Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Lure of the Past, the Present and Future This narrative of incidents might have been written about other families who crossed the plains in the fifties, but of the many who made the trip, a very few stayed to develop the vast resources of the state of California. Of those who stayed, only a few are left to tell their experience of pioneer life, and they have lived more than four score years and will soon join those who have gone before. This story as related to me by one of these pioneers begins in Kentucky, in the year 1845 and ends in California, in the year 1911, sixty-six years, two generations, twice the average life of man. There have been many changes in that time. Young people of the present, time can hardly realize the hardships, the privations, the obstacles encountered and overcome by their ancestors sixty years or more ago. Then I ask you to go with me on this pilgrimage, that we may share together the joys and sorrows, the sunshine and shadow that make and mar the life of every family. Go with me in fancy and imagine you are standing on a high hill which extends from Cairo on the west to Ashland, Kentucky, on the east, a distance of six hundred miles or more. This hill is not continuous, but broken only where some smaller river empties its water into and becomes a part of the great Ohio river. The month is October, and the year is 1845.
