Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Timothy Pickering, Vol. 2 From early life Colonel Pickering was in the habit of preserving letters, accounts, and documents of all sorts, that came into his hands. After his death, his sons selected, at different times, what were deemed most valuable, arranged and caused them to be bound in volumes, with indexes to each. These volumes, above sixty in number, are in the permanent custody, and by the direction of Octavius Pickering have become the property, of the Massachusetts Historical Society. Five volumes are reserved by the family. Only a small portion of these materials, such as have been requisite for the purposes of a biography, has been used in this work. The residue is of great value, and will well reward the researches of students of American history, - shedding light upon the period of the Revolution, and the operations of the government and experience of the country for the subsequent half century. Copies of his own letters, and other productions of his pen, were carefully made by Colonel Pickering, and are found among his papers.
