Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Two Centuries of Pennsylvania History Pennsylvania justly merits the proud title, "The Keystone State." Her history more than her geography gave her commanding relations to the sister colonies clustered along the western margin of the Atlantic. Her great founder and first English owner, William Penn, is the noblest character in America's colonial history. In Pennsylvania every creed and every nationality was not only tolerated but welcomed. Her colonial life was more complex than that of any sister colony. To mould this life, so unlike in nationality, in religion, in civic ideals, and in industrial experience, into a unified people is one of the noblest records in the annals of any nation. To the credit of her people this was done without persecution and without coercion. Three great groups of people laid the foundations of the Commonwealth. The Quakers, under the great Penn, occupied the territory within a radius of thirty-five miles, giving themselves to commerce in Philadelphia and to agriculture in the fertile valleys of Bucks, Chester, and adjacent counties. Beyond these, in a zone fifty miles wide, settled the sturdy and patient Germans, giving birth to German-American literature, establishing Protestant missions among the Indians, tilling with signal success the fair acres of Berks, Lancaster, Lebanon, Cumberland, and contiguous counties, founding the great textile industries of the Schuylkill Valley, and developing a home life unique for its strength and its simplicity. Beyond these, in the valleys between the Blue and the Alleghany Mountains, lived the sturdy Scotch-Irish pioneers, pushing the frontier to the Ohio Valley, repelling Indian attacks, provoking strife by their restless haste to penetrate the wilderness, and establishing churches and schools in every valley and upon every hill-top of the interior.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Pennsylvania When historical societies for study and research in Pennsylvania history - local and general - are multi plying all over the State, no apology is needed for writing a book on the subject. Pennsylvania has a history of more than two centuries. It consists, like that 'of the other States which separated from Great Britiain to form the American Union, of a Colonial, a Revolutionary, and a Constitutional period. It has always been a part of another history: first of Eng land, and then of the United States. This is true, not alone in a nominal, but in a real sense. United States history, whether its political, social, or indus trial side, is of a composite nature. Every State helps to make it. The contribution of the thirteen original States is the greatest, because they have a Colonial and 'a Revolutionary history. In Pennsyl vania these periods are especially interesting and im portant, though they have been sadly neglected.

Download or read book The Swedish Beginning of Pennsylvania and Other Events in Pennsylvania History Classic Reprint written by Thomas Willing Balch and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-01-07 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Swedish Beginning of Pennsylvania and Other Events in Pennsylvania History When the President a year ago invited me to address this notable Society at one of its annual meetings, but one answer, of course, could be given. And as I am a Pennsylvanian by almost two and three-quarter centuries of inheritance, I have chosen some events in the history of Pennsylvania as my theme for this occasion. Pennsylvania, as her name of the Keystone State implies, has had a notable history. During the Colonial period, owing to her geographical position, the large number of her population and her important commercial development, she was truly the Keystone Colony. And since the Declaration of Independence, owing in part still to her geographical position and also because of the influence that, through the large number of her people moving Westward and south westward, she has exerted in shaping and moulding the institutions of the Nation beyond the Alleghenies, Pennsylvania has come to be known all over the country as the Keystone State. Like every one of the other colonies or original States, Pennsylvania has contributed her share to the building and maintenance of the Union. Unfortunately the people of Penn sylvania possess only in a small degree an admirable quality which you here in Massachusetts have in large measure, a quality which I admire you for; and that is, that when anyone in the community has done some thing which is really worth the doing, to make it known not only locally but also in all the world besides.

There have been numerous essays toward it. From the time of Robert Proud down to a more recent day. Some of them worthy of much appre ciation and deserving of high praise.

Download or read book Chronicles of Pennsylvania Vol 1 of 2 written by Charles P. Keith and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chronicles of Pennsylvania, Vol. 1 of 2: From the English Revolution to the Peace of Aix-La-Chapelle, 1688-1748 The settlement of the banks of the Delaware by Dutch, Swedes, and Quakers has been sufficiently minuted not only in printed records, but in histories which are accessible. Similarly those events of the struggle for British supremacy and of the struggle for American independence which took place within the present boundaries of Pennsylvania are too well known to require fresh narration. As to the long period not covered by these subjects, not only data as to local development, but much information as to general affairs will be found in volumes devoting most space to earlier or later times. But for the valuable contribution made by such, there would be little knowledge of men and things between the arrival of the last shipload of Quakers and the first steps in the French and Indian war. The standard works on Pennsylvania in the XVIIth and XVIIIth Centuries may be described as a panegyric upon William Penn, the Acta as a wonder-worker of Benjamin Franklin, or an epic about George Washington. Much matter, less vivid, but worthy of observation, even any mention of certain years, is omitted. The complete story of successive administrations and their achievements or failures, of antagonistic religions, alien immigrations, relations with aborigines, and the legislature's adherence, under repeated temptation, to the principle of not engaging in war, is, in consequence, to be hunted widely in monographs, published correspondence, and parts of a number of books, many on special lines.
