When such evi dence could not be had, my resort was to newspapers, pri vate letters or records or books written or published about that time, in the belief that such contemporaneous statements are more likely to be free from error than those made years afterwards. In some instances the private records and the public records differ, and the lat ter are followed, the entries being contemporaneous with the event.

This book was released on 2017-07-26 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pioneer Recollections of the Early 30's and 40's in Sandusky County, OhioHugh Bowland, Sr., the father of James Bowland, was born in Perry County, Ohio, in 1794, when there were two Indians to every white person in that region. He often played familiarly with the young Indians and learned to talk their language fluently. At the age of eighteen years he went as a substitute for his uncle, James mccormick, to serve as an American soldier in the war of 1812. He served till the close of' the war. He was one of the first to strike a lick to build Fort Meigs at Perrysburg. He used to relate a tragedy that occurred during that war. It took place near Manhattan, north of Toledo, and illustrates the character of the Indians. An American officer at Manhattan, recently married to a lady in Detroit, wished his wife brought from Detroit to his post at Manhattan. 80 he made a bargain with eight friendly Indians who for a certain reward promised to bring her safely to him. One of the most trusty of the band carried aprivate letter from him to her. She hesitated, but being encouraged by assurances in the letter, entrusted herself into the care of six male Indians and two squaws, and undertook the journey of sixty miles through the wilderness. The Indians treated her very kindly until near the end of their journey, helping her carefully through the tangled forests, and carrying her on a strech er of deer-hide stretched between two poles where the ground was soft and where the water sometimes was knee deep. They camped out three nights. She had a private tent by herself which was as carefully guarded at night, as she was m daytime.On the last morning of the journey and when they expected in a few hours to reach their destination and re ceive their reward they began to quarrel about the divis ion of the prize money; the one who carried the letter and did the managing claiming more than the rest. They were divided into two factions, and failing to agree, one of the factions tomahawked the woman, and leaving the dead body in possession of the other faction, skulked away into the forest. The four Indians 111 whose care the body was thus left, brought the corpse of the murdered woman into the camp of her husband. The Officer was obliged for his own safety to pay the prize money, but he was so horrified at the sight and so grieved at his irreparable loss that he pined away and died a few months later.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Lee From that early time I began to be impressed with my father's character, as compared with other men. Every member of the household respected, revered and loved him as a matter of course, but it began to dawn on me that every one else with whom I was thrown held him high in their regard. At forty-five years of age he was active, strong, and as handsome as he had ever been. I never remember his being ill. I presume he was indisposed at times; but no impressions of that kind remain. He was always bright and gay with us little folk, romping, playing, and joking with us. With the older children, he was just as companionable, and the have seen him join my elder brothers and their friends when they would try their powers at a high jump put up in our yard. The two younger children he petted a great deal, and our greatest treat was to get into his bed in the morning and lie close to him, listening while he talked to us i We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Early Pioneers and Pioneer Events of the State of Illinois: Including Personal Recollections of the Writer; Of Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Jackson, and Peter Cartwright, Together With a Brief Autobiography of the Writer The author of this book being now a citizen of the City of Oakland, State of California, and in the eighty-first year of his age, having been an early pioneer of the State of Illinois, having settled there with his parents in the year 1820, and having lived to witness the rise and progress and the development of that great State from its infancy, and having been familiar with many circumstances and events connected with the early history of that State, and having been well acquainted with Abraham Lincoln and Peter Cartwright from their first coming into the State up to the time of their respective deaths, and having also had the privilege and the opportunity of learning much about the early life and adventures of Andrew Jackson, was solicited by friends who had been informed of these facts to write for publication what he knew concerning pioneer times and those illustrious men. In compliance to such requests he wrote a number of articles which were published in the Fulton Democrat at Lewistown, Fulton County, Illinois, and which were copied into other newspapers, and since such publication he has been further solicited by many persons to have those articles compiled and published in book form, and they now here appear substantially as they were copied from those papers.

This book was released on 2015-07-28 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Personal Reminiscences and Fragments of the Early History of Springfield and Greene County, Missouri: Related by Pioneers and Their Descendants; At Old Settlers' Dinners Given at the Home of Capt. Martin J. Hubble, March 31, 1907, 1908, 1909, 1910, 1911 This book would not have been published except for the sug gestion of Father J. J. Lilly, after he had read of the first dinner I gave to the old settlers of Springfield. He suggested that my guests were the only persons now living who could tell of the early days as they really were, and of matters and things as they really existed, during the first few years of the settlement of Greene County. Realizing the truth of his statement, I herewith present the recollections of my guests, largely in their own lan guage, which may not attract the hypercritical, but will satisfy all those wanting to know our early history and of early set tlers, their integrity, perseverance and forcefulness. There is nothing about the late Civil War or things which occurred dur ing-or after it, except as to the death and burial of General Nathaniel Lyon, which is truthfully told by the only man' living who knows the facts, Dr. S. H. Melcher, now of Chicago, Illinois. The first dinner I gave was on the last day of March, 1906, fifty years after my arrival in the city. I sent out invitations written with a goose quill pen on a sheet of foolscap paper, and folded as we used to fold letters before envelopes were invented. They were all sealed with red wafers. The invitations were given to J. M. Kelley, J. R. D. Thompson, gig, Wilson, Captain John L. Holland, J. L. Carson, Judge J. Y. Fulbright, Hon. L. H. Murray, Dr. E. M. Hendricks, F. M. Shockley, and T. B. Holland. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
