Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A History of Pennsylvania When historical societies for study and research in Pennsylvania history - local and general - are multiplying all over the State, no apology is needed for writing a book on the subject. Pennsylvania has a history of more than two centuries. It consists, like that of the other States which separated from Great Britain to form the American Union, of a Colonial, a Revolutionary, and a Constitutional period. It has always been a part of another history: first of England, and then of the United States. This is true, not alone in a nominal, but in a real sense. United States history, whether its political, social, or industrial side, is of a composite nature. Every State helps to make it. The contribution of the thirteen original States is the greatest, because they have a Colonial and a Revolutionary history. In Pennsylvania these periods are especially interesting and important, though they have been sadly neglected. But independent of the relation to United States history, State history has a claim on us for study and investigation. Pennsylvania ranks second among the States in wealth and population, and has the proud distinction of being the Keystone of the Union. If we would maintain this preeminence we must not be indifferent to our history, else neither we nor our descendants will attain to greater heights.
