Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of Pennsylvania: Or School Readings From Pennsylvania History The scotch-irish, earnest, aggressive, and fearless, defying all restraint and fearing no hostile neighbors, pushing to the frontier with farm and school and church, and training by hardship their sons for heroic service in the state. The common tie which held all these diverse elements together was religion. While Penn and his German allies were in the majority the peace policy of the Quakers dominated the life of the colony. The fostering, from conscientious motives, of the non-combative spirit made Pennsylvania notably conservative in offensive movements. This influence prevailed until the close of the struggle for independence, a struggle that brought new forces to the front and created a more aggressive policy. It was this newer influence that organized the state under the Constitution and placed Pennsylvania in closer touch with her sister states. Border friction between the colonies, and especially between the frontiersmen and the Indians, made Pennsylvania rich in In dian tales. Here wealth of sources made selection and rejection the task in presenting this phase of colonial life. The authors have consciously omitted much that is already familiar, or within easy reach of the reader. Special effort has been made to present the less familiar but by no means less important incidents in the development of our state. For this reason no life of Penn is attempted, and Franklin's career is not treated. With such familiar names as West, Muhlenberg, Logan, Dickinson, Morris, Decatur, Girard, Meade, Hancock, Kane, Ful ton, Perry, Taylor, Reed, Buchanan, Blaine, and many others, every teacher is acquainted. The illustrations are almost without exception historically cor rect. Many of them are for the first time presented to the public. In their preparation the authors owe a debt of gratitude to Julius F. Sachse of the Pennsylvania Historical Society, whose wide ac quaintance with the history of our commonwealth is abundant proof of their value. It is hoped that this little volume will arouse an intelligent and abiding interest in the history of the grand old Keystone State.

Download or read book Pennsylvania written by Randall M. Miller and published by Guida Editori. This book was released on 2002 with total page 722 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Keystone State, so nicknamed because it was geographically situated in the middle of the thirteen original colonies and played a crucial role in the founding of the United States, has remained at the heart of American history. Created partly as a safe haven for people from all walks of life, Pennsylvania is today the home of diverse cultures, religions, ethnic groups, social classes, and occupations. Many ideas, institutions, and interests that were formed or tested in Pennsylvania spread across America and beyond, and continue to inform American culture, society, and politics. Pennsylvania: A History of the Commonwealth is the first comprehensive history of the Keystone State in almost three decades. In it distinguished scholars view Pennsylvania's history critically and honestly, setting the Commonwealth's story in the larger context of national social, cultural, economic, and political development. Part I offers a narrative history and Part II offers a series of "Ways to Pennsylvania's Past" -- nine concise guides designed to enable readers to discover Pennsylvania's heritage for themselves. Pennsylvania: A History of the Commonwealth is the result of a unique collaboration between The Pennsylvania State University Press and The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC), the official history agency of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The result is a remarkable account of how Pennsylvanians have lived, worked, and played through the centuries.
