Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Philadelphia, Vol. 4: A History of the City and Its People, a Record of 225 Years Cadiz and his means were limited, he tied his clothing and few books in a bundle and started on foot, a distance of ninety miles, with eleven and a quarter dollars in his pocket. He arrived the third day and was cordially received by Dr. Elliott and invited to board in his family. He further pursued his own education as well as assisting Dr. Elliott in his classes, and when the latter was absent for two or three weeks, Mr. Simpson had entire charge of his department. His stay in college, however, was brief. Shortly after his return home his eldest sister who had been assisting their uncle in teaching, was married and Bishop Simpson's services were needed in that school. It was also thought best to change this from a private school to an academy, which was done. In 1831 Bishop Simpson found his health greatly affected from close appii cation to study and by frequent attendance at night meetings. He felt that in stead of devoting himself to general study it was his duty to select some special profession for life. He then determined to practice medicine and became a stu dent in the office of Dr. Mcbean, his former teacher in the classics. He spent three years in familiarizing himself with the principles of medicine and in that time provided for his own support through occupying a position in the clerk's office. In April, 1833, after completing the study of medicine he passed the re quired examination before the medical board of Ohio. About that time he was asked if he did not believe he, should give his life to the ministry. He had been licensed a few weeks before as an exhorter and in a short time received notice that he had been recommended for a license as local preacher, also to attend the next quarterly conference. He was licensed and recommended by the quar terly conference for admission to the Pittsburg conference. The week following the quarterly meeting he preached his first sermon in the Methodist church in New Athens, Ohio, but he was needed at home by his mother and sister, who were ill, so he concluded to remain with them for a time at least. And entered upon the practice of medicine in May, 1833. He was also appointed the third preacher on the circuit where he lived in July of that year, and was requested to spend Sundays preaching in Cadiz and St: Clairsville, sixteen miles away. This he did and thus became actively connected with church work. In March, 1834, he closed his office, and, taking his horse and saddle bags, began traveling as an itinerant minister. At the next quarterly meeting he was assigned to a church in Pittsburg and later was made minister of the Liberty Street church in Pittsburg.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Philadelphia, Vol. 1: A History of the City and Its People; A Record of 225 Years However, wide as the scene may be, the figure of the city must loom above\ everything else when its picture is to be drawn, and, if it seem to be the hub of the universe, as the narrative proceeds, this will be only because in holding the mirror up to truth Philadelphia is seen to occupy this position in reference to the rest of the country. It is in no mere antiquarian spirit of quest for separate or curious facts that this account will be rendered, but with some recognition of the philosophy lying back of what men and women for two centuries and a' quarter have done within the limits of the most interesting of all our American neighborhoods. It is sometimes said that Philadelphia's history was slow to begin in view of the settlements established at earlier dates on the Atlantic coast. St. Augus tine Quebec New York (a trading post in 1613 and a city in Boston and other towns may boast of an earlier establishment, as a result of accidents to navigators or by favor of their natural location. The site of Philadelphia lay some ninety miles up a bay which narrowed into a river, not eagerly ascended by mariners who were few and unskilful. The tasks of the explorer on the intricate coasts of a great unknown continent were many, and the Delaware escaped intelligent attention for many years.

Download or read book Philadelphia Stories written by Fredric Miller and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 1988 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philadelphia Stories is a kind of family album. As in their earlier volume, Still Philadelphia: A Photographic History, 1890-1940, Miller, Vogel, and Davis have collected photographs of ordinary lives and daily events from 1920 to 1960 that have shaped the collective memory of people in the Philadelphia area. Through a series of photo essays, Philadelphia Stories evokes the mood of an era that embraced the Great Depression, World War II, the Cold War, and the complacent prosperity of the 1950s. Contemporary photos document physical changes in the metropolitan area: the developing skyline, the streets of rowhouses, the expanding suburbs. Details on homelife, food prices, school activities, local politics, shopping, social mores, and neighborhood customs chronicle experiences that are in many ways distinct to Philadelphians but also indicative of dramatic social, political, and economic shifts in the United States over forty years. Using photojournalism as the dominant style of documentary photography—and consciousness making—the book also features three prototypical family albums. These collections of snapshots taken by local residents to record weddings, holidays, and other family events not only depict how people saw themselves at various times but reveal the kinds of memories they wanted to keep. While major national events create the context for this social history, the book focuses on the daily lives of Philadelphians: as they cope with the Depression, participate in New Deal programs, buy automobiles and television sets, grow Victory Gardens, hold air raid drills, visit the Freedom Train, move to the suburbs, cling to old neighborhoods, and maintain tradition amid flux.Philadelphia Stories celebrates the recent past in the words and images of those who experienced it. It is a family album for all who know and love the city. Author note: Fredric M. Miller is Curator of the Urban Archives Center, Paley Library, Temple University.Morris J. Vogel is Professor of History, Temple University.Allen F. Davis is Professor of History, Temple University.
