Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from New York City and Vicinity During the War of 1812-15, Being a Military, Civic and Financial Local History of That Period, Vol. 2 of 2 In placing this the concluding volume before the public the writer will say to those who may read this and the previous volume that this work was not pursued and did not progress without personal sacrifices to the writer, if that can be called a sacrifice which is willingly surrendered or exchanged by choosing one of several courses. The writer felt in the work that it would be its own reward, if completed, in any event which might result to the writer. Again, it was a useful and effectual diversion from the petty cares of life, and rendered it worth something more than a struggle with them. He still feels a peculiar personal gratification and satisfaction about it that all along made the labors light, while they extended over more than a score of years. He felt that no one else would gather the material for the work, and that none other would write it with so much detail. The laurels that he thought to wear in his younger days are fully replaced in his mature years by the feelings of satisfaction at the completion of this lifework of his leisure moments. After the materials for this subject were gathered and the knowledge of its treatment by writers had been ascertained, the writer would have lost his self-respect had he not pursued the work to completion in the manner that it is now placed before the world in the present comprehensive volumes. The makers of history are the partakers of history, which include those that record the famous achievements and events of mankind. We have come and we will go, but the march of history will go on forever. Its records must and will be studied to enlighten and interest those who seek to govern mankind and wish to learn the results of past efforts, as well as to gratify a pride in the achievements of their ancestors.
