He was known by the name of Juan de Fuca, and the name was subsequently given to a portion of the waters he discovered. As far as known he made no official report of his discoveries, but he told navi­ gators, and from these men has descended to us the knowledge thereof. Richard Hakluyt, in 1600, gave some account of Fuca and his voyages and discoveries. Michael Locke, in 1625, pub­ lished the following statement in England. "I met in Venice in 1596 an old Greek mariner called Juan de Fuca, but whose real name was Apostolus Valerianus, who detailed that in 1592 he sailed in a small caravel from Mexico in the service of Spain along the coast of Mexico and California, until he came to the latitude of 47 degrees, and there finding the land trended north and northeast, and also east and south east, with a broad inlet of seas between 47 and 48 degrees of latitude, he entered therein, sailing more than twenty days, and at the entrance of said strait there is on the northwest coast thereto a great headland or island, with an exceeding high pinacle or spiral rock, like a pillar thereon." Fuca also reported find­ ing various inlets and divers islands; describes the natives as dressed in skins, and as being so hostile that he was glad to get away.

The album contains nearly 200 original photographs (numbered sequentially at the top), most of which were autographed by their subjects.

PREFACE To Abraham Lincoln, the Civil War was essentially a people's contest over the maintenance of a government dedi- cated to the elevation of man and the right of every citizen to an unfettered start in the race of life. President Lincoln believed that most Americans understood this, for he liked to boast that while large numbers of Army and Navy officers had resigned their commissions to take up arms against the government, not one common soldier or sailor was known to have deserted his post to fight for the Confederacy.

  • Perry County, Indiana, a History

    "To make the past present, to bring the present near' — Macaulay FOREWORD As an author's privilege is conceded him the right to speak of difficulties met with, of obstacles overcome, in the preparation of his completed work. Yet is it not more agreeable to recall the pleasures encountered along the roadside, the cordial assistance so cheerfully given, the spirit of ready helpfulness which ever brightened the most toilsome research ? While individual acknowledgment of such favours cannot possibly be made, it is hoped that none among those whose aid has contributed toward the material of this volume will, on such score, deem its writer un- appreciative. So marked has been the kindness shown, so encour- aging the words of loyal confidence expressed, that the twelvemonth of its actual writing has taught its writer in many unexpected ways the genuine quality of Perry County friendship, which reaches across all boundary lines to lend a helping hand. It is believed that this same warmheartedness will make every allowance due for unavoidable shortcomings or omissions in the story now offered each one who may care to read.

The chief object of this Supplement is to preserve some ac- count of many pioneer settlers of Augusta county and their immediate descendants. It would be impossible, within any reasonable limits, to include the existing generation, and hence the names of living persons are generally omitted. The writer regrets that he cannot present here sketches of other ancient and worthy families, such as the Andersons, Christians, Hamiltons, Kerrs, McPheeterses, Millers, Pattersons, Pilsons, Walkers, etc. The genealogies of several of the oldest and most distinguished families— Lewis, Preston, Houston, etc. —are omitted, because they are given fully in other publications. For much valuable assistance the writer is indebted to Jacob Fuller, Esq. , Librarian of Washington and Lee University, and especially to Miss Alice Trimble, of New Vienna, Ohio. J. A. W.

    Notes About Scotch-Irish and German Settlers in Virginia and the Carolinas

    Notes about Scotch-Irish and German Settlers in Virginia and the Carolinas Copyright © 2000–2009 by William Lee Anderson III. All rights reserved. Scotch-Irish and German Settlers in Virginia and the Carolinas Introduction During the 1700s many Scotch-Irish and German immigrants arrived in America. They and their children settled parts of Pennsylvania, Virginia, and the Carolinas. Today, most of their descendants never think about their heritage. Most live in the present, are working on real-life problems, or planning their future. That attitude was shared by their ancestor immigrants 250 years ago. Nonetheless, I suspect most descendants have at least wondered what the word Scotch-Irish means. All my life, I have heard various facts, but never understood how they fit together. Some facts appeared contradictory. So, I investigated, and discovered a colorful story that far exceeded my expectations. My principal objectives were to: Understand certain comments made by grandparents and other relatives over 40 years ago. Understand the confusing adjective Scotch-Irish. Understand the confusing cultural icons of bagpipes, kilts, Celtic whistles, etc. Understand the history of Moravian, Lutheran, Mennonite, Amish, Dunkards, Presbyterian, Puritanism, Huguenot, Quaker, Methodist, Congregational, and Baptist denominations that have churches in the Carolinas. Understand why and when surnames became common. Understand ancestor Margaret Moore‘s recollections of the Siege of Londonderry in 1689. Understand motivations of Scotch-Irish and German immigrants during the 1700s and terms of their Carolina land grants. Understand relations between early Carolina immigrants and Native Americans. Understand why Scotland‘s heroine Flora Macdonald came to live in North Carolina in 1774.

    Columbia River Valley. 7Rom ?He Zalles to the Sea

    HISTORY of the Columbia River Valley. 7rom ?he Zalles to the Sea By FRED LOCKLEY Volume I Illustrated CHICAGO THE S.J. CLARKE PUBLISHING COMPANY 1928 FRED LOCKLEY as FOREWORD There is a great human interest story in the valley of the Columbia Rivera romance of early mythsof Indian life and loreof the dis-. coveries of explorers by land and seaof settlement and empire building. There can be no doubt as to the importance of preserving the early records of this district in permanent form.Historians have already recorded dates, census-takers have tabulated the increase of population and works of reference abound. But I believe there is a field for another sort of historynot one of mere facts and figures, but one full of human interest.Since boyhood I have been interested in the stories of pioneers and of pioneer life.During the past quarter of a century it has been my good fortune to meet and talk with thousands of pioneersto inter- view them and to record their experiences in the columns of the daily press.It has seemed eminently fitting to gather the information thus gained into a more complete worka summing up of thousands of per- sonal contacts and to portray in graphic form the motives, difficulties and achievements that have combined to make the Columbia River Valley what it is today.I hope that this work may help to perpetuate the memories of those who contributed to the upbuilding of the Oregon Country and may prove of interest, not only to those of us who are here today, but to our successors, who shall continue to build when we have passed on.I appreciate to the full the work that has been done by previous writers and all I can hope to do is to supplement what they have done.
