In the earliest tales, European settlers clashed with the Shawanese and Delaware Indians, and fiery local lawyer" "David Bradford led the Whiskey Rebellion. With the coming of the Civil War, the people of southwestern Pennsylvania overwhelmingly united to the cause of the Union--the LeMoynes of Washington and the McKeevers of West Middletown shepherded slaves to freedom, and Washington and Jefferson College sent its alumni to the key battles of the war. Join Branton as she journeys from the rough-and-tumble frontier days of Washington County to the twentieth century ushered in by coal, oil and iron rail.

Download or read book Washington County Wisconsin Vol 1 written by Carl Quickert and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Washington County, Wisconsin, Vol. 1: Past and Present "About five years ago I published a little German volume of sketches, mostly of a historical nature, on Washington county, Wisconsin, titled 'Gedenkblatter zur Besiedelung von Washington County, Wisconsin.' The work found a most hearty welcome among the foremost German scholars of the state. It was much more than I dared to expect for a book that had but a casual origin. The work at the time was pointed to as a model for other counties to follow. The collection of sketches first appeared as a serial article in the 'Beobachter, ' a weekly paper published at West Bend, Wis., the proprietors of which ventured to publish the book. The present work is essentially a translation of that book into English, done by me. Several chapters have been enlarged, others rearranged, or brought up to date, one is entirely new, while other things, especially the poetry of the first edition, have been omitted, for I was content to write a readable English prose. It was the desire to make the work available to English readers, that prompted me to translate it. History is likened to memory. A people who do not know their own history are like a man who has lost his memory. This should hold good also with reference to county history. The material of the sketches has been collected during the fourteen years in which I have held a German editorship in the county. It came from many sources, from old chronicles, old newspaper files, bulletins published by the state and the federal government, speeches on olden times, which I have listened to, recollections of old settlers with whom I became acquainted, and my own observations during all these years. If the reader will consider that the book was written in the few weary leisure hours that the wrestle with the fate of German newspaperdom in this country left, he will perhaps look kindly on the shortcomings of the work."
