Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Biographical Record of Ogle County, Illinois: Illustrated In one of his published reminiscences, Albert Woodcock, an old citizen of the state, speaks of the debate at Freeport, and the part taken in it by Mr. Hitt: A stand was erected in the field adja cent to the city. Thousands of people gathered about-the platform. The speakers were ready. The throng was impatient. The tall form of Lincoln arose. He looked anxiously over the crowd. He called out: 'where's Hitt? Is Hitt present?' Hitt, from the extreme outskirts of the living mass, answered, 'here I am, but I cannot get to the platform.' The good-natured people understood the situation. They seized the slender youth and passed him over their heads to the stand. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Land and labour written by Martin Crawford and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2024-06-04 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Land and labour provides the first full-length history of the Potters’ Emigration Society, the controversial trade union scheme designed to solve the problems of surplus labour by changing workers into farmers on land acquired in frontier Wisconsin. The book is based on intensive research into British and American newspapers, passenger lists, census, manuscript, and genealogical sources. After tracing the scheme’s industrial origins and founding in the Potteries, it examines the migration and settlement process, expansion to other trades and areas, and finally the circumstances that led to its demise in 1851. Despite the Society’s failure, the history offers unique insight into working-class dreams of landed independence in the American West and into the complex and contingent character of nineteenth-century emigration.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Ogle County, Illinois, Containing a History of the County-Its Cities, Towns, Etc: A Biographical Directory of Its Citizens, War Record of Its Volunteers in the Late Rebellion, General and Local Statistics; Portraits of Early Settlers and Prominent Men For these reasons it is not to be expected this volume will be entirely accurate as to names, dates, etc., or that it will be so perfect as to be above and beyond criticism, for the book is yet to be written and printed that can justly claim the meed of perfection; but it is the publishers' hope, as it is their belief, that it will be found measurably correct and gener ally accurate and reliable.

If in such a multiplicity of names, dates, etc., some errors are not detected, it will be strange, indeed. Such' as it is, our offering is completed, and it only remains for us to acknowledge our obligations to the gentlemen named below for the valuable information furnished by them, without which this history of Ogle County would not be so voluminous and com prehensive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before the Civil War, the livelihood of most Americans was involved in some way with farming. Yet, because of a lack of readily available information on workers, farm labor has long been neglected by historians. Filing a major gap in the history of American agriculture, labor, and the frontier, David Schob studies this distinctive aspect of American life in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota from 1815 to 1860. Through hundreds of details drawn from farmers' records, diaries and letters, county histories, newspapers, and periodicals, Schob evokes the farm laborer as he broke prairies, harvested grain, drained ditches, dug wells, and worked during off-season winter months logging, sawmilling, and pork packing. Farm work varied with the season and with the ethnic background of the hired hands, each group of immigrants introducing its specialized tasks to the region--the Irish as ditchdiggers and trenchers, the Germans as horticulturists, and the Scandinavians as wood choppers. Together, these groups not only contributed to the economic development of the Midwest, but according to Schob, they also accelerated the westward movement of the American frontier. In addition to providing detailed accounts of the workers' duties and way of life, and information on wages, contracts, and working conditions for routine farm employment, the book sheds light on several previously ignored facets of agricultural and labor history: the work of chore boys and hired girls, whose services were equally important to industrious farmers, and the role of free black farm hands, who augmented the white labor force in the harvest fields and the hazardous work of well digging.
