Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoirs of Lenawee County, Michigan, From the Earliest Historical Times Down to the Present, Including a Genealogical and Biographical Record of Representative Families in Lenawee County, Vol. 1 It has been the aim in the preparation of these volumes to give a faithful account of the early settlements in Lenawee county, to note the progress that attended the noble efforts of the pioneer citizens and their worthy descendants, and also to make the reader acquainted, by biographical mention, with many, of those to whom we of the present day are indebted in no small measure for the excellent advantages we enjoy, Records of pioneer times are interesting, and they are not without their lessons of instruction. In Lenawee county only a very few of the early settlers are now living, and those who still survive are the lingering bonds between us and bygone days, transmitting the traditions of early times to the inquiring minds of the present generation. So, it is by the light of the recorded past, as it appears upon printed pages, that one must follow in the foot-prints of the adventurous and enterprising pioneer. He is seen, as it were, amid the labors and struggles necessary to convert the wilderness into a fruitful field. The reader sits by his cabin fire, partaking of his homely hospitality, and listens to the accounts which he is pleased to give of frontier life, and of the dangers, trials, hardships, and sufferings endured by himself and others, in their efforts to make for themselves homes in regions remote from civilization. And through these pioneer records and printed pages, the way is followed along to the present. From small beginnings are seen the mighty achievements of industry - the complex results of daring enterprise, subduing and creative energy, and untiring perseverance. Looking backward some fourscore years, a few hardy pioneers are seen locating at Teeumseh, Blissfield and Adrian. They were vigorous frontier men and women, of scanty means, but possessed of a courageous determination to win homes for themselves and their posterity. A few years later, others came, some settling on prairie and ridge lands, while some sought homes in the beautiful valleys of the River Raisin and Dean Creek.
