Excerpt from Indiana Miscellany: Consisting of Sketched of Indian Life, the Early Settlement, Customs, and Hardships of the People, and the Introduction of the Gospel and of Schools, Together With Biographical Notices of the Pioneer Methodist Preachers of the StateIN the following pages I have not presumed to write a history, but simply sketches and inci dents Of the early settlement of Indiana, and Of some of the noble men and women who first emigrated to her territory. Much Of what I have written has been from memory and per sonal knowledge.I have desired to rescue from Oblivion some incidents in the history Of my native State, and perpetuate the memory Of some Of the worthy pioneers who endured all the hardships and privations Of a frontier life.I have presented a brief sketch of the intro duction of Methodism into Indiana. I would, with pleasure, have given some account Of the introduction Of other Christian denominations into the State if I had been in possession of the proper data to enable me to do so. Some of them have acted a noble part in spreading the savor of a Redeemer's name in Indiana.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
