Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pioneer Days in the Early Southwest Three miles northeast of Muskogee the Verdigris and Grand rivers half a mile apart, discharge their waters into the Arkansas, which thus augmented, ows in a southeasterly direction to the Mississippi, six hun dred miles distant by the course of the stream. This junction of the three rivers, establishing the head of navigation, became known in early times as the Three Forks, or more commonly, as the mouth of the Ver digris. In the days when river navigation played such a tremendously important part in the life of this west ern country, the mouth of the Verdigris maintained for many years an importance that long since has passed away and been forgotten. As a trading center and theatre of military and more peaceful operations in the winning of this country, it was second to none west of the Mississippi.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Pioneer Days in Texas Friends, early pioneers and settlers and a few remaining schoolmates of our log cabin school days: I write these lines in commemoration of the days of long ago; the days that were spent in preparation for the glorious results which have come to Texas and her people. The younger gen eration cannot know nor understand the dangers, nor the inconveniences, that beset us in the early days; neither can they comprehend how tedious was the slow and labored journeys we had to make to go from place to place. Now it is an easy task to travel two or three hundred miles a day, and at little cost, but in those days when we had to pick our way through vast country expanses and find our road the best we could as we went along, it was a tedious and expensive journey, both because of expenditure of energy and of means as well.

This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pioneer Days in the San Bernardino Valley Six years ago it seemed advisable that an authentic narrative of pioneer days in this valley should be left on record, and with that object in view I devoted more than two years making research and writing, preparatory to compiling a volume. In this I shall briefly speak of the work of the devoted Franciscan Fathers, who opened the way for civilization to enter the valley; then of the pioneers, who began the settlement of the city of San Bernardino; of the opening and development of the Eastberne Valley, of Grafton, Lugonia and Redlands. For the facts concerning the labors of the Catholic missionaries, I am indebted to Father Juan Caballeria, who kindly gave me permission to quote from his interesting history. As to the labors of the pioneers, it has been my happiness to be closely associated with many of these noble men and women, and from time to time I have gathered the valuable facts and interesting incidents that are embodied in this volume. For information regarding Eastberne Valley I am under obligation to Messrs. C. R. Paine, Geo. A. Cook, E. G. Judson, and Dr. Ellen Seymour; also to the Redlands Illustrated Facts for important data. For any errors that may have found their way into these pages, and for any omissions, I hope to be forgiven; and now I offer this little book to the descendants of those whose devotion inspired it, hoping that it may preserve the memory of heroism seldom equaled and never surpassed.

Download or read book Reminiscences of Pioneer Days in Wood County and the Maumee Valley written by C. W. Evers and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences of Pioneer Days in Wood County and the Maumee Valley: A Pioneer Scrap Book The purpose of this book is to preserve to the people of Wood county and the Maumee Valley some of the historic facts and interesting incidents of its early days and to present them in an entertaining and readable form. The plan of making it scrap-book-fashion originated with my father and an outline of the work had been arranged by him and left - an unfinished task. The further preparation and compilation was then entrusted to the trained hand of Mr. F. J. Oblinger, who has, with pains-taking care, from a mass of manuscript, notes, clippings and other material, condensed the gleanings of a life time into these pages. I am also under obligations to Mr. John E. Gunckel, of Toledo, for his kindness in permitting the use of a number of cuts from his "Early History of the Maumee Valley." The publication I have undertaken, personally, as a memorial to my father, from whose pen most of the articles have come. Some are now in print for the first time, while others have appeared during his years of active newspaper work. My father's labors in this direction were purely out of love for the work. All history appealed to him, but the early struggles of Wood county pioneers was a chapter so replete with tragic interest, so tinged with romance, so filled with human endeavor and its achievement that it called forth his highest admiration. It seemed fitting, therefore, that the final effort of his life should have been a record of these events and with this thought in mind and the grateful encouragement and friendly interest extended by his old associates, both personally and as members of the Pioneer and Historical societies, I have ventured to complete the work.
