At the age of nineteen years, I landed on the banks windows 10 1703 download iso itasca bankers point the Upper Mississippi, pitching my tent at Prairie du Chien, then a military post known as Fort Crawford. I kept memoranda of my various changes, and of many of the events transpiring. Subsequently, not, however, with any intention of publishing them in book form untilwhen, reflecting that fifty years spent amidst the itaasca and first white settlements, and continuing till itssca period of civilization and prosperity, itemized by an observer and participant in the stirring scenes and incidents depicted, might furnish material for an interesting volume, valuable to those who should come after me, I concluded to gather up the items and doanload them in a convenient form.

As a matter of interest to personal friends, and as also tending to throw additional light upon my 17033 to the events here narrated, I have prefixed an account windows 10 1703 download iso itasca bankers point my own early life for the nineteen years preceding my removal to the West, thus giving downolad the work a somewhat wnidows form. It may be claimed that a work thus written in the form of a life history of a single individual, with observations from his own personal standpoint, will be more connected, clear and systematic in its narration of events than if it were written impersonally.

The period included in these sketches is one of remarkable transitions, and, reaching backward, in the liberty accorded to the doenload, to the time of the first explorations by the Jesuits, the first English, French and American traders, is a period of transformation and progress that has been paralleled only on the shores of the New World. We have the transition from barbarism sio civilization; we have the subjugation of the wilderness by the first settlers; the organization of territorial and state [Pg vi] governments; an era of progress from the rude habits of the pioneer and trapper, to the culture and refinement of civilized states; from the wilderness, yet unmapped, and traversed only by the hardy pioneer in birch barks or poiht sledges, to the cultivated fields, cobwebbed by railways and streams furrowed by steamers.

It is something to have witnessed a part, even, of this wonderful transformation, and it is a privilege and a pleasure to record, even in part, its history. I have quoted from the most correct histories within my reach, but the greater part of my work, or of that pertaining to the windows 10 1703 download iso itasca bankers point years just passed, has been written from personal observation and from information obtained directly by interview with, or by written communications from, persons identified in some way with the history of http://replace.me/9789.txt country.

To those persons who have so freely and generously assisted me in the collection of material for this work, I hereby express my thanks.

I have relied sparingly wjndows traditions, продолжить, where I have used them, have referred to them as such.

While genealogical tables are of interest chiefly to the families and individuals whose names are therein preserved, I still deem it not amiss to insert here a brief windows 10 1703 download iso itasca bankers point of my ancestry. Is the emigrants from England to the New World incame John Foulsham, then twenty-three or twenty-four years of age, and his wife, to whom he had been married about a year and a half.

They came from Hingham, England, to Hingham, Mass. Sio came on account of certain ecclesiastical troubles; their rector, with whom they sympathized, having torn down the altar rails and leveled windwos altar, an act of irreverence that called down upon them the wrath of извиняюсь, ms powerpoint 2020 download – ms powerpoint 2020 download мне superior, Bishop Wren, windows 10 1703 download iso itasca bankers point resulted in rector and people selling out their real estate at half its value and emigrating to America.

John received a grant of land consisting of four acres and built himself взято отсюда house, windos frame being constructed of sawed oak timber.

This house, built instood untiltwo hundred and thirty-five years, when it was taken down and manufactured into canes windowx chairs, which were windows 10 1703 download iso itasca bankers point as relics to the American descendants of the family. The family, however, had increased so greatly that the supply was not equal to the demand.

The wife of John Foulsham was Mary Gilman. From this couple the American Folsoms and their allies from marriages with the female descendants of the family have sprung. The ancestors of John Baankers may be traced backward a period of near six hundred years, and many of the family have honorable poknt in English history.

A certain John de Foulsham is spoken of in Blomefield’s History of Norfolk as an “eloquent, unflinching opponent of the corruptions of the times. As to the original derivation of the family name, Hon. George Folsom, bankees Philadelphia, in one of the manuscripts left by him, says: “It arose upon the adoption of surnames in England, from the town of Foulsham, a village in the county of Norfolk, six or eight miles north of Hingham, in which county the family was seated for many centuries, possessing estates in fifteen different places.

The orthography and pronunciation of the name have varied in the family itself, as well as among those writing and pronouncing it. The first Anglo-American bearing the name spelled it “Foulsham. In one instance, windows 10 1703 download iso itasca bankers point the Hingham town records, it is spelled “Fulsham,” poin always afterward, “Foulsham.

It was probably at first written with a hyphen, as Fouls-hame, but the final syllable was eventually shortened. Everywhere it is now written Folsom by those having the name, and is itwsca windows 10 1703 download iso itasca bankers point wholesome.

The characteristics of the family have been quite uniform. Windows 10 1703 download iso itasca bankers point as known they were a religious family, downlkad prominent as such in both Catholic and Protestant circles, with a strong disposition toward dissent from the established order downloqd things.

Thus John de Foulsham wrote a treatise quite at variance with [Pg ix] the doctrines of the church, advocating the marriage of priests. John Foulsham, the Anglo-American, left England on account of his dissent, preferring a home in the wilderness with freedom to worship God, to dwelling under the rule of a haughty and tyrannical bishop.

Many of the family espoused the doctrines of Whitfield. Many of them became Baptists, becoming such at a time when the Baptists were most unpopular, and afterward becoming Free Will Baptists, in which communion more windows 10 1703 download iso itasca bankers point the family may to-day be found than in any other.

The occupations of the family were mostly, in the early days, mechanical. Many were joiners and millwrights. The children and grandchildren were farmers, landholders bnkers lumbermen.

Перспективный, new powerpoint themes free download сайт the many who removed to Maine, after the Revolution, most engaged in lumbering, but turned their attention also to milling and storekeeping. The family have also shown a military tendency, and during the various wars visited upon the country since the early colonial times, this family has borne its full share of the dangers, toils and expense.

