Old Time Tales OLD TIME TALES OF WARREN COUNTY BY ARCH BRISTOW A COLLECTION OF THE PICTURESQUE AND ROMANTIC LORE OF EARLY DAYS IN WARREN COLTNTY, PENNSYLVANIA PUBLISHED DECEMBER, 1932 PRESS OF TRIBUNE PUBLISHING CO. MEADVILLE. PA. SUBSCRIBER'S EDITION Limited to 250 COPIES of which this is number ___ CREDIT DUE It is impossible to personally credit all those who so kindly gave their time in aiding me in collecting, sorting and piecing together the material used in weaving these homespun tales of long ago. The book really originated through a conversation with that grand old gentleman Charles M. Chase, of Russell. To him I am indebted for much valuable material. Readers of Old Time Tales have especially to thank W. Floyd Clinger for some of the most valuable mater­ ial in this book. Mr. Clinger most generously allowed me free access to his accurate and invaluable unprinted history of the region of Tidioute. Without this aid some of the most interesting tales could not have been secured. I have also to especially thank John Gilfillan of Tidi­ oute, John L. McKinney of Titusville, George Ensworth of Warren, the Hon. Charles M. Shortt of Sugar Grove, John Logan of Armitage, Mrs. Hanna Sanford of San­ ford, John Day of Youngsville, James Clark of Torpedo, Mrs. A. J. Mays of Garland, J. P. Miller of Sugar Grove, N. P. Wheeler of Endeavor, Mrs. Lemuel Arters of Youngsville, William McGraw of McGraw, John Dutton of Columbus, Mrs. Rose Evans of Bear Lake, L. P. Rogers of Warren, Mrs. Belle A. Boyce of Warren. The names of others who have aided in the making of this book would fill many pages. I thank them one and all for the time and effort they have so willingly given.

The present is never sat:isfact:ory, it: is forever full of cares and worries. Man is rarely happy in t:he present:, he is always looking backward or forward. Of the future we know nothing, it: is ever a wild guess. But: t:he past: is secure, no power in heaven or eart:h can change a jot of it:. It: is written, and so it must remain, forever and forever. So we can open the pages of the past and read them with satisfaction, t:he pages are always t:here, exactly t:he same, we need have no fear that: they will be changed. If we find sorrow there, time has softened it:, if there is happiness t:he joy is secure, it: cannot: be taken away. The past: is man's most priceless posses­ sion and memories are t:he most substantial t:hings that: men possess. FOREWORD It should be thoroughly understood that this book does not pretend to be a history. The outstan ding his-­ torical events which took place in the early days of Warren County have been ably gathered and written years ago. If the reader discovers that some of the most prominent happenings in the history of the country have been entirely omitted or but casually mentioned here it is hoped he will remember that this volumn makes no pretense at being a history in the ordinary sense of the word, but rather a collection of the picturesque and ro­ mantic happenings of the region, since the early days of the white man. It has been said that "History is a skeleton which only literature can clothe with life and feeling." A mere catalog of happenings is a priceless record, but it paints for us no complete picture of the past. To add some color to things already set down, to rescue from oblivion many true tales never before written is the avowed ob­ ject of this volumn. Warren County is particularly rich in romance of the past. Since La Salle, supposedly the first white man ever to set eyes on the region of Warren County, came traveling down the Allegheny in his canoe; since his countryman Celeron de Bienville made his famous canoe trip down the Conewango many interesting men and women have lived and died among our favored hills of Warren County. Studying the lives of some of these sturdy pioneers who hewed their homes in the wilderness, the men who built the first churches and schoolhouses and rude log bridges which spanned the smaller streams, one wonders at times if such men now exist anywhere. How hard 1 OLD TIME TALES they worked, those men and women who struggled to rear their families here in Warren County when great, virgin forests clothed all the hills and valleys and life smelled of woodsmoke, pine chips, the steam of the great iron kettle bubbling in the open fireplace, and, sometimes, gunpowder! The business of living was a serious one, the day's work began with daybreak, or before. Men walked unbelievable distances, carried tremen­ dous loads, endured hardships as a common part of the day's work. Yet life must have been full of hope, there was a fine virility among the pioneers that made exis­ tence a thing worth fighting hard for. It seems that boredom rarely lives on bare board floors and ennui is unknown in the home whose center of sustenance is a big iron kettle hung in a stone fireplace. Life was raw and hard in many ways in those pioneer times in War­ ren County when axes were ringing in the forest, the tall pines crashed and the winding waters of the Allegheny were carrying countless rafts of logs and lumber to the expanding markets of the south and west. It was work, work, work for the early settlers, and yet, as we look back into those fast fading days of the great forests through the memories of men and women still living, we catch a glimpse of a vivid freshness that permeated life, a tremendous faith and interest in existence not encoun­ tered in these modern times. Men labored through long, solitary days in the forest, felling trees, clearing the land with high hope in their hearts. Women sang at their wool carding and candle making, while they knitted sturdy gray stockings for the children to wear on snow­ drifted trudgings to the log schoolhouse, often miles away. Hardship there was a-plenty, yet the vision seemed never to perish from the people. 2 OLD TIME TALES Babies were born in woodland cabins without the aid of a doctor. Many women had their dried bundles of herbs and roots hanging near the open fireplace and in the great iron kettle were boiled and brewed such herba­ ceous remedies as occasion called for. And somewhere in the neighborhood there was always an old woman who "knew the herbs" and would come for a considera­ tion, or without one, and minister to the sick. Rugged honesty existed in a high degree among the early homemakers in Warren County. Extensive pieces of land were often sold without the stroke of a pen. John Brown would say to John Davis, "I would like to buy two hundred acres of that land of yours along the creek. I have no money now but I can pay you something at the end of a year." And the land would be surveyed, or per­ haps "stepped off", the deal considered closed and pay­ ment never doubted. It was pretty well back when busi­ ness was done that way in Warren County, yet such deals were made within the memories of men living in this year of 1930. It seems natural to clothe the past in mists of ro­ mance that obscure the harshness -we know existed. Man­ kind is inclined to look backward and forward rather than at the present, vesting both past and future with a glamour born, in one case of kindly memory which is prone to forget the unpleasant, in the other of that hope which springs eternal in the human breast._ Yet it is un­ deniable that the blue wood smoke that went curling up from Warren County's pioneer cabins to go floating off through the endless green forests ·was full of romance and the picturesque. To catch some of that romance, to picture the picturesque is the aim of this book. 3 OLD TIME TALES The stories set down here have been gathered with infinite pains from the four corners of the county with occasional excursions over the lines, as in the case of Teddy Collins who had many dealings in Warren County though he never lived here. Other incidents for which the county lines were crossed have been deemed worthy of inclusion because of their associations with Warren County. Certain chapters have been written in story form be­ cause this style of presentation seemed best adapted to them.

