Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Recollections of a Lifetime In genealogical explorations in past years, with a view to the publication of a family history, I found it exceedingly difficult to get the facts I needed, and often wished that my ancestors had been considerate enough of the generations succeeding them to have left at least a brief outline of the events which had befallen them, and especially of the formative influences which had helped or hindered their mental, moral or physical development. Considering, as I do, that genealogy is not only an interesting but an important study, I will endeavor to contribute to the records of the Brinkerhoff family an autobiographical outline of my own career and its environments, and trust that others of my name and blood will be induced to do likewise. In addition to the genealogical incentive to autobiography, there is also the historical, for, as a member of the Ohio Archæological and Historical Society, I have for many years been interested in Ohio history; and here again the absence of authentic information in regard to the first half of the present century is painfully apparent, and we find that even the greatest men of that period are almost mythological for want of contemporaneous records. There were giants in those days, and it is greatly to be regretted that the lives they lived and deeds they accomplished have not been fully recorded for the educacation and inspiration of succeeding generations.
