Excerpt from 20th Century History of Steubenville and Jefferson County, Ohio and Representative Citizens F. W. Putnam remarked upon the distinct nose with which the patina or Velvety ox idation had been preserved, indicative of the conditions in which it was said to have been found, and in itself bearing evidence of great antiquity. F. H. Cashing, the t'muous Zuni ethnologist, declared that there could he no question that it was a finished implement and not a reject and that not only had it been finished by careful chipping all along the. Edge, but it had been finished twice, having been at least once reshaped upon its cutting edge and, what is of special significance, that it had been sharpened not by the more modern processes in which the chips were broken from the edge by pressing against it with a piece of bone, but by the older process of striking against the edge with another stone. The type of the implement also was pronounced by M r. Cashing to be the earliest known, althou h from the con venience of the form it as always con tinued in use. It was one, however, which appeared at the very dawn ot' human development. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
During the early weeks of 1848, as U.S. congressmen debated the territorial status of California, a Swiss immigrant and an itinerant millwright forever altered the future state’s fate. Building a sawmill for Johann August Sutter, James Wilson Marshall struck gold. The rest may be history, but much of the story of what happened in the following year is told not in history books but in the letters, diaries, journals, and other written recollections of those whom the California gold rush drew west. In this second installment in the projected four-part collection The Great Medicine Road: Narratives of the Oregon, California, and Mormon Trails, the hardy souls who made the arduous trip tell their stories in their own words. Seven individuals’ tales bring to life a long-ago year that enriched some, impoverished others, and forever changed the face of North America. Responding to often misleading promotional literature, adventurers made their way west via different routes. Following the Carson River through the Sierra Nevada, or taking the Lassen Route to the Sacramento Valley, they passed through the Mormon Zion of Great Salt Lake City and traded with and often displaced Native Americans long familiar with the trails. Their accounts detail these encounters, as well as the gritty realities of everyday life on the overland trails. They narrate events, describe the vast and diverse landscapes they pass through, and document a journey as strange and new to them as it is to many readers today. Through these travelers’ diaries and memoirs, readers can relive a critical moment in the remaking of the West—and appreciate what a difference one year can make in the life of a nation.

Book Description
Excerpt from History of Fairfield County, Ohio, and Representative Citizens We seldom forget the dreams of our youth - they are too dear to be forgotten. One of the youthful dreams of the author was the writing of this history. He longed for the time when he might tell the story of his native county - the county he loves so well. That dream has been realized, and here is offered, for the con sideration of the public, the work, imperfect as it is, not of youthful years, but of the calm, sober period of life. It is offered with the hope that it will give the reader as much real pleasure in the reading as it has brought the author in the writing. To write the history of a people, and to interpret the full meaning of events, is not an easy task. An earnest attempt has been made to record the facts, and to render due appreciation unto the humblest actor in the drama of this life-story. It is said we live in the century of achievements, and this is certainly true. But the Twentieth Century will produce nothing so great as its men and women. This volume is the history of men and women who have built a Commonwealth out of Nature's own material - and they builded wiser than they knew. No historian can write history unaided and alone, he must depend upon those who have made the records, or upon those who were a part of the events nar rated. He must consult the living and the dead - must weigh in the balance, impartially, the statements from whatever source, accepting or rejecting as the evidence warrants. Hence the author of this History has consulted many rec ords, and has been the recipient of much help from many sources. In all cases his requests have been honored and for this he feels especially grateful. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
