Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Historical Sketch of the First Presbyterian Church, Fort Wayne, Indiana: With Early Reminiscences of the Place; A Lecture Before the Congregation, October 16, 1881; The Semi-Centennial of Its Organization The formation of the Presbyterian Historical Society by the general assembly has already induced many valuable contributions to the early religious history of the country. Its object is commended by the highest considerations. If the commencement and growth of our material prosperity are worthy of an enduring record, much more the early straggles and labors for the establishment of a religious and moral influence, by which alone this prosperity can be sanctified and blessed. The christian citizen will ever turn to the church of his choice as an institution claiming affectionate regard, and its history, even back to the feeble beginning, will ever possess the highest interest. The place in which Providence has cast our lot, has claims upon the historian. Fort Wayne is historic ground. It has reminiscences extending back a hundred and seventy years. Dillon, the historian of Indiana, was led to believe from his researches that it was often visited by the early French explorers before the year 1700, and thought a trading post was established here prior to 1719. Vandrenil, then Governor of Louisiana, writing in 1751, mentioned Fort Miami at this point. It was a small stockade fort, built by the French, and situated near the St. Marys, probably in the vicinity of the canal aqueduct. The dim outlines of this fort was traced by Wayne in 1794 and by Col. John Johnston in 1800. The appointment of Col. Johnston as Indian agent here in 1800, by the second President, John Adams, signalized the practical assertion of civil government by the United States at this remote outpost. He was a gentleman of intelligence and great moral worth. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
