Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Myers´ History of West Virginia, Vol. 1 of 2 To The Public: There arc several reasons why this book was written. Firstly - There is no single volume or set of volumes which contains an up-to-date history of West Virginia. Lewis History is the nearest approach. It is a good one. and fairly supplies the purpose for which it was intended, namely: a text book for use in the public schools; but the information it contains is in such abbreviated form and omits so many subjects that are really of such historical importance as to emphasize the need of a book of more extensive detail and covering a wider scope of information for the use of the general reading public. Secondly - There was need of a book which would revive and help perpetuate the memory of some almost forgotten heroes and heroines who opened and made easier the way for the succeeding generations of people. Thirdly - There was need of a record winch would bring forth to the minds of the present and succeeding generations some general idea of the manners and customs of the early settlers and the hardships endured and dangers encountered by them. Fourthly - There was need of a book which should bring to light some unwritten history and a new version of some things already chronicled; and Lastly - The attainment of these objects at a minimum cost to the reader.
