Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Tah-Gah-Jute or Logan and Cresap, an Historical Essay I was invited in the spring of 1851 to deliver the Annual Address before the Maryland Historical Society, and took the story of Logan the Indian and Cresap the Pioneer, as a subject worthy of elucidation. I adopted this subject, not only because the history of Logan´s speech, which has given celebrity to both these persons, was likely to secure the attention of an audience, but because, while it afforded an opportunity to vindicate the reputation of a patriotic Marylander, it enabled me also to expose the danger of considering as always unquestionable what are called the facts of history, and to inculcate the caution with which we should receive or record the condemnation of individuals. The fact that this essay was originally intended for delivery and not for the closet, will account for the oratorical style of parts of the present publication. For ninety years "Logan´s speech" has been repeated by every schoolboy and admired by every cultivated person as a gem of masculine eloquence. Unluckily, it did not rehearse the Indian´s wrongs and revenge alone. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
