Book Description
Excerpt from Reminiscences of the Long Ago: Being a Historical Sketch of the Early Settlement of Bethlehem, Now Carmel and Vicinity With an Account, With an Account of the Indians, and of the Doings and Makeshifts of the Early Pioneers Who Have Passed Away With a Partial List of Their Names, and A It is with some reluctance that I undertake to write a history, not being a Ridpath, Bancroft, or a Pliny, but I will try to make it truthful and ask the reader to excuse any incongruities of composition, believing that at a future time this record of the past will be of some benefit, being written by one who is seventy-nine years old and has voted for president fifteen times, scoring eleven, and lived with the history of our country through three wars and five panics. As my parents were the first white settlers in this immediate vicinity, and Daniel Warren, Sr., my father, the founder of Bethlehem, now Carmel, I will first give a little sketch of their history, immigration, and settlement here. Daniel Warren, Sr., was born in the year 1791 and was of English descent. He was about eight years old when General Washington died and could remember the universal sorrow, and of hearing such expressions as "I suppose General George Washington is dead." In his younger days he was a hatter in North Carolina and worked, not in "Beard's Hatter Shop," but in old Salem.
