Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of the Town of Shoreham Vermont: From the Date of Its Charter, October 8th, 1761, to the Present Time Soon after the death of Gov. Silas H. Jenison, who had before been appointed to that service, the author of the following work was requested by the Committee of the Middlebury Historical Society to write a history of the town of Shoreham. He soon began to make inquiries and to collect materials to form into a history but it was not until all those persons who first settled in this town were dead, with the exception of a single individual, that he entered upon the duties assigned him. The difficulties attending the prosecution of such an undertaking, under such circumstances, may easily be conceived, but these were aggravated by the absence of all records dating back beyond the year 1783. His only resource therefore, was to consult the only living man who had been here before the Revolution, and a few of the older inhabitants who came soon after. It was a happy circumstance that Major Noah Callender had not then passed away, whose memory, though he was then more than eighty years old remained unimpaired. The author held frequent conversations with him, and noted down whatever he deemed important for the prosecution of his work, and it is with pleasure he is able to state that on no important point has he found Major Callender´s statements to be erroneous, after having been subjected to the severest tests. After his death many points of inquiry came up which were not anticipated previously. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
