Download or read book The Pilgrims of Iowa Classic Reprint written by Truman O. Douglass and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pilgrims of Iowa Mr. Turner closed his work at Denmark in 1868, but he did not close his life until 1885; so that I was his contemporary here in Iowa for seventeen years. I knew personally all the other patriarchs, Gaylord, Reed, Holbrook and Emerson, though Gaylord and Holbrook had left the state before I came. Before 1868, Hutchinson and Spaulding of the Band had died, and Alden and Ripley had returned to New England. The other seven of the eleven were still associated with Iowa, although just then E. B. Turner was in Missouri; all these I knew well, and some of them intimately. With Ephraim Adams and Salter, I was in close association for more than forty years. (i protest, however, in spite of many statements to the contrary, that I was not a member of the Band!) Meet ing Brother Adams for the first time at a joint session of the Mitchell and Garnavillo Associations, at mcgregor in October of 1868, I said, Well, I never will get acquainted with that man, so quiet, so stately and so sedate! But I did get acquainted with him. He gave me the right hand of fellowship at my ordination, and he became to me the brother of all the brethren; and he came into my life as no other man in Iowa has done. He selected me for his successor at Decorah, but the church did not ratify the election! He did not choose me as his successor in the office of superintend ent, but I am sure he was glad to have me there. Tears will come now as I think of the wounding of his dear, sensitive heart in that he was permitted to lead the forces only to the borders of the Promised Land of self-support.

She has succeeded in fastening upon our people an interest bearing debt - bonds and mortgages - amounting to not less than twenty billions of dollars and thus she exacts from us a vastly greater tribute than from all' her direct dependencies. Her agents were sent over to prepare the way for our enslavement. Bonamy Price, the Oxford professor, travelled extensively here, lecturing in our principal cities and chief towns.

The noble wild turkey dwelt in the woods, and the prairie chicken and ruffed grouse were on every side, in meadow and in thicket. The numerous lakes and streams furnished fish, and afforded passage for the bark canoes. The plum and grape were to be had for the picking. The hickory-nut and the hazel nut were plentiful, and maize waved in the field. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

For its preparation, he has no apology to make.

Download or read book The Hollanders of Iowa Classic Reprint written by Jacob Van Der Zee and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-24 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Hollanders of Iowa The author of this volume on The Hollanders of Iowa was admirably fitted for the task. Born of Dutch parents in The Netherlands and reared among kinsfolk in Iowa, he has been a part of the life which is portrayed in these pages. At the same time Mr. Van der Zee's education at The State University of Iowa, his three years' resi dence at Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar, and his research work in The State Historical Society of Iowa have made it possible for him to study the Hollanders objectively as well as subjectively. Accordingly, his book is in no respect an over drawn, eulogistic account of the Dutch people. The history of the Hollanders of Iowa is not wholly provincial: it suggests much that is typi cal in the development of Iowa and in the larger history of the West: it is a story of the stubborn and unyielding fight of men and women who over came the obstacles of a new country and handed down to their descendants thriving farms and homes of peace and plenty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Winter Days in Iowa I am glad to have the privilege, thus in advance, of looking over Mr. Lazell's delightful essays. He has surely a gift in this sort of thing. We are grateful to the man who shows us what he sees in Nature, but more to the man who like our present author shows us how easy and blessed it is to see for ourselves. Mr. Lazell reminds me of Thoreau and Emerson, and I can suggest no better foreword than the passage from the last named author, from the Method of Nature, as follows: "Every earnest glance we give to the realities around us with intent to learn, proceeds from a holy impulse and is really songs of praise. What difference can it make whether it take the shape of exhortation, or of passionate exclamation, or of scientific statement? These are forms merely. Through them we express, at last, the fact that God has done thus or thus." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Iowa Band Classic Reprint written by Ephraim Adams and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-16 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Iowa Band Dear Brother: It was in November, 1843, that you welcomed to your home, your people, and the West, the brethren since known as The Iowa Band. At that time, as composing the ordained ministry of our denomination in the then Territory of Iowa, there were with you six others; to wit, Julius A. Reed, Reuben Gaylord, Charles Burnham, Allen B. Hitchcock, Oliver Emerson, and John C. Holbrook. From these, too, came a cordial welcome. This was twenty-five years ago; bringing us, and our mission work here, to the Silver Wedding time. It is usual, on such occasions, in the presence of friends whose sympathies make the joys common to all, to revive the history of the parties, and reminiscences of the past. In this little book, as a Home Missionary offering in honor of that noble Society which we all love, there is given, first, a brief history of the Band, followed by a few facts and scenes from out our common efforts; with such reflections, in passing, as by a review of quarter-century labors, are naturally suggested: all of which, with due thanks to the Master, you will permit, as one of the first Congregational Ministers of Iowa, and one whom we all love to call Father Turner, to be to you dedicated.

Download or read book Other States written by Lincoln Financial Foundation Collection and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Other States: Iowa Mr. Lincoln replied to that speech the following evening from the same balcony in front of the Tremont Hotel. It was this speech that gave Lincoln's friends courage that he could master the Little Giant in debate. Douglas then started out to make a campaign of the state with Lincoln hot on his trail, Douglas generally speaking in the morning and Lincoln in the afternoon. This was the case up to Bloomington where Douglas spoke in the afternoon and Lincoln in the evening. The next day they met at Springfield. This was Lin colns home but a Douglas stronghold. The day was rainy and sultry. Douglas spoke first, Lincoln following. Lincoln was dressed in a linen suit with a long tailed linen coat. A severe thunder shower drenched the crowd, but they stood to listen. Lincoln was drenched and his linen suit stuck close to him as he refused the offer of an umbrella. He stood through it all, driving home the telling points against Douglas to the delight of his friends. He expected Douglas to challenge him to a joint debate. These meetings continued until July 24, 1858, when Lincoln sent Douglas a note suggesting they divide time and address the same audiences. Douglas did not want to debate with Lincoln, but he knew if he declined, he would lose the election. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
