Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from The Morrills and Reminiscences For a number of years my children and friends endeavored to persuade me to write reminiscences of my life. I refused to undertake this until the year 1916, at which time I was nearly seventy-five years of age. These pages give a fairly clear record of a part of my life´s work. Among other things I have visited every state in the United States, studying social and economic conditions, as well as soil, climate, and production. I have visited manufactories, mines, agricultural regions, and every important irrigation system in the United States. I have noted with interest the growth of villages, cities, and educational institutions in the several states where my work lay, and have watched the changes wrought in the material welfare of people incident to the introduction of labor saving devices, railroads, traction lines, means of communication, lighting, heating, and general sanitation. It has been a source of unending gratification to note the success that attended the efforts of our hardy pioneers who rose steadily from want to positions of influence and even affluence. For many years I was instrumental in purchasing wild lands in western Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado, and Montana, and afterward in cultivating them. These purchases aggregated more than one hundred thousand acres. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
