Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Broad Aisle: A Realistic Tale of Early Ohio Seventy years ago in the village of Richfield, Ohio, flourished close upon the boundaries of the settled West. Sheltered from the world by low fertile hills, the early inhabitants, sons and daughters of the old country, led simple, God-fearing lives. Scotch-Irish thrift and Calvinistic theology alone regulated conduct. In the days of the Territory outlying farms spread sparsely from between uncleared forests. Later log cabins gave place to square houses of two stories and square-steepled churches. Even then sobriety governed the town, and suppressed the possibilities of architecture. A front porch never adorned a Richfield homestead. Carnal abominations were scorned in the deeply religious, conservative neighborhood. When a great national highway marked the importance of a rival village, with rolling stagecoaches arid dashing leaders, no jealous pangs were felt in little Richfield. Years hence when railroads avoided the hamlet, to cross and recross the Buckeye State in almost every other locality, the contented town´sfolk sang psalms, and continued to denounce musical instruments, and to wrangle over the zoological monsters of Revelation.
