Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Babylon Reminiscences Newcomers to a village, as well as the natives and "old timers," usually seek with eagerness, reminiscences of their home surroundings. To the student or reader of history, these tales of times past, convey, like old pictures, the delineation of incidents perhaps forgotten, and unknown to the present generation. It is for the purpose of stimulating an interest in our village past and present, that this book is brought before the public. We are fortunate in having as a neighbor among us, an octogenerian, endowed not only with a memory, vivid with early incidents, and pictures of our village, but gifted with the power to portray the usages and characteristics of old Babylon folks, and to depict the appearance and location of old buildings of sixty years ago. Perhaps, some part our good fortune in having our friend and author still among our number, is due to his good wife. For if, like the writer, you, our reader, had grown up with the Field family and had been brought into contact with the kind and loving wife and mother, and heard every day for many years, from some of her children, "No, we had better not do that. Mother would not like it," you would have learned a mother´s influence, always given in the kindest and sweetest way. With such a life-companion, who cannot have more admiration for our author and his well-rounded life? We wish our author many more years of usefulness, and may his reminiscences go down to posterity as a monument to one who has loved Babylon and its people. It has been thought fitting to include in this, book a brief biography of our author by his friend, James B. Cooper, and a sketch of the history of our village - merely an outline of its progress - by the writer, to whom Babylon will always be endearby many tender associations.
