Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of the Town of Warsaw, New York, From Its First Settlement to the Present Time One year ago I came to Warsaw to visit old friends before my departure for my new home in the West. While here, I was solicited to write a history of this town. Having formed plans and purposes which I was desirous to pursue, I hesitated to make an engagement. It was suggested that there was no citizen of the town in a situation favorable to his engaging in such an undertaking; and, further, that a personal knowledge of the principal events to be recorded, and a personal acquaintance with the inhabitants during a period of more than fifty years, including an almost continuous residence in the town for forty years, commencing about twelve years after its first settlement, would afford material advantages in writing its history. A number of the older and more prominent citizens met for consultation, and decided in favor of the proposition. Considering the project a patriotic and a commendable one, and being myself desirous to see a written history of the town, I consented to engage in the undertaking, and proceeded immediately to the task. It may be asked, "Why fill so large a volume with the history of a single town? Why devote so much space to stories which have become familiar from their frequent recital by our parents and grand-parents?" These questions admit of ready answers.
