Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rozier's History of the Early Settlement of the Mississippi Valley In 1850 Senator Rozier was a candidate for Congress, his Opponents being John F. Darby and Judge Bowlin, who was then Representative. Although he went out of St. Louis with a handsome majority, he was beaten by Darby by a few votes in the district. At that time he represented the Benton side of the political issues of the day. In 1851 he was elected Mayor of Ste. Gene vieve, when that city virtually controlled the mineral trade of Southeast Missouri. In 1854 he established at his native town an academy for the education of boys, in which he took a great interest for many years. In 1856 he was elected a member ofthe Legislature and served ably for two years. In 1858 he was elected Pre sident ofthe branch bank of the Merchants' Bank of St. Louis, located at Ste. Genevieve. In 1872 he waselected State Senator, without opposition, and has since been chairman of the Committee on Mines and Mining, a position for which he is admirably qualified by rea son Of his extensive mining operations in St. Francois, Jefferson, and other counties in Southeast Missouri. By his activity and influence he obtained a large amount from the Missouri Legislature, for the prosecution of the State geological survey. To go back a little, in 1845 Senator Rozier was a delegate to the Southwest Convention, at Memphis, of which John C. Calhoun was president, and made a re port, accompanied by a topographical map of the sub merged lands of South Missouri, which was approved by the Convention and attracted much attention.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Address on the Early Exploration and Settlement of the Mississippi Valley: Delivered in Davenport, Iowa, January 21st 1873 The country we now occupy on this western bank of the Mississippi, and of which, as American citizens, we are justly proud, has not descended to us as a rich inheritance from a venerable and time-honored ancestry. By an historic movement grander than that of the Jewish Exodus, and an irruption that throws into the shade the Norman conquest, we are the present the present century, and within the memory of living men, this Trans-Mississippi region has borne the name of a French, monarch and acknowledged the sovereignty of a Spanish king. Through what series of changes the present state of things, as now passing before our eyes, has been brought about, would seem not altogether devoid of interest to us, the now living actors, and will be of not less interest to those who shall come after us. Desirous to contribute something, however meagre, to this historic fund, I have endeavoured to bring together, in chronological order, some of the principal events in the early exploration and settlement of the Mississippi Valley, and to weave into my narrative such incidents as I have been able to gather up from the limited sources at my command, having any direct reference to our local history.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of the Mississippi Valley The centenary of the Louisiana purchase, now close at hand, about to be commemorated by the St. Louis Exposition, is turning the thoughts of men to the region in which lies the heart of the Union. At the present moment, too, the Mississippi Valley is about to become, so to speak, politically complete. Oklahoma possesses every requisite for statehood and will, so says report, probably with the Indian Territory make application for admission as a State at the next session of Congress. Should the application be granted, the last unorganized fragment of the area of the Mississippi Valley will receive a formal constitution. Such an event marks an epoch. In view of these circumstances, it is hoped that this little book may seem timely and prove useful. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Mississippi Valley: From Its Discovery to the End of Foreign Domination But the story of Gnadenhutten, written in blood that will not out, proves beyond doubt or question that the tepees and hats of every red village in the land might have been turned into Tents of Grace. It is a frightful fact that for every red man slain by by the whites, in the frontier wars, at least three whites were slain by the red. That fact is sufficient to damn the white policy, but it is not all; for because of the policy that was pursued by those who despised Qua ker sentiment, we are even now paying more than ten million dollars a year for the expenses Of the Indian Bureau. Yet the fact remains that the cost of convert ing the Delaware Indians of Gnadenhutten from the red savages, which they had been, to the stump-grub bing farmers, which they became, was less than the waste of any one of hundreds of Indian raids.

This book was released on 2018-01-07 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Trade and Travel in the Lower Mississippi Valley The predominating influence of the English over the native population in this region before 1755 was due mainly to the activity of the trader, but it was perhaps enhanced by the lack of land-hungry anglo-saxon pio users. It should be borne in mind, however, that the pres ence of the trader among the aborigines was by no means an unmixed blessing; in fact, he was everywhere the source of debauching and demoralizing influence. The Indian acquired from him all the vices and none of the virtues of the white man, and sufferedas much injury from the pampering of the trafficker as he did later from the crowding of the settler.

This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Discovery and Exploration of the Mississippi Valley Academy of History, Madrid, being the only American who has ever received this honor. Having a natural taste for linguistics, and finding as he pur sued his studies some knowledge of the Indian languages requisite he began investigating their structure, relationship, grammar, and vocabulary. His researches having brought together a num ber of manuscripts, chiefly by early missionaries, and regretting the general indifference among American scholars for such studies, he published in 1860 the first of a series in fifteen volumes of grammars and dictionaries of Indian languages, entitled Library of American Linguistics, several Of which he edited and pre pared. No individual or society has ever yet done SO much to save from oblivion the languages spoken by the aboriginal inhabi tants of this country. The articles on Indian tribes in Apple ton's Cyclopaedia are all from the pen of Dr. Shea. In 1857 he printed the first of a series, twenty-six little vol umes, from early manuscripts, chiefly relating to the missions. In these he adopted the type, initial letters, head-lines, and orna ments used by Cramoisy, King's printer at Paris, who published the Jesuit Relations. These volumes went mostly to amateurs here and in Europe, and are highly prized. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History and Geography of the Mississippi Valley, Vol. 1 of 2 A kind of affectionate feeling for the country, where he has enjoyed, and suffered, all that the human heart can be supposed capable of feeling on this side Of the grave, which contains his children, his charities, and all those ties, which call forth aspirations for its well-being, after he shall be in the dust, enlisted his first purpose to commence this work. The general amenity of its aspect, its boundless woods and prairies, its long and devious streams, and its unparalleled advancement in population and improvement, filled his imagination. He had seen the country, in some sense, grow up under his eye. He saw the first steam boat, that descend ed the Mississippi. He had seen much of that transformation, as if Of magic, which has converted the wilderness to fields and orchards. He has wished to transfer to others some of the impressions, which have been wroughton his own mind by witnessing those changes. Such were some of the motives, that impelled him to undertake this work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Discovery of the Valley of the Mississippi There being no work of the same compass, in the English language, devoted to this interesting branch of History, and it being especially intended for the use of Academies and schools, the author might have dispensed with the necessity of furnishing a preface to make the general reader acquainted with the character and object of the publication. He deems it necessary, however, to remark, that the following pages comprise an abstract of all that has been written in the books and manuscripts that are extant, relating to the early history of this part of the American Continent. The subject is one, which will no doubt be hereafter more fully developed, as the works of other writers are brought to light. In the mean time he has been obliged to rely chiefly on those sources of information, which are found in the scarce French works, that have been published on this subject, as well as in a few of the manuscripts of the early discoverers of the valley of the Missisippi, to which he has been permitted to have access.
