Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Founder´s Own Story of the Founding of Vineland, New Jersy Among the private papers of the late Charles K. Landis, which, in accordance with his Will, have recently come into the possession of the Historical and Antiquarian Society of Vineland, and which are held by this Society as among its most important and valued archives, was found the following very interesting sketch of the first steps taken, and of his first year´s experiences in the Founding of Vineland. It would be scarcely possible for any other hand, though of a ready writer, to set forth so graphically and so vividly, the story of this unique settlement, itself so unlike anything the world had ever before seen, in its plans, its purposes, and its achievement. It is due to the memory of this remarkable man, much misunderstood as he was in those early days, that this frank record of his secret thoughts and motives, as of his public acts, should be given to the public substantially as it came from his own hand. It was evidently written off-hand, in pencil, and bears no marks of subsequent revision. When this was written in 1882, after 21 years, Mr. Landis was already able to see, and had seen, with the natural eye, as before he had seen as in prophetic vision, brilliant and beneficent fruits of his great work. Indeed it was his remark in later years, that he always saw it from the beginning, just as we others see it now. Such was his profound faith in himself and in the soundness of the principles upon which he built. In this narrative of the events of 1861-2, he has introduced but few allusions to the later resulting conditions of which he might justly be proud. No one ever more truly "made the wilderness to blossom as the rose." Of no other could it more appropriately be said, ´If you would see his monument, look around you."
