Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pioneer Sketches: Nebraska and Texas This little volume was begun while the compiler was editor of the Nuckolls County Herald, Nelson, Nebraska, in the spring of 1910, and was reprinted from a series of papers published in that newspaper. In May of that year, I moved to Hico, Texas, where I was elected editor of the News-Review. After entering my editorial duties in the latter office I resumed the publication of the sketches, but concerning Texas history only. These sketches are not as complete as they might have been, but are just as the articles appeared in the two above papers. It was not our intention to make a volume beautiful, but merely to record and preserve these items of history for future generations to read. If these chapters have entertained you, and incidentially instructed you, we feel repaid for our efforts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches of Some Early Shefford Pioneers My Dear Foster: - When you asked me a few months ago to write short biographical sketches to accompany ten portraits of men who had, in one way or another, been intimately connected with the early history of Waterloo in its growing days, and which portraits you intended to present to the Waterloo Public Library to ornament the walls of its Library Building, I decided off hand that I could not, and would not do it. Briefly, my reasons were lack of time, scarcity of material within reach, and inexperience in that kind of writing. On reflection, it occurred to me that, as an old, almost life long resident of Waterloo, I ought to be willing to show, however perfunctorily it might be, my appreciation of the generous donation of one whose interest could not have been influenced by local associations with the place or personal association with the men you have selected for the distinction mentioned. The reason you gave for your gift were such, as it seemed to me, left me no option but to meet your generosity as best I could in the sense you suggested. You gave me however, properly enough, a limit as to extent of the sketches, - which I confess to have exceeded in a couple instances, - and also their general direction. This may have hampered my pen, but I feel it was quite right you should do this, for you understood better than any one else the object intended.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pioneers of Old Hopewell: With Sketches of Her Revolutionary Heroes Adam Ege, mentioned in articles 25 and 26, the great great grandfather of Ralph Ege, was born about 1 725 and came to this country from Germany when about thirteen years of age. He was accompanied by two brothers, George and Martin. George settled in Cumberland Co Pa where a large number of his descendants still reside, and are eminent in church and state. The name of Martin appears as one of the witnesses to a deed given to Adam in 1 759, and is supposed to have settled in Philadelphia. That the family was of prominence in Germany, is evident from the fact that the Ege coat of arms is to be found on the tombstone of one of the family, who many years ago was Burgomaster of the town of Esslingen, Wurtemburg, Germany.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pioneers of Beverly: A Series of Sketches; With Supplementary Articles on the Municipal History For some time a goodly number of the older residents of the Township of Beverly have requested me to place upon record a short sketch of the early settlement of the Township, while some at least of the older people were alive. This work began last summer, in a series of letters to the newspapers. After I had got started I found that the work was taking a more extended scope than I had intended, and it was proposed that the letters should be gathered up and be reproduced in book form as a more convenient way of preserv ing them, and this suggestion has resulted in the publication of the present volume.

Download or read book History of Columbia County New York written by Franklin Ellis and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-08 with total page 636 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Columbia County, New York: With Illustrations and Biographical Sketches of Some of Its Prominent Men and Pioneers We present to the public this history of Columbia County - the result of much labor and research - with a feeling of confidence, tempered by a consciousness of unavoidable imperfection. To write a truthful history of any county or section of country is never a light or an easy task; but it becomes peculiarly onerous in the case of a county like Columbia, whose annals extend through more than two and a half centuries, and whose story must commence far back in the dimness of that ancient time when the dusky Mohicans first welcomed the pale-faced voyagers from beyond the sea. In such a field we have not expected to achieve absolute perfection and completeness of detail, but we have used our best endeavors to approximate as nearly as may be to that result. We have consulted many of the best and most reliable historical works bearing upon the subject, and have spared no labor in gathering material from the most thoroughly informed citizens of the county; and in these researches we have not been more anxious to collect all obtainable facts than to exclude everything of doubtful authenticity. The most difficult part of this, as of all similar works, is the obtaining of correct knowledge of the dates of first settlements, and the names of those who made them. Accounts of these are in most cases - especially in a region so anciently settled as Columbia County - transmitted through the medium of tradition; the different statements almost invariably disagreeing in material points, and not infrequently being wholly irreconcilable. In these extreme cases the historian has no resource except to give the differing accounts for what they are worth, and to submit the question to the judgment of the public. Another source of perplexity is found in the changes in orthography of many of the old names, particularly those of Dutch or of Indian origin, though it is by no means uncommon in those of the English. In old colonial records we not only find that, through the carelessness, caprice, or ignorance of the scribes of those days, names of persons and places are differently spelled by different writers, but that as many as four different orthographical constructions of the same word are sometimes found in the same document; so that, in more than one instance, we have found it extremely difficult to decide which manner was the proper one to adopt. It seems unnecessary to say more in presentation of our work to its patrons. They will judge it upon its merits, and we trust it will meet their approval. It has been our design to trace in it the progress of the county of Columbia in such a manner as to show clearly to the reader of the present day its gradual development from the original wilderness, and through the maturing stages of its existence, up to its present condition of enlightenment and prosperity, and to illustrate in plain and simple story the privations, the virtues, the piety, patriotism, and enterprise of her people. How far we have succeeded in accomplishing this purpose, the public verdict will decide. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
