History of Richland County, Ohio (Including the Original Boundaries), Its Past and Present
Author: Albert Adams Graham
Publisher: Forgotten Books
ISBN: 9780331238396
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 952
Book Description
Excerpt from History of Richland County, Ohio (Including the Original Boundaries), Its Past and Present: Containing a Condensed Comprehensive History of Ohio, Including an Outline History of the Northwest, a Complete History of Richland County, Its Townships, Cities, Towns and Villages, Schools, Churches, Societies, &C The work was commenced about one year ago. It was thought best to include an outline history of Ohio, as histories of the State are quite rare. Over one hundred pages of the book are devoted to this subject, giving in as condensed a form as possible the narrative of the growth of Ohio. Mr. N. N. Hill, J r., a resident of Mansfield and a very accurate, careful writer, was engaged to assist in writing and compiling the history. For this purpose he visited nearly every township in the county, and gathered its local history. -to his persevering efforts, much of the detailed history is due. Mr. Hill made the drawing from which the picture the first cabin in Richland County was made. Agents to canvass the county, and to gather the history of families, were secured, and sent into the county. Each township was kept separate, and the history of each family properly condensed and prepared for press. In some instances, the agents have gathered longer biographies than was necessary (noticeably the case in Worthington and Monroe Townships, the compiler not having time to revisit and rewrite their biographies. Only the facts are aimed to be given, and are all that should appear in any history. The compiler does not hold himself responsible for the statements made in any biography. Each one was written at the dictation of the persons whose history it preserves, or by competent persons who knew the family, and who only can be held responsible. In this volume, the aim has constantly been to give the simple narrative of facts as they occurred. History is simply a narrative of events. In works of this character, it is impossible to obtain that accuracy of detail desirable. The memory of no one is infallible, and in this book the larger part is obtained from the recollection of those who passed through the scenes here recorded. Often such persons came to the compiler and desired to correct their statements asserting they had forgotten some valuable part, or unconsciously and unintentionally made a slight error. All statements were verified as far as it was possible to do so and, where any discrepancy arose, two or three statements were obtained, compared, and the proper one determined.

Every Root an Anchor
Author: R. Bruce Allison
Publisher: Wisconsin Historical Society
ISBN: 0870203703
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
In Every Root an Anchor, writer and arborist R. Bruce Allison celebrates Wisconsin's most significant, unusual, and historic trees. More than one hundred tales introduce us to trees across the state, some remarkable for their size or age, others for their intriguing histories. From magnificent elms to beloved pines to Frank Lloyd Wright's oaks, these trees are woven into our history, contributing to our sense of place. They are anchors for time-honored customs, manifestations of our ideals, and reminders of our lives' most significant events. For this updated edition, Allison revisits the trees' histories and tells us which of these unique landmarks are still standing. He sets forth an environmental message as well, reminding us to recognize our connectedness to trees and to manage our tree resources wisely. As early Wisconsin conservationist Increase Lapham said, "Tree histories increase our love of home and improve our hearts. They deserve to be told and remembered."
