Excerpt from Historic Easton: From the Window of a Trolley-CarMuch that might by chance aid in the solution of these problems is often presented in a more perplexing form, that which is obscure and unintelligible to the interpreter through whom they now speak, will likely remain forever a sealed book. Traditions were the principle source of information of all early historical writers, and even after being shorn of all exaggerated embellishments that from time to time had been added, while true in the main, were but little more than distorted facts, their continued repetition by subsequent writers even in a revised form, but lacking verification as to their correctness through research of original sources. Is unpardonable.Such stories, while producing interesting reading, are unreliable and misleading to the student of history, to whom they are of but little or no value whatever.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
