Excerpt from Historic Treasures: True Tales of Deeds With Interesting Data in the Life of Bloomington, Indiana University and Monroe County, Written in Simple Language and About Real People, With Other Important Things and IllustrationsMany of the things of which Mr. Hall has written are within the memory of men and women still living. But the time will soon come when they will not be, for the places and faces that know them now will soon know them no more forever. It is well to preserve these accounts and to put. Them into easily accessible forms for those who come after us. It is a common observation that we are not interested-enough either in our ancestry or in our posterity. We live too much for the present. We forget how interested in'ins those will be who may be, here a hundred years from now, and we are prone to care too little, or we find it too difficult_to learn, about those who were here a hundred years ago. A work like Mr. Hall's tends 'to correct this unfortunate tendency, and to enable us not only to preserve for the future the life of the present generation, but to recover, in some degree, the knowledge of the genera tions that are gone.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
