Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of Marietta Marietta historic and beautiful, the pioneer city of the Northwest Territory, the birthplace of western civilization, situate on two beautiful and scenic rivers of the United States. Feeling the need of a history of Marietta that would be convenient in size and arranged in an interesting and readable manner, the author has aimed to present such a work in the following pages. Its scope includes a region which geology reveals as prehistorically inhabited by an unknown people, followed, perhaps, by the Mound Builders, and later presented in history as occupied by the Indian, the predecessor of the white man. Following the advent of this race in the west is a chain of historic events which culminate in the first permanent settlement of the Northwest being planted at Marietta. The remainder of the book consists of a number of topical chapters describing the town and city in its different phases of life, with a history of each from its beginning in Marietta to the present time. In presenting this work to the public, due acknowledgment is made to the many persons who have furnished information on the subjects herein described, and for the use of the R. M. Stimson collection of the Marietta College library, which is rich in material on the early history of the Northwest. If by means of the following pages the reader becomes better acquainted with the early history of the Northwest Territory, and sees the important place that Marietta holds in the history of our country, and learns to honor and admire the historic city as it should be, the object of this publication is accomplished.
