Book Description
Excerpt from Pioneer Days on Puget Sound Seattle boasts but a scant showing in the litera ture of her local history, a fact that deserves com ment when so many of her early settlers have passed away, leaving scarcely a line to record their part in the building of a great commonwealth. In this brief yet eloquent record of pioneer days it is not difficult to read between the lines. These unpretentious annals give vivid impressions of patient, hard-working, loyal wives and mothers; of little children playing around log houses, on the shore, or on the wooded bluffs rising from the blue waters of the Sound; of friendly Indians, and, alas! Others not so friendly; of long days of fear and nights of dread; of men who, venturing to the Land of the Tardy Sunset, worked and strove through the days when souls were tried. Some conquered; others fell in the hard, continuous struggle. All were heroes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Pioneer Days in Kansas This book has been written at odd hours, snatched from the rush of a busy pastorate, and therefore lacks the smoothness and finish which only a continuous application could give it.

Book Description
Excerpt from Pioneer Days in the San Bernardino Valley Six years ago it seemed advisable that an authentic narrative of pioneer days in this valley should be left on record, and with that object in view I devoted more than two years making research and writing, preparatory to compiling a volume. In this I shall briefly speak of the work of the devoted Franciscan Fathers, who opened the way for civilization to enter the valley; then of the pioneers, who began the settlement of the city of San Bernardino; of the opening and development of the Eastberne Valley, of Grafton, Lugonia and Redlands. For the facts concerning the labors of the Catholic missionaries, I am indebted to Father Juan Caballeria, who kindly gave me permission to quote from his interesting history. As to the labors of the pioneers, it has been my happiness to be closely associated with many of these noble men and women, and from time to time I have gathered the valuable facts and interesting incidents that are embodied in this volume. For information regarding Eastberne Valley I am under obligation to Messrs. C. R. Paine, Geo. A. Cook, E. G. Judson, and Dr. Ellen Seymour; also to the Redlands Illustrated Facts for important data. For any errors that may have found their way into these pages, and for any omissions, I hope to be forgiven; and now I offer this little book to the descendants of those whose devotion inspired it, hoping that it may preserve the memory of heroism seldom equaled and never surpassed.
