Book Description
Excerpt from A Short History of Hereford The area in which our facts will be sought and found is limited to its boundary lines, which extend to I7 miles, and enclose acres of land. The main object of the writer of the following pages is to set forth the city's long and uninterrupted course of events, so as to create a trustworthy picture of one of the most inter esting places of ancient and modern times and to inspire young people to take a more intelligent part in the manage ment of their own Municipal affairs. The history of our old town stands almost alone in many of its unique features, and in the stress and storm through which it has passed still it is fortunate, as just stated, in its geographical position, in the fertility and richness of the adjacent soil, and in the temperament of its inhabitants. At the same time, it is connected with many of the leading events which go to make up the Constitutional History of this great Country.
