Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Pennsylvania, Colonial and Federal, Vol. 1: A History, 1608-1903 The history of Pennsylvania it will be conceded by all familiar with the subject, has nut heretofore been presented in any work with the fullness or the breadth of treatment to which it has been entitled. There have been numerous essays toward it. from the time of Robert Proud down to a more recent day, some of them worthy of much appreciation and deserving of high praise, yet it still remained true that at the end of three centuries our Commonwealth and its people were without an adequate and a completely satisfactory history. It was to supply such a history that Howard M.Jenkins, several years since, undertook the preparation and supervision of the volumes which are now submitted to the public. The subject is itself one of unusual complexity. To the making of Pennsylvania, in the early time, many streams of life contributed. and the mingling and fusion of these, not without friction and even conflict. is a theme which called for an open mind and a just discrimination. So, too, since the Colony became the State, its career has been directed and illustrated by men of varying characters, qualities and opinion. To the development of its vast material interests and the upbuilding of its industries, energy and capital have been applied in a degree practically unequaled in the world´s experience.
