Excerpt from Reminiscences of the Early Northwest My father, Robert Irwin, r., came to Green Bay from Erie, Pa, in the year 1817 He was engaged in trade with the Indi ans and the few white settlers there at that time. The troops had been stationed at Green Bay about a year before, and their barracks at that time were on a hill about three miles from the mouth of the Fox river, called Camp Smith. It was in the vicinity of these barracks that the village sprang up where my father built his house, to which he brought my mother in the year 1820, a bride of nineteen. She was a native of Erie, Pa., and left a large circle of relatives; her grandfather, Col. Seth Reed, having been one of the first settlers of that place. It was on the first of October that my mother sailed up the beautiful Fox, upon the banks of which she resided most of the time for over sixty years. I have often heard her de scribe the day as being one of those soft, hazy days in autumn, so peculiar to our Indian summer, which after a stormy voy age up the lakes on a very small sailing vessel (having been driven back twice from; the mouth of Green Bay to Mackinaw by high winds), must have been delightful to her. There were but two or three American families outside the fort, but quite a number of French extraction, whom my parents ever held as valued friends. My first recollection of a home is of a house a story and a half high, situated on rising ground sloping down to the river.

Excerpt from Fifty Years in the Northwest: With an Introduction and Appendix Containing Reminiscences, Incidents and Notes As a matter of interest to personal friends, and as also tending to throw additional light upon my relation to the events here narrated, I have prefixed an account of my own early life for the nineteen years preceding my removal to the West, thus giving to the work a somewhat autobiographical form. It may be claimed that a work thus written in the form of a life history of a single individual, with observations from his own personal standpoint, will be more connected, clear and systematic in its narration of events than if it were written impersonally.

Excerpt from Pictures From Northwest History It is highly desirable that the people of any State or Nation should be familiar with its history. We take a just pride in the settlement and early history of the United States. The landing of the Pilgrim Fathers, the coming of the Puritans and Quakers, and the early Colonial wars are known to all.

Excerpt from Outline Studies in the History of the Northwest These Outline Studies in the History of the Northwest cover three regions: - the triangle bounded by the Great Lakes, the Ohio, and the Mississippi; the Valley of the Missouri; and the Valley of the Columbia; - in other words, the Northwest Territory; the Louisiana Purchase north of the Missouri Compromise line; and the Oregon Territory. To these is added a group of topics on Alaska. The studies will serve as a guide to individual reading, but are especially designed for a club, and are arranged for fifteen meetings. A director should be chosen to assign topics to individual members, to modify the program to suit the peculiar conditions of the club, and to point out the relations between the topics. Every member of the club should prepare the subject for the evening in some general history. As a convenient popular guide Drake's Making of the Great West may be used, with the caution that it is not free from errors in matters of detail. The following works constitute a course of reading on the entire subject: Hinsdale's Old Northwest, Barrows' Oregon, Carr's Missouri, Spring's Kansas, Smalley's History of the Northern Pacific Railroad, and Elliott's Our Arctic Province. The three members to whom the topics for the evening have been assigned are expected to prepare them as thoroughly as possible, and present only leading facts in an oral or written discussion ten or fifteen minutes long. In the preparation of the topic the student should first consult some standard history of the United States, such as Bancroft, Hildreth, Bryant and Gay, McMasters, or Schouler.

Excerpt from The White Darkness, and Other Stories of the Great Northwest The afternoon light faded gradually till the tall pines cast no shadows, and the white landscape was gray. Whist ling faintly, the wind swayed the forest branches to and fro, now in long sweeps with strong puffs, then in short bowings. The leaden sky was dark and low, cold and repellent. Laflin filled his pipe slowly at the door of the N. W. M. P. Post, Onion Lake, his home. "Looks like snow," he muttered, his eyes roaming over the long distances beyond the forests. Little by little the pipe was filled; he lighted a match. Puff-puff, "I don't suppose (puff) that Jake will (puff) get back to-night (puff-puff-puff). Anyhow, 'I'll have supper by'n'by and take a run over to the Store." He stood there smoking quietly. Then the flakes of white came; dropping one by one at first, then falling in silent quantities, finally coming down in eddying and pirouetting myriads.

Excerpt from The Centennial Northwest: An Illustrated History of the Northwest, Being a Full and Complete Civil, Political and Military History of This Great Section of the United States, From Its Earliest Settlement to the Present Time Which the great result has been attained will be found, glanced at rather than described, but still touched in the pages of this book. It is true that the gov ernment of this country is not capable of. Arbitrary strength, because it oper ates in society as volition rules in the individual; but the popular judgment once convinced, and its feeling aroused to action exerts through the sovereign form a power against which it is Useless to struggle, and before which every wrong must succumb. The grand features of a free press in the union Could have no better illustration than is supplied by the fact that there is no censor ship but public opinion, a power which can and must be moulded by the press itself. It cannot be denied that some portions of the journalistic litera ture of this country are partisan to a reprehensible degree, but that is an ih evitable concomitant of our social growth under party government, the phase of life through which the nation is passing, toward the next evolution, possi ble only in the midst of an enlightened people, the rule of the wisest and best, expressing the highest thought of the community. The growth of the newspaper press will be found traced by successive instances in the north west, from the petty sheet devoted almost entirely to advertisements, to the ih uential daily that wields a power which can be felt throughout the union; and arising from the taste thus formed and nurtured, the magazine literature of the day is graphically reviewed, as a yet more hopeful feature in press de velopment, toward which as well by patronage as by labor, this section of the union has not failed to contribute its quota. The church as a means of pro gressive effort has not been lost sight of in this history, because it has been found in every community in which the materials for a sketch have been collected, that the first and best steps toward social and intellectual organiza tion, have been in connection with the place of worship and the Sabbath school, leading up to a spiritual excellence and aesthetic culture, which will in the future rule the councils of the people. The value of secular training is not questioned, the conquests from nature, which from the curious experi ments with the Leyden jars and the Voltaic pile, were by the practical energy of an American newspaper man - Franklin - turned to such channels as that Faraday, an English bookbinder, carrying on 'the chain by which natural phenomena were surveyed, obtained the rotation of the needle round a mag netized wire, and laid the foundation of modern Telegraphy which again is largely due to the activity of American intellect will not admit of doubt; and few will be prepared to deny that electricity is to become every year more potent in aiding the progress of mankind by such works as electroplating, electrotyping and electro-dynamic machines. Which may eventually supersede steam itself; but above and beyond the uttermost triumph of science and art, the race has a necessity for spiritual culture, which the church in its varied forms must help immensely toward realization; hence the little meeting house of logs in the backwoods settlement has been recognized as an agent with which civilization cannot afford to dispense, and the successive steps, by which the edifice has gone on to ever-improving forms and grander dimeh sions, have been observed with the interest properly belonging to the highest essential in our lives.
