Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Historical Raleigh From Its Foundation in 1792: Descriptive, Biographical, Educational, Industrial, Religious; Reminiscences Reviewed and Carefully Compiled In its general and popular acceptation, the term history is confined to records of events of a political character, and is seldom used in referring to any condition of things less broad than the State or nation. Hence, matters of interest so narrow as to be confined to a town or city are usually regarded as unworthy of preservation in literary form. This view is an erroneous one, for, apart from the general value of a knowledge of men and things passed and gone, by comparing the humble beginnings incident to every community with present conditions - whether these beginnings refer to events or to things - a laudable sense of pride becoming to every citizen is felt, and inspiration for future excellence encouraged. Except in rare instances, it has not been within the scope of the book to make mention of the names of any inhabitants who have not been in close touch with our people, however distinguished in State or nation, and though "native and to the manner born," the design of the author being to acquaint the reader with the life of the people of Raleigh in the olden time, rather than to undertake the narration of such events as ordinarily claim the attention of the historian. In the preparation of the book, the author´s desire has been to make it not only interesting as a record of the early days of the capital, and of its people, but that it should serve also as a repository of present conditions as well as of past events, and thus prove valuable in future time.
