Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Appeal to the Inhabitants of the State of New York: Letter to Queen Victoria, Reprinted From the Tenth European Edition; The Fountain of Knowledge, Immortality of the Body and Intelligence and Affection Citizens of the State of New-York, - honest and patriotic sons of liberty, - lovers of your country: Listen! The voice of a humble fellow citizen, exiled from Missouri, appeals to his native state for that protection and redress which he has sought in vain at the hands of the General Government. I was born in Burlington, Otsego county New-York, on the 12th of April, A. D. 1807. My ancesters were among the early settlers of the colonies of Plimouth and Sea-Brook. The venerable pilgrim fathers who prefered the hardships, toils and dangers of a howling widerness, to tyrany and oppression, and who planted the first germs of an Empire of freedom in this western world. My grand-father Obadiah Pratt, removed from Sea-Brook, Connecticut, some eighty years since, and penetrated as far west as Canaan Columbia county, New-York, then mostly in a wilderness state; where he opened a fine farm, converting the wilderness into a fruitful field, and causing the desert to smile with joy and plenty. From that early period till the day of his death, he stood firm in the cause of American Liberty; and hand to hand, and heart to heart with most of our early fathers, he struggled, through all the toils and dangers of a revolution. With them he conquered, and thus bequeathed to his numerous posterity the rich inheritance, his sweat and tears and blood had so dearly purchased. My father Jared Pratt, was born in Canaan, Columbia county; reared on the old home-stead, as an honest and industrious citizen. He shouldered his rifle at the call of the Governor, during the last war with Britain, and assisted in gaining the battle of Plattsburgh. Descended from a race so illustrious; the blood of such nobility runing in my veins; and drawing my first breath in air so free, in an age so favored, and in a country so exalted. - Nourished on the milk of freedom I rose to manhood full of hope and expectation.
