Excerpt from Biographical and Genealogical Notes of the Provost Family From 1545 to 1895In this free Republic, where the citizen, however poor and unknown, is every inch a king, pride of birth and ancestry, until recently, was so rare, that it was quite uncommon to meet such kings able to tell who were or whence came their grandparents. But as the age of government and the wealth of its people increase, we find, among the cultured especially, many who desire to know, and hand down to their posterity, the names, station in life, and the positions of honor and trust which their forefathers bore and filled prior to their migration - during the colonial period - and the heroic parts they acted in the war for liberty, which resulted happily in the Federal Union, our Nation's birth.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
