From this elevation they often watched the movements of the inhabitants as they went out to work in their gar dens and adjoining fields, and several were killed within gun shot of the garrison. Of these tragical events no one possesses more inter est than that ia which the Hon. R. J. Meigs, late governor of Ohio, was engaged - it is as follows.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Pioneer, 1843, Vol. 2 IN presenting this volume to its readers, it is perhaps necessary just to say that the objects presented in the first volume will be pursued with increased ardor, and, it is to be hoped, with better effect. We have become, if possible, more thoroughly convinced of the necessity that exists for a work of this kind. It is our intention not to continue articles from one number to another where it can be avoided. In order to enable us to give long and interesting articles entire, but most especially to favor subscribers, we have arranged to increase the size of each number: for particulars, see volume I, page 440. Our American Chronology and Table of Indian Tribes must necessarily be continued; and when these reach one hundred years nearer our time, not only the tables themselves but the work also, will become more interesting.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of a Pioneer I was born in Bartow County, Georgia, on the 22md day of January, 1829. Sometime during my in fancy, and at a period too early to be remembered, my father and his family moved to East Tennessee, where we lived until I was ten years old. About this time re ports concerning the Platte Purchase and its splendid farming land began to reach us. I do not now recall the exact channel through which these reports came, but I think some of our relatives had gone there and had written back urging us to come. My father final ly yielded and in the spring of 1839 sold his Tennessee farm and prepared for the long journey overland. I was old enough at the time to take some note of what passed, and I remember that my father received four thousand dollars for his land in Indiana shin plas ters. I recall also the preparations that were made for the journey - the outfitting of the wagons, gathering the stock together, and most important of all, the part assigned to me. I was provided with a pony, saddle and bridle and given charge of a herd of loose cattle and horses. We had a rude camp outfit and car ried along with us all the household plunder with which we expected to start life in the new country. As may be well imagined, there was not a great deal of it, although the family was large. In those days the peo ple had to be satisfied with the barest necessities. Some idea of the extent of this part of my father's worldly property may be given by saying that the entire outfit, including camp equipment, was loaded into two wagons. I shall never forget the morning we started. Everything had been loaded the day before, ex cept the articles necessary to the sojourn over night. We were up bright and early, had breakfast in little better than camp style, and were off before sun up. My father, mother, and the younger children took the first wagon, and one of my brothers and my sisters the second. I was upon my pony and in my glory. The wagons moved forward and I rounded up the cattle and horses and forced them along after the wagons. I was too young to feel any tender sentiment toward the old home or to appreciate the fact that I was leav ing it forever, but I remember that my father and mother often looked back, and as we passed over the hill out of sight, I saw them turn and wave a long farewell. Many times since I have thought of that scene and have learned to know full well its meaning to my father and mother.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of a Pioneer Never again will the same primitive condi tions and circumstances be seen or re - enacted within the wide borders of these United States, for the wild grandeur of the scenes in this once vast desert plain has been destroyed. The quiet repose of beast and bird has been disturbed, or they have become extinct. The enterprise of man and the railroad have entered into all the wild places of the Great West, and opened them up to civilization. The buffalo and Indian no longer roam the plains; the stately elk and the fleet-footed antelope no longer make a living picture against the pale blue sky; nor does the heavy; freight wagon drawn by six yoke of oxen, or five span of mules, steer its way over the hills and prairies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pioneer Fringe Six years ago, encouraged by David White, at that time the Home Secretary of the National Academy of Sciences and an officer Of the National Research Council, I presented a plan of research in pioneer settlement to the latter organization. After two years' consideration by a special committee, and by the Division of Geology and Geography, the National Research Council approved the plan and recommended it to the Social Science Research Council. The latter organization, after similar consideration for two years, gave its approval and provided generously for the support of the first project. This made it possible for the members of the Advisory Committee of the American Geographical Society to prepare a detailed plan of research in the Canadian field, a plan that has since been vigorously prosecuted by Canadian scholars through the Canadian Pioneer Problems Committee, with results that Will be published in the near future. At the same time the Council Of the American Geographical Society generously set up a separate fund for the support of related work on a more limited scale in several other regions. The Social Science Research Council and the American Geo graphical Society have also contributed to a joint fund for the publication of a series of papers entitled Pioneer Settlement by thirty authors who are specialists in the field and familiar with the regions With which they deal. The Pioneer Fringe is intended as an introduction to this companion volume and to the various publications that the plan will call into being and deals with the ideas that moved the three supporting organizations to give their approval.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pioneer Laymen of North America, Vol. 1 Some of them are ideal heroes and may be proposed as models; the glory of others is sadly tarnished; and a few are subjects of reproach. From all, however, lessons of conduct may be learned, and, here and there, in the course of a narra tive, it is possible to correct certain false appreciations of facts and motives which a class of biased writers have fastened on American history. The series is arranged chronologically so that the various sections connect more or less with each other.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Literary Pioneers: Early American Explorers of European Culture One of the 'most important contributions to American intel lectual life in the nineteenth century resulted from the romantic impulse which impelled a group of aspiring young scholars to pursue their studies in foreign countries. George Ticknor and Edward Everett, as students at the University of Gottingen, were the earliest of the pioneers in this movement. In the course of years they were followed by Joseph Green Cogswell, George Bancroft, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, John Motley, and others of distinction. Their return to pursuits in various fields of knowledge in this country lent a powerful impetus to the progress of learning and to the enrichment of our cultural de velopment. The purpose of this volume is to record the many interesting relationships which these internationally minded men experienced in Europe, especially in Germany, and to show the part which they played afterwards in the advancement of American life. The revelation is found principally in their journals and correspondence, which furnish many parallels of impressions.

From the green depths came the fluting of a lone wood-thrush. Through them an owl flew on velvety wings for his home in the heart of a primeval poplar. A cougar leaped from the low limb of an oak, missed, and a shuddering deer streaked through a forest aisle, bounded into a little clearing, stopped rigid, sniffed a deadlier enemy, and whirled into the wilderness again.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Roger Williams: The Pioneer of Religious Liberty In 1834 Professor James D. Knowles pub lished a memoir Of Roger Williams, which, though encumbered with documents, was a valuable contribution toward a more cor rect estimate of the character and work Of this great reformer. This, in 1846, was fol lowed by a shorter life written by Professor William Gammell of Brown University; and in 1852 Rev. Dr. Romeo Elton published a life containing some additional data de rived from the Sadleir correspondence. All of these biographies are long out of print. Since these were written some valuable ad ditional material has been discovered. I have freely consulted this, as well as every reliable source of information, especially the records and the works Of Roger Williams himself. Wherever possible I have let him speak through his own writings, as best cal culated to illustrate his motives and personal characteristics. He was the pioneer Of Re ligious Liberty. His whole life throbbed with that principle, upon which as a basis he was the first to establish a political com munity. The influence Of his lively experi ment I will not attempt to measure. He was the apostle Of the American system Of a free Church in a free State. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
