Historical Sketches, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint)

Book Description
Excerpt from Historical Sketches, Vol. 1 The undersigned gathered information used in the construction of some half dozen sketches of an historical nature to be published in the Virginia Enquirer. These productions attracted the favorable attention of numerous readers of that journal, which induced the writer to prepare additional sketches. Dr. J. F. Snyder kindly offered to furnish a series of sketches of the early physicians of the county to be added to the series which offer was gladly accepted and his contributions make the series worthy of publication in book form. Had the result of the venture been foreseen the series would have been prepared in different form. The sketch of the Doctor upon Early Illinois should have been the initial number of the series, and the arrangement would have differed in other respects. Newspaper offices are not arranged and conducted as regular book publishing concerns, and therefore numerous typographical errors are to be found which somewhat mar the effect of the volume. The more important errors are noted upon another page. The sketches herein prepared by Dr. J. F. Snyder are the following: Early Illinois, page 21; Dr. Pothicary, page 60; Dr H. H. Hall, page 94; William Holmes, page 139; Dr. Schooley, page 151; Dr. Tate, page 167; Dr. Elder, page 209; Dr. Lippencott, page 236; Dr. Chandler, page 275; Dr. McClure, page 296; Dr. Logan, page 354; Dr. Christy, page. 384 The sketch of Pioneer Life in Illinois, on page 179, was written by Mrs. Emily C. Burton, of Hebron, Nebraska. The sketch of Ambrose Buraker, page 4, was dictated by himself. The sketch of Col. J. W. Judy on page 14, was prepared by himself. The sketch of Judge Rearick, on page 40, was written by the Judge, except the last paragraph. The sketch of Captain Campbell, on page 67, was written by the Captain. The sketches of Thos. J. Collins, page 85 and of Charles Brady, page 88, were written by Mrs. Emily Collins Brady, of Pomona, California. The sketch of Zachariah Hash, on page 271, was prepared by his grandson. There are many historical facts to be found in this volume that have never before been published, and which are deemed to be worthy of preservation. The writer has in his possession other matter of the same nature which may appear in a second volume. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Historical Sketches, Vol. 2 Under these circumstances, perhaps, it is fair to lay down that, while every care must be taken against the introduction of new, or the omission of existing ideas, in translating the original text, yet, in a book intended for general reading, faithfulness may be considered simply to consist in expressing in English the sense of the original the actual words of the latter being viewed mainly as directions into its sense, and scholarship being necessary in order to gain the full insight into that sense which they afford; and next, that, where something must be sacri ficed, precision or intelligibility, it is better in a popular work to be understood by those who are not critics, than to be applauded by those who are.

Oak Hill Historical Sketch (Classic Reprint)

Book Description
Excerpt from Oak Hill Historical Sketch N a small eminence, a mile and a half north-east of Glendale, 0 near that which was formerly known as the Kemper School House stand two stately oaks, whose branches towering toward the zenith in majestic beauty, have swayed in the breezes of more than a century. So imposing was their appearance in time past, that their site and the surrounding community took the appelation of oak hill. This name is now applied to the little hamlet that has sprung up near them. To the Westward is the village of Springdale around which cluster so many historical associations that have been the themes of eloquent orators and accomplished writers. Her deeds have been extolled; her sons and ancestors have been spoken of in terms of highest commendation, and the praise thus bestowed upon her has not been undeserved as she can boast of a history far superior to that of her sister villages. Sharon occu pying a beautiful site under the hill two miles to the southeast and Glendale, the queen of suburbs, have also been recognized on the page of local history. But of Oak Hill naught has been said; she, too, has had sons who shared in the hardships of the settle ments at White's and Tucker's stations; marched through the wilderness in the army of General Wayne rejoiced in the victory of the war of 1812 gazed from the summit of the Cordilleras on the palaces of the Montezumas in 1848 and, in the late Rebellion fought for the emancipation of the slaves.