  • Zen in the Art of Writing – Ray Bradbury
    A NOTE ABOUT THE AUTHOR Ray Bradbury has published some twenty-seven books—novels, stories, plays, essays, and poems—since his first story appeared when he was twenty years old. He began writing for the movies in 1952—with the script for his own Beast from 20,000 Fathoms. The next year he wrote the screenplays for It Came from Outer Space and Moby Dick. And in 1961 he wrote Orson Welles's narration for King of Kings. Films have been made of his "The Picasso Summer," The Illustrated Man, Fahrenheit 451, The Mar- tian Chronicles, and Something Wicked This Way Comes, and the short animated film Icarus Montgolfier Wright, based on his story of the history of flight, was nominated for an Academy Award. Since 1985 he has adapted his stories for "The Ray Bradbury Theater" on USA Cable television.

  • Beasts of Gor John Norman Volume 12 of the Chronicles of Counter-Earth
    Beasts Of Gor John Norman Volume 12 of the Chronicles of Counter-Earth ------------------------------------------------------------ Chapter 1 THE SLEEN "There is no clue," Samos had said. I lay awake on the great couch. I stared at the ceiling of the room. Light from a perforated lamp flickered dimly. The furs were deep and soft. My weapons lay to one side. A slave, sleeping, lay chained at my feet. There was no clue. "He might be anywhere," had said Samos. He had shrugged. "We know only that somewhere he is among us." We know little about that species of animal called the Kur. We do know it is blood-thirsty, that it feeds on human flesh and that it is concerned with glory. "It is not unlike men," had once said Misk to me, a Priest-King. This story, in its way, has no clear beginning. It began, I suppose, some thousands of years ago when Kurii, in internecine wars, destroyed the viability of a native world. Their state at that time was sufficiently advanced technologically to construct small steel worlds in orbit, each some pasangs in diameter, The remnants of a shattered species then, as a world burned below them, turned hunting to the plains of the stars. We do not know how long their hunt took. But we do know the worlds, long ago, entered the system of a slow-revolving, medium-sized yellow star occupying a peripheral position in one of nature's bounteous, gleaming, strewn spiral universes. They had found their quarry, a world. They had found two worlds, one spoken of as Earth, the other as Gor.

  • Introduction
    Cambridge University Press 0521834589 - Othello Edited by Julie Hankey Excerpt More information INTRODUCTION Over the last twenty years or so, Othello has leapt into focus as a play for our times. Its story of ‘us and them’ (or rather ‘him’), of brute racism and misogyny, of miscegenation, sexual anxiety and domestic violence – all this seems, with uncanny prescience, to speak directly to us now. At certain moments and places and with certain actors (e.g. in 1943 in the USA with Robeson; in apartheid South Africa with John Kani) the racism within the play has resonated so loudly with the racism outside, that the fit between the seventeenth and the twentieth centuries has seemed complete. ‘Well, I ask you’, wrote Janet Suzman, who directed John Kani, ‘is there a subject on earth which Shakespeare hasn’t thought of first? It is as if he is toying with the theory of apartheid four hundred years before the policy was cooked up.’1 It is often maintained in this way that Shakespeare overturns the racist stereotypes of his day. It is pointed out that the stage Moors that preceded Othello2 would have led audiences to expect a lecherous, crafty,cruel, venge- ful braggart; that the opening ribaldry of Iago and Roderigo plays to these expectations, and that Othello undercuts them as soon as he appears.3 Weare reminded that the play’s ‘demi-devil’ is not the black Othello, but the white Iago. Writing in 1987, the same year as Suzman’s production, the South African critic Martin Orkin was convinced that it was precisely because of this that the play was never taught in South African high schools – that Shakespeare was being censored as an anti-racist before his time.4 But on second thoughts, other resonances jangle.
