Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sketches of Border Adventures in the Life and Times of Major Moses Vancampen Well do I remember, when but a school-boy, along in the forties, the last years of the era of log school houses, my frequent visits to the School District Library to make selection of books for study and recreation. There, side by side, with Rollin, and Gibbon, and Dick, and other venerable tomes, were found Weem´s Franklin, Wirt´s Patrick Henry, the adventures of Daniel Boone, the great hunter, Indian fighter, and pioneer of Kentucky, a book devoted to the story of Gen. Francis Marion, and the last to name, but by no means the least sought for, a substantial leather bound book, which showed most conclusive evidence of use: The Life of Major Moses Van Campen. It was not, however, always to be found when sought for; indeed, it was quite generally out. In course of time a decadence of interest in the old School Libraries followed, owing largely no doubt, to the very general diffusion of literature in the way of papers, magazines and periodicals, and later on, the old book disappeared in some mysterious way, and was rarely, if ever, more seen.
