Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Story of a Primrose, 1831-1895 The writing of this history of his native town was not begun by the writer with any pecuniary end in view. The very limited number of readers whom he could hope to obtain must certainly have shown him, had such been the case, that the time spent in preparing it could have been far more profitably employed. The work, nevertheless, has been one of profit, and in the pleasure and knowledge derived from it, it has brought its own reward. To have a thorough knowledge of the history of one´s region, is no small satisfaction in itself, and while the story of our town may not be so striking and romantic as that of some of its neighbors, it cannot fail to be of interest to her own children. The history is written chiefly for the benefit of the younger generation, many of whom know little of the early happenings in their localities and of the privations of their own fathers and mothers. If this book should meet with their appreciation the writer shall feel doubly repaid. It would, of course, have been a happier achievement had this work been written by some one of the old pioneers who have witnessed and lived through all the changing scenes in the town´s history, but as no one such has seen fit to do so, he trusts the work of younger hands will be spared any censure in undertaking it. The many errors and shortcomings that the work doubtless possesses, he trusts will also be treated with consideration.
