Book Description
This volume is a collection of important historical documents published by the State Historical Society of Wisconsin. It is entirely devoted to letters from an English immigrant, Edwin Bottomley (1809-1850), written between 1842 and 1850 to his father, Captain Thomas Bottomley. Edwin Bottomley was born in Mossley near Manchester, and moved to Huddersfield and South Crossland, where his father became manager of the Crossland mills. As a pattern designer and leader of the Methodist church choir, he became prominent in that community. In 1842, however, seeking better prospects than could be found "in a cuntry wher Labour the sorce of all Real wealth is troden under foot By Monopoly Taxation and Opprssion," he emigrated with his wife, Martha, their five children and his bass viol to what would soon be known as English Settlement in western Racine County, Wisconsin. Bottomley farmed seventy acres and within eighteen months moved his family from a temporary shanty to a substantial brick house. The years brought hard work and regular bouts of fever, but enough prosperity for Bottomley to add 300 contiguous acres to the original holding. (The mortgage on this purchase caused him considerable anxiety, and he later turned to his father and brother for financial help). From the beginning, Bottomley was active in civic affairs, helping to establish the local school house and Methodist Episcopal church. His letters contain many references to British political issues and reflect some of the religious tensions of the period. In 1850, Bottomley succumbed to typhoid fever, leaving a will and inventory included here. An index appears at the end of this volume.

Book Description
"Understand that even with all the selfishness in the world, we will not be happy." "Even with every way to be important, we will not be with happiness. Even being the most important Human ever to live will not bring happiness. Even with all of the world loving us it will not bring us happiness." "The symbol of Humanity never needs to be drawn, tattooed, or created by hands, and it cannot be taken away. We Humans are the symbol of Humanity. Love is our ritual and ceremony. Love, forgiveness, mercy, kindness, thankfulness, appreciation, understanding, open-mindedness, and all the other forms of love define Humanity. Love perfects Humanity and unites us all." "Love is the foundation of Humanity, and through a steadfast love, it cannot fall." ---Excerpts from the Book of Humanity
