[EAN: 9781333587772], Neubuch, [PU: Forgotten Books, United States], Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****. Excerpt from History of Westchester County, New York: From Its Earliest Settlement to the Year 1900 Long before the work now given to the public was conceived as a practical project. The present editor realized the force of these consid orations and cherished not only a hope that a genuine narrative his tory of the county might some day be produced, but an ambition to become personally instrumental in achieving so important a result. His attention was especially directed to the matter by his observa tions during his connection with the schools, from which he became convince-d of the extremely elementary character of the general knowledge of this county s history, even in relation to the Revolution, whereof, indeed, anything like a well co-ordinated understanding is most exceptional among the people, and quite incapable of being taught to the young because of the unsuitability for that purpose of all books heretofore published that bear on the subject. In formulating the plan for the present work the editor had funda mentally in view a lucid continuous narrative, thorough in its treat ment of the outlines of the subject and reasonably attentive to local details without extending to minuteness. These lines have been fol lowed throughout. All existing materials, so far as accessible, have been utilized, proper credit being given to the sources from which borrowings have been made. The work comprehends a variety of new materials, which have been interwoven in the text. Portions of the manuscript have bee-n revised or criticised by persons particularly well informed on certain phases of the subject; and to all of these critics the editor extends his thankful acknowledgments.
