Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Discourse Commemorative of Rev. Rufus Anderson, D.D., LL. D : Late Corresponding Secretary of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, Together With Addresses at the Funeral Two hundred years take us back to the time of the Covenanters, and to heaths of Scotland red with the blood of witnesses for Christ´s cross and crown. The atrocities of Claverhouse and his dragoons prepared the minds of a God-fearing company in Argyleshire for migration to the north of Ireland. In the famous siege of Londonderry it was Protestant Scotch colonists whose bravery held that small city against King James´s twenty thousand men, who for four months invested the place. The happy revolution effected by William of Orange, however, left them still subject to various annoyances, such as paying tithes toward a distasteful establishment; and before many years passed, a company of sixteen men with their families sailed for New England. Their first winter, a severe one, was from necessity spent on shipboard in the harbor of Portland, Maine. They then came round by the way of the Merrimac to Haverhill in Massachusetts; and thence groped through an untrodden wilderness to a spot in New Hampshire, since known as Londonderry. That was one hundred and sixty-one years ago. In that little group of sixteen men, soon joined by others from the Province of Ulster, was James Anderson, the great-grandfather of Dr. Rufus Anderson. To no other settlement perhaps in our country did there come immigrants more homogeneous, more strictly religious, more deliberate in forming their opinions, or more inflexible in maintaining them. Neither poverty-stricken nor wealthy, they prized their faith and freedom above all treasures. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
