Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Celebration of the Two Hundredth Anniversary of Their Residence in Virginia In presenting this little souvenir to my kindred - the descendants of Col. Zachary Lewis, of Bel-air - it is but just that I should say to those who were so fortunate as to be present at the meeting of the Lewis Congress on the 4th of September, 1894, as well as to those who were so unfortunate as not to attend, that as the exquisite pleasure of that meeting was largely due to our fair cousin, Miss Nannie E. Scott - she having originated the idea of the Congress and made possible the gathering of the clan by inviting us to her home - so we are indebted to her for whatever of merit there may be found in this little book. The introduction and all the memoirs not ascribed to other authorship are from her graceful pen, and most of the illustrations were reproduced from pencil or pen and ink sketches made by her. Without her kind invitation there would have been no Congress, and without her painstaking and untiring assistance there would have been no souvenir of that meeting. For the cuts used in illustrating the work I am indebted to that prince of good fellows, Walter Lewis Patteson, of Springfield, Illinois. The printer did the rest.
