Our Country and Its People: A Historical and Memorial Record of Crawford County, Pennsylvania (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Our Country and Its People: A Historical and Memorial Record of Crawford County, PennsylvaniaNo more interesting subject for investigation by the student of historv can be brought to his attention than the colonization Of this continent. The colonization of a county was dependent upon the larger question of the success or failure of the three great nations - the Spanish, the French and the Eng lish - which struggled for the mastery. Over the whole boundless expanse were scattered savage and warlike tribes whose trade was blood, and these had to be met. Penn had no sooner shaken the salt spray Of the ocean from his locks, and set his foot upon the domain granted by royal charter, with bounds as fixed and unchanging as the sun and stars in the heavens, than he was confronted by Lord Baltimore, who disputed his occupancy, and, would be satisfied with nothing less than a sixth part of his possession, and for more than a century Penn and his successors were confronted upon the south, the west, and the north by parties claiming generous Slices Of his goodly heritage. To ward them Off and hold their just rights, and to meet and pacify the red men of the forest, required the utmost stretch Of the diplomacy of the. Peace - loving s-pipit of the founder.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Kessinger Publishing

<p>This useful offprint contains biographical sketches of approximately 800 southwestern Pennsylvania residents. The sketches are of Greene County families predominantly, though unavoidably some sketches concern families of Washington or Fayette County provenance. The biographies are conveniently arranged in alphabetical order within township and borough and generally treat subjects who were born in the early nineteenth century, with reference to immediate forebears of the late eighteenth century. Typical sketches mention the date and place of birth and marriage of the biographee; the name of his wife and the names of his children; names with dates and places of birth of his parents and often grandparents; sometimes the name of the first ancestor in America; and details of religion, education, military service, occupation, home, and residence.</p>
