Book Description
Excerpt from History of Royalton, Vermont: With Family Genealogies 1769-1911 It is a trite saying, that there is no road so long but that it ends somewhere. To some who have been expectantly waiting for the publi cation Of the History of Royalton, it may have seemed that the work of preparing the matter for the printer has occupied an unnecessary amount of time. A careful examination of the contents of the book, and a fair judgment of the amount of labor required in gathering, arranging, and preparing the matter for these pages and more will, I am sure, disabuse all minds of such an impression. The time required for the work has been greater than it would have been twenty-five or more years ago, when there were living those who could recall the events of the early days, as related by their fathers, all of whom have passed away, leaving little that is authentic. The condensed history of the town prepared at one time by the late Judge William H. Bliss for the Hemenway Gazetteer was destroyed by fire, and no copy was preserved. NO other effort is known to have been made toward a connected history of the town, except the material which the lamented Dr. Drake is said to have gathered. Unfortunately, that appears to have been lost or destroyed. This necessitated delving in the original records of this and other towns for nearly all the informa tion obtained relating to purely local matters. In the prosecution of my task, I have visited and examined the records of all the neighboring towns, searched the probate and county court records of Orange and Windsor counties, spent considerable time in the large libraries of Concord, N. H Montpelier, Vt Albany, N. Y., and Boston, Mass, and examined manuscript records in the offices of the Secretary of State in Montpelier, and in Albany, N. Y. Hundreds of genealogies, town histories, and State papers have been examined. It is not worth while to mention more in detail the labor performed, though this covers less than half the time occupied. That there are errors in the book is very probable. The copying of thousands of dates and names, and the conflicting records as found in town records, on tombstones, and in family Bibles makes absolute ao curacy impossible, but it is hoped that there are as few mistakes as are usually found in such a work, and that there is none of vital importance. Wherever there has been a conflict in dates, the town clerk's record has generally been accepted, especially after 1860. If errors are found, please refer to the Errata at the end of the volume to see if they have not been corrected. Credit must be given to the proof-reader of the Free Press Printing Company for calling attention to several mis takes that had not been detected.

Three Centuries and the Island
Author: Andrew Hill ClarkPublisher: University of Toronto Press
ISBN: 1442654805
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 516
Book Description
This study is one of the first in the field of historical geography to be published in Canada. Written after exhaustive research, it uses a particular approach to the study of historical agricultural geography which concentrates on the use of basic distributional evidence for the description and interpretation of the changing character of any region through any period of time. By the analysis of over 1200 maps, some of which form part of the text of the book, Professor Clark studies agriculture as the dominant economic activity of Prince Edward Island and traces with remarkable clarity through the changing patterns of land culture throughout the province. The book begins with a description of the natural geography of the Island which, despite its small size, shows surprising variety. It goes on to prove the necessity for careful consideration of the background of habit and prejudice of groups of different origin when studying the changing geographies of land use. The settlement of the Island is traced from the time it was used as a summer campground by the Micmac Indians. Details of the arrival of the first Acadians, the transfer to British rule, and the subsequent influx of Scottish, Irish, Loyalist, and English stock are given together with evidence of the effect their coming had on the agriculture of the region. One hundred and fifty-five maps and sixteen tables to illustrate the distribution of population by area and origin, changes in kind and distribution of crops, census of livestock, etc., from the early eighteenth century to the present day, and from the days when the potato was unknown as a crop through the fur-farming era. The author presents this study as part of his life-work, a programme of research on the settlement overseas in the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries of the people from the British Isles. He is descended from Prince Edward Island settlers and writes of the province from a background of personal knowledge of, and affection for, the land of his forbears.
