Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Jonathan Baldwin Turner This book is, of course, a labor of love; and yet, the needs of the student of history have been kept chiefly in mind in making it. For this reason, original documents have been freely used in it. For the most part, these are printed in full, as also are extracts from letters, speeches, and addresses. The volume has been delayed year by year by sickness, and by the final giving up, by the Turner household, of the house where it was established in 1837. At first the plan was to record in a general way the life of a man who lived, in thought and action, fifty years before his time, and therefore was honored by only the few who could appreciate the vigor and unselfishness of the motives that ruled his life. But as the years passed, and inquiries began to come from different people, seeking proof of this or that historical point in the life of various interests, - especially in reference to the beginning of the Land-Grant Industrial University Movement, - it became evident that a biography of deeper importance than one of grateful remembrance for friends and relatives must be prepared. Legal proof for statements must be found, records searched, and the whole history of the University Movement written with the greatest care. Feeling incompetent to do this, I placed the whole subject, with all my collection of material, in the hands of the most competent to treat it; but professional duties interfered, and the documents were returned. The work was finally revised, and is printed with confidence in the accuracy and legal proof of all its statements.
