but not the cumbersomeness, of works purely devoted to genealogy, and may serve as a basis for genealogical research. It is believed that, apart from the natural interestindividuals have in preserving some reliable history of their families, these volumes may often be profitably consulted by the lawyer, the conserver of public records, the examiner of titles, the editor and the general business man.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Erie County, Pennsylvania, Vol. 1 of 2 Now, that this history is written, I feel that whatever of merit and of usefulness it may be found to contain, is due largely to those whose former gratuitous services have made available the material from which this work has been compiled. It is to those who have lived, and labored, and re corded the current events, that our. Appreciation should now be tendered. An event or a human accomplishment that does. Not either leave its own record of results, or that has not had a faithful memorial of its occur rence, might as well never have been for all the value its happening will be to future generations. Therefore, it is with pleasure that the writer reminds those who read the pages of this work, that we are all indebted to a very great many persons who have lived, and acted, and preserved for us a more or less complete record of early struggles and defeats; of early effort and suc cess; of former causes and effects; that the narrative of their experiences may serve as a beacon light upon the highway of our lives, and the lives 'of those who shall come after us, pointing out the way for sure success.

Download or read book Edison and the Electric Chair written by Mark Essig and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2009-05-26 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas Edison stunned America in 1879 by unveiling a world-changing invention--the light bulb--and then launching the electrification of America's cities. A decade later, despite having been an avowed opponent of the death penalty, Edison threw his laboratory resources and reputation behind the creation of a very different sort of device--the electric chair. Deftly exploring this startling chapter in American history, Edison & the Electric Chair delivers both a vivid portrait of a nation on the cusp of modernity and a provocative new examination of Edison himself. Edison championed the electric chair for reasons that remain controversial to this day. Was Edison genuinely concerned about the suffering of the condemned? Was he waging a campaign to smear his rival George Westinghouse's alternating current and boost his own system? Or was he warning the public of real dangers posed by the high-voltage alternating wires that looped above hundreds of America's streets? Plumbing the fascinating history of electricity, Mark Essig explores America's love of technology and its fascination with violent death, capturing an era when the public was mesmerized and terrified by an invisible force that produced blazing light, powered streetcars, carried telephone conversations--and killed.
