Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A History of Sullivan County Indiana, Vol. 1: Closing of the First Century´s History of the County and Showing the Growth of Its People, Institutions, Industries and Wealth In assuming the position of editor of the present work we were aware of the difficulties in the way of producing such a history as that outlined in the prospectus. As the work progressed we found we had not overestimated the task. and but for the energy and perseverance of the chief historian. Mr. Hill, who has so loyally seconded all of our efforts we should certainly have come short of our own expectations. Our readers can scarcely imagine the labor necessary to overcome the difficulties of such a work where there is so little authentic data. The original intention of giving a history of Sullivan County, for about one century, has been adhered to; but to prepare such a history where the public records have been destroyed and all those who really made the first twenty-five or fifty years of that history have ceased to speak, is a difficult task. In a country where annals arc kept, and events of each year are recorded as they occur, it is an easy matter to select, group and condense those events into a general history. No such effort is attempted in this work. Events will not, therefore, be found in chronological order, but must be sought under she head of the subject matter under consideration. No attempt has been made to give prominence to every little neighborhood event. This would be the work of a daily newspaper, and if inserted here would make an encyclopedia instead of a history, and hence only those of general interest have been selected. Where facts have been recorded they have been consulted, where witnesses arc living they have been examined and cross-questioned - ancient newspapers and private documents have been consulted, and even "tables of stone," "silent sentinels of the dead" have been visited and asked to give up their secrets of other years.
