Download or read book Pioneer Recollections written by Daniel S. Mevis and published by . This book was released on 1911 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contains the author's recollections of the early settlement and development of Lansing, Michigan, particularly during the late 1840s and early 1850s. Mevis's family moved there (1847) as it was being laid out as the future state capitol. Much of Pioneer Recollections is devoted to tales and anecdotes about pioneer life in Lansing and elsewhere. As a teenager, Mevis was a companion of members of the Okemos tribe of Indians, and he describes their mode of hunting deer and a small, dug-out canoe that the chief gave him. In addition to farm chores, serving as town crier, and working as a "printer's devil" at the local newspaper, Mevis sold refreshments at a tent show (McFarland's Pavilion Theater) and engaged in many entrepreneurial activities, which leads him to reminisce about Lansing's first businessmen. He also enjoyed sleigh rides, dancing parties, corn husking, logging bees, holiday celebrations, and many outdoor activities including hunting, fishing, searching for snakes, making maple sugar, and gathering greens, fruits, and wildflowers. Mevis includes a list of Lansing's early inhabitants, with photographs of some of the men.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of a Pioneer I was born in Bartow County, Georgia, on the 22md day of January, 1829. Sometime during my in fancy, and at a period too early to be remembered, my father and his family moved to East Tennessee, where we lived until I was ten years old. About this time re ports concerning the Platte Purchase and its splendid farming land began to reach us. I do not now recall the exact channel through which these reports came, but I think some of our relatives had gone there and had written back urging us to come. My father final ly yielded and in the spring of 1839 sold his Tennessee farm and prepared for the long journey overland. I was old enough at the time to take some note of what passed, and I remember that my father received four thousand dollars for his land in Indiana shin plas ters. I recall also the preparations that were made for the journey - the outfitting of the wagons, gathering the stock together, and most important of all, the part assigned to me. I was provided with a pony, saddle and bridle and given charge of a herd of loose cattle and horses. We had a rude camp outfit and car ried along with us all the household plunder with which we expected to start life in the new country. As may be well imagined, there was not a great deal of it, although the family was large. In those days the peo ple had to be satisfied with the barest necessities. Some idea of the extent of this part of my father's worldly property may be given by saying that the entire outfit, including camp equipment, was loaded into two wagons. I shall never forget the morning we started. Everything had been loaded the day before, ex cept the articles necessary to the sojourn over night. We were up bright and early, had breakfast in little better than camp style, and were off before sun up. My father, mother, and the younger children took the first wagon, and one of my brothers and my sisters the second. I was upon my pony and in my glory. The wagons moved forward and I rounded up the cattle and horses and forced them along after the wagons. I was too young to feel any tender sentiment toward the old home or to appreciate the fact that I was leav ing it forever, but I remember that my father and mother often looked back, and as we passed over the hill out of sight, I saw them turn and wave a long farewell. Many times since I have thought of that scene and have learned to know full well its meaning to my father and mother.
