Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Historical Account the Pocono Region of Pennsylvania Probably the truest estimate of Penn's peace policy with the Indians is obtained by considering that he neither originated the policy nor first introduced it into practical use, but that he was the first who gave it such prominence in the establishment of the Province as to instil into it a real dynamic force. A forcible illustration of similar conditions in modern times is furnished in Mr. Roosevelt's identification with anti-trust legisla tion, for notwithstanding the fact that he neither originated it, nor did he originally enforce it, yet he so aroused the public mind on the subject at a peculiar psychological period in the history of the nation, as to practically regenerate the anti-trust policy of the government, and under President Taft's administration of law and reason it became a distinct moral question to be reckoned with by all parties.

Excerpt: ...of all parties engaged, but the writer has failed to find any reliable evidence to support the charge that behind the brutality of the Proprietaries' actions was the sordid land-lust of the Quakers.41 Moravian Missions to the Indians. In preparing a historical account of a subject about which tradition is silent and no records exist except of the most general character, a writer is fully justified in utilizing such information as may be obtainable by reasonable deduction and inferences. Such a modus operandi, openly avowed, cannot mislead; and it is from the source thus opened that a connection is deducible between the Pocono region and one of the most glorious and elevating pages of American history, albeit seldom referred to and little appreciated--the Moravian Missions to the North American Indians. "Good 127; Chap. 131. 11 "Many people in Pennsylvania had opposed the expedition (Sullivan's against the Indians in 1779) from the first. The Quakers of Philadelphia, averse to all war on principle, were especially so to any measure which looked towards punishing the Indians, who. they alleged, were far more deserving of pity than blame for whatever excesses they might be guilty of; while what was known in that state in the Wyoming Controversy as the Pennamite party, which included men possessing large wealth and much political influence, who held title under Pennsylvania for considerable tracts of land in the Wyoming Valley upon which the Connecticut people had settled, while they prof essed to commiserate the sufferings of the people, did not hesitate to express their satisfaction at being clear of the hated 'Intruders, ' and their perfect willingness that the Indians should keep them out of the disputed territory until the war...

Download or read book Old Westmoreland written by Edgar W. Hassler and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-15 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Westmoreland: A History of Western Pennsylvania During the Revolution This book represents an effort to tell the revolutionary history of the Western Pennsylvania border; to describe the trials, the sacrifices, the errors and the heroisms of the frontiersmen, in their conflicts with tories, British par tisans and savages, during the years when Washington and his generals were fighting for independence along the Atlantic seaboard. The American Revolution covered many fields of action, and the operations on each con tributed to the grand result. The men who defended the western border against the savage tribes were doing their work essential to the cause of freedom as well as the ragged Continentals who faced British and Hessian battalions in New York or New Jersey. Naturally the operations in the East, where the main conflict raged and the issue was decided, have received the chief attention of historians; but the struggles on the west ern frontier have been unduly neglected. Some attention has been given to the revolutionary history of the New York and Tennessee frontiers, but no book tells, in con nected form, of the important operations in that great trans montane region of which Ft. Pitt was the center, during the years from 1775 to 1783. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Better in the Poconos written by Lawrence Squeri and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2010-08-02 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Antoine Dutot opened the Kittatinny Hotel&—the first tourist hotel in the Poconos&—in 1829, little did he know that he was a pioneer in what would become one of the largest and most diverse tourist and recreation areas on the East Coast. Although his initial venture failed, the tourist industry of the Poconos has been a long-term success, evolving and adapting to change. Better in the Poconos tells the story of Pennsylvania&’s premier vacationland from its earliest days to the present. The flourishing tourist and resort industry in the Poconos can be attributed, in part, to the area&’s splendid mountains, streams, and forests. But the timeless appeal of nature was matched, and even surpassed, by the resorts&’ ability to redefine themselves. In the mid-nineteenth century, William Cullen Bryant depicted the Pocono region as a hunter&’s delight, describing abundant game and sublime landscapes. The Victorian era, however, brought genteel carriage rides and croquet; later, specialized ethnic resorts catered to the minority populations of Philadelphia and New York; and in the 1940s and 1950s, the Poconos earned its reputation as a honeymoon paradise. This evolution continues today: the land of romance has given way to the ski resorts and water slides enjoyed by today&’s vacationing families. Poconos resort owners and innkeepers have long recognized the cutthroat competition inherent in the vacation business. Early on, they realized that they were vying not only with each other but also with other resorts&—first in the Catskills and on the New Jersey shore, and then in Florida, in the Caribbean, and even in Europe. Better in the Poconos illustrates the strategies by which resorts in northeastern Pennsylvania responded to these market forces. They were compelled to provide superior service and amenities as well as novel amusements and activities for their guests. In the latter half of the twentieth century, for example, &"super-resorts&" started to supplant the old hotels: the new resorts could offer year-round activities, thanks to the invention of artificial snow. Similarly, honeymoon hotels declined as couples resorts&—retreats that boasted such innovations as the heart-shaped bathtub and the Jacuzzi in the shape of a tall champagne glass&—emerged on the Poconos scene. Better in the Poconos recreates that scene and the people who brought it to life&—not only the innkeepers, souvenir sellers, laborers, and service workers, but also the community leaders and visionaries who promoted the vacation economy and sought to guide it. The proper Victorians, the devoted sportsmen, the young newlyweds, the families and singles, the staid ladies of the Women&’s Christian Temperance Union (and the sinners whose vices they wished to temper), the members of the Ku Klux Klan, the rich Quakers, the Jewish socialists, and the immigrants&—all these, and more, make up the humanly rich mosaic of the Poconos.
