The Historic Mohawk (Classic Reprint)

Angebote / Angebote:

Excerpt from The Historic Mohawk HE aim of this little work is to treat the life story of our native Valley in a series of general essays depicting the peoples, the settle ments, the customs, and the struggles of its early days. As little reference as possible is made to individual biography. The names of our anoes tors have not been relegated to the obscurity of ancient family Bibles, nor their deeds left to be cherished by tradition alone. Our local histories have preserved them and accorded them place in settlement and in con¿ict, in church and in state. These same excellent works have likewise preserved the life details of our citizens down to the present day. Upon these grounds we would not encroach. The Historic Mohawk will not deal with statistics. It would depict the storied past with the broad strokes of the painter rather than the finer delineation of the etcher. With the dawn of the nineteenth century the story ends. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
