Book Description
Excerpt from History of Lehigh County, Pennsylvania: From the Earliest Settlements to the Present Time, Including Much Valuable Information for the Use of Schools, Families, Libraries It is both interesting and instructive to study the history of our fathers, to fully understand through what difficulties, obstacles, toils and trials they went to plant settlements which struggled up to a position of wealth and prosperity. These accounts of our county have been written so as to bring before every youth and citizen of our county, on account of the growth of the population, its resources, the up building of the institution that give character and stability to the county. It has been made as concise as possible and everything which was thought to be of any value to the youth and citizen, has been presented as best as it could be under the circumstances and hope that by perusing its pages, many facts of interest can be gathered that will be of use in future years. Hoping that any shortcomings of the work will be kindly passed by, by a generous public. It is now presented to the public for its careful perusal and that the youth of our country will be benefited thereby, and that the teachers of our public schools will find much valuable aid of which the author has tried to gather while engaged in the schoolroom, and that by perusing its pages the grand principle of patriotism and love of country will be instilled into the minds of our youth which will never be forgotten. In preparing this work I acknowledge the assistance of aid given by Profs. Ru)p, the county supt. of schools, J. O. Knauss of the Department of Public Instruction, Clinton A. Mohr of the Emaus Times, Mr. Steltz and others. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
