Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of Wayne County, Indiana, From Its First Settlement to the Present Time More than two years ago, I engaged to revise the manuscript of a history of Wayne county for publication. After several months´ labor had been bestowed on the revision, the proprietor concluded to relinquish the enterprise. At the solicitation of a number of honorable gentlemen, who were desirous that a history of the county should be written, and who expressed the belief that this desire was general, I consented to undertake the publication on my own responsibility. But of the material in my hands, little related to any part of the county beyond the limits of Wayne township. Believing that nothing short of a regular and well-arranged history of every township would meet the general expectation, it was deemed necessary to alter the plan of the work, and to commence anew the collection of material. For this purpose, every township was visited in person, in order to avail myself of the most reliable sources of information. But in this work a serious difficulty was soon met. The statements of different persons were widely at variance. The confident assertions of some were contradicted by others; and important events were left in uncertainty. Hence it became necessary to visit many persons in different, and often distant parts of the township, to determine doubtful points. Nor was a single journey to every township sufficient. With a view to the nearest approach to accuracy, the county was traversed a number of times. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
