Old Paths and Legends of the New England Border: Connecticut, Deerfield, Berkshire (Classic Reprint) - Couverture souple
Présentation de l'éditeur
In our new historical journey, we shall attempt to follow, as far as may be in a few pages, the ever-shifting border line of colonial settlement the westward drift of the log-hut across the wilderness of New England in the days when we were still subject to kingly rule. The story of border life in the North American colonies is more of a romance than an historical study, a vivid illustration of Daudet saphorism Romance is the history of men, and history the romance of kings. It was in the reign of King Charles that the inevitable course of empire swept on to the New England coast; the great A nglo-S axon wave crept onward from river-valley to river-valley, the Indian kings retreating before it, ever westward, exiles from the hunting-grounds of their fathers; until, in the reign of our sovereign Lord George the Second, nought but the Taconic range of Berkshire stood between the homes of the English yeomanry on the Housatonic and the feudal manors of Dutch Patroons on the Hudson. The experience of our colonists is unique in the history of nations: in part a peaceful tilling of the soil; in part a strife with a race of red-men, some amenable to friendly overture, others implacable fiends in human form, dreaded, even as allies, by both French and English. Yet the acts of these strange, primitive chiefs changed the history of the Courts of Europe. It is a fascinating occupation to trace the westward path trodden by our ancestors.
