Excerpt from Pennsylvania, the Keystone: A Short History This work gives in outline the history of Pennsylvania. It is the outcome of long special study with more than ordinary advantages. The author has here indicated his view of the manner in which that history ought to be presented with greater fulness and detail. Much of the story has been based upon original materials preserved in the Library of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania never before utilized. The facts which go to prove the unequalled influence of Pennsylvania in the development of American affairs are narrated, but comment and opinions are omitted. Many heretofore accepted conventions have upon investigation been discarded. And, using the language of a recent author, "I have been sparing of references that encumber the foot of a page like barnacles on the keel of a vessel and delay progress."

Excerpt from Two Centuries of Pennsylvania History Pennsylvania justly merits the proud title, "The Keystone State." Her history more than her geography gave her commanding relations to the sister colonies clustered along the western margin of the Atlantic. Her great founder and first English owner, William Penn, is the noblest character in America's colonial history. In Pennsylvania every creed and every nationality was not only tolerated but welcomed. Her colonial life was more complex than that of any sister colony. To mould this life, so unlike in nationality, in religion, in civic ideals, and in industrial experience, into a unified people is one of the noblest records in the annals of any nation. To the credit of her people this was done without persecution and without coercion. Three great groups of people laid the foundations of the Commonwealth. The Quakers, under the great Penn, occupied the territory within a radius of thirty-five miles, giving themselves to commerce in Philadelphia and to agriculture in the fertile valleys of Bucks, Chester, and adjacent counties. Beyond these, in a zone fifty miles wide, settled the sturdy and patient Germans, giving birth to German-American literature, establishing Protestant missions among the Indians, tilling with signal success the fair acres of Berks, Lancaster, Lebanon, Cumberland, and contiguous counties, founding the great textile industries of the Schuylkill Valley, and developing a home life unique for its strength and its simplicity. Beyond these, in the valleys between the Blue and the Alleghany Mountains, lived the sturdy Scotch-Irish pioneers, pushing the frontier to the Ohio Valley, repelling Indian attacks, provoking strife by their restless haste to penetrate the wilderness, and establishing churches and schools in every valley and upon every hill-top of the interior.

Excerpt from History and Government of Pennsylvania: A Supplement to Elementary American History and Government All the tribes were divided into clans each of which had a sachem who was the chief authority. The sachems decided questions concerning peace and war and other matters which affected the tribe as a whole. When the tribe went to war, the authority over the warriors was given to the chiefs who gathered around them enough warriors to undertake an expedition. The Dutch. Interested by the explorations of Henry Hudson, the Dutch sent an expedition to America in 1613 for the purpose of establishing posts for trading with the Indians.

Excerpt from A History of Pennsylvania When historical societies for study and research in Pennsylvania history - local and general - are multi plying all over the State, no apology is needed for writing a book on the subject. Pennsylvania has a history of more than two centuries. It consists, like that 'of the other States which separated from Great Britiain to form the American Union, of a Colonial, a Revolutionary, and a Constitutional period. It has always been a part of another history: first of Eng land, and then of the United States. This is true, not alone in a nominal, but in a real sense. United States history, whether its political, social, or indus trial side, is of a composite nature. Every State helps to make it. The contribution of the thirteen original States is the greatest, because they have a Colonial and 'a Revolutionary history. In Pennsyl vania these periods are especially interesting and im portant, though they have been sadly neglected.

Excerpt from History and Civil Government of Pennsylvania The meaning Of a vote and the sacredness of the ballot can be taught in connection with many of the lessons in American history. The perpetuity Of a free government depends very largely upon the faith of the people in the purity and efficacy of the ballot. The boy who asked his teacher whether it is justifiable to accept money for doing what is right, say for an honest day's work. And if so, whether it is not justifiable to accept money for a vote provided one votes the right ticket, was sadly in need of instruction showing why the law has made it a crime either to buy or to sell a vote. An excellent point Of departure for a lesson on the wickedness of bribery is the famous reply of Gen. Joseph Reed: I am not worth purchasing; but such as I am, the King of Great Britain is not rich enough to buy me.

Excerpt from The Colonial Dames of America: In the State of Ohio, Pennsylvania These colonial studies represent a distinct and valuable contribution to the material needed for teaching that impor tant period of American History - the period extending from the settlement of the individual colony to its incorporation as a part of the American Republic. Each monograph attempts to set forth in a clear and simple manner the essen tial characteristics of the colony, the peculiar ideas and ideals of its people; and especially to make clear the part the colony played in the conflict with the mother country and its contribution toward the development of a national spirit, and a national government. When the state was born the colony ceased to exist, but the period preceding the framing and adoption of the Constitution is of tremendous impor tance. Without an understanding of the forces that were at work in that period, and of the reasons for these manifesta tions, we fail to clearly interpret the meaning of American history. For that reason the schools are under deep obliga tion to the Colonial Dames in the State of Ohio for the large service which they have undertaken in behalf of education in the preparation and publication of these monographs.

Excerpt from Old Westmoreland: A History of Western Pennsylvania During the Revolution This book represents an effort to tell the revolutionary history of the Western Pennsylvania border; to describe the trials, the sacrifices, the errors and the heroisms of the frontiersmen, in their conflicts with tories, British par tisans and savages, during the years when Washington and his generals were fighting for independence along the Atlantic seaboard. The American Revolution covered many fields of action, and the operations on each con tributed to the grand result. The men who defended the western border against the savage tribes were doing their work essential to the cause of freedom as well as the ragged Continentals who faced British and Hessian battalions in New York or New Jersey. Naturally the operations in the East, where the main conflict raged and the issue was decided, have received the chief attention of historians; but the struggles on the west ern frontier have been unduly neglected. Some attention has been given to the revolutionary history of the New York and Tennessee frontiers, but no book tells, in con nected form, of the important operations in that great trans montane region of which Ft. Pitt was the center, during the years from 1775 to 1783. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