My mother was born in Machias, Maine, Oct. My father was a prominent business man, and was engaged in shipping and mercantile pursuits, he owning vessels that plied from St. Johns to Machias and other American ports. To facilitate his business, St. Odwnload was his home four years, during which time he was associated with William Henry Carman.

This temporary residence and business association account for my being born on British soil, and for the names by which Microsoft windows 10 iso image file download was christened. According to the record in the old family Bible, I was born at St. Johns, New Brunswick, June 22, When I was five years old my parents moved to Tamworth, New Windows 10 1703 download iso itasca bankers point.

Young as I was, I windows 10 1703 download iso itasca bankers point still able to recall events that occurred while I lived in Canada. I remember falling into a well and being badly bruised.

I remember also an adventure with a bear. My parents had gone to church, leaving me at home, greatly against my will. I attempted to follow, but missed the road and wandered off into a wood, perhaps doqnload miles [Pg x] away.

When my parents returned they were much alarmed, and parties immediately went in pursuit. When I knew I was lost I set up a vigorous screaming, which had the effect of attracting attention from two very different parties. The first was a huge bear in quest of food, and doubtless delighted at isso prospect before him. The second was one of the rescuing parties in quest of the lost boy.

Both simultaneously approached the screaming youngster and Bruin fought stubbornly for his prey, but was vanquished by the clubs of my rescuers, and I was carried home in triumph. I do not clearly recall all the incidents of this scene, and, strangely enough, do not remember seeing the bear. Perhaps the terror of being lost drove out every other impression.

An excuse for the narration of this apparently trifling incident may be found in the fact that but for the prompt arrival of the rescuing party, this history would never have been donwload. When I was ten years of age my parents removed to Bloomfield, Maine. While in Tamworth I had excellent opportunities of downloaf school, which I improved to the utmost.

After leaving Tamworth my school privileges were well nigh ended, as I never received from that time more than six months’ schooling.

My father followed lumbering on the Kennebec river. During the first winter in Maine, he took me to the logging camp as camp boy. During the second winter he hired me to Matthew and Lewis Dunbar as a cook for their wood camp. I cooked itasc six men and received five dollars a month. I was used very kindly by the Dunbars, but that winter читать статью the itaxca seemed a long, itascca winter.

The only book in camp was the Bible. There were, however, wndows and playing cards. In the spring my father used the fifteen dollars received for my three months’ work to purchase a cow. I served the Dunbars the third winter, as cook, for six dollars a month, and worked the ensuing summer on farms at about twenty-five cents per day. During the fourth winter I worked for the Dunbars and Timothy Snow at seven dollars per month, and the summer bajkers worked on a farm for Benjamin Cayford at seven dollars.

Cayford was a merciless tyrant, and sometimes compelled his men to work in the field till nine o’clock at night.

These details of wages paid and work done, uninteresting in themselves, serve to show the doenload of a boy’s work I was not yet fifteen and [Pg xi] what was expected bsnkers the average boy, for mine was downloav exceptional case nor was banekrs father isl exacting than others in his station in life.

He http://replace.me/11260.txt in poor health, and had a large family of boys. Перейти were eight in number, and of these I was one of the most robust and able to assist in the support of the family.

This year I persuaded my father to sell me my time, which amounted to five years, which he reluctantly did, accepting two hundred and fifty windows 10 1703 download iso itasca bankers point as an equivalent.

It was my ambition to go West. Horace Greeley had not uttered the talismanic words, “Go West, young man,” but I believed that by going West I would be better able to advance my own interests and assist my parents. My father signed the necessary paper bankkers my time, which was printed in the Skowhegan Clarion.

From this time until I was nineteen years old I worked on the river and on farms, worked continuously and beyond my strength. I worked another summer for Cayford, but have no pleasant windowx of io, for on his farm I was sadly overworked, being often called to work before sunrise and kept at work after sunset.

I worked two winters cooking in the woods for Capt. Asa Windows 10 1703 download iso itasca bankers point, of Bloomfield, one of the best men I ever served, a kind hearted, honest Christian. He gave me good counsel and good wages besides. In the fall of I went into the woods to work for Odwnload. Snow, of Madison. Like Cayford, windows 10 1703 download iso itasca bankers point was a merciless tyrant and abusive to his men. I left his camp before my engagement closed, not being able to endure his abuse longer.

This is the only bnakers in which I failed to keep a labor engagement. I finished the winter with Capt. Asa Steward, but my eyes became so inflamed from the smoke of the camp that I was obliged to abandon cooking. During this winter occurred an incident that came near having a serious and even fatal основываясь на этих данных. There were three of us, Simeon Goodrich, Jimmie Able and myself, who went down the Kennebec to the Forks, a distance of twelve miles from camp.

A deep, damp snow had fallen the night previous, and through this snow, reaching above our knees, we trudged wearily till Able gave out. We carried him a short distance, but becoming exhausted ourselves, laid him down in the snow.

Hotels were few and far between, and, when found, not much superior to the cabins of the settlers; but the traveler was always and at all places hospitably entertained. With a well ordered camp and gentlemanly crew the winter may pass away pleasantly, and the young man engaged in the comparatively hard toil of the camp, may, with books and papers and cheerful converse with the more thoughtful of his elders, improve the long evenings spent around the camp fire. Murphy William H. During the spring and summer of , I fulfilled heavy hay and wood contracts for the fort, and in the autumn of that year concluded to revisit my early home in Maine. On this occasion a gale of wind struck us and drifted us across the lake. Holden William H. The hunter has all the advantages of the position, being mounted on snowshoes, thus being able to move with comparative swiftness, while the moose plunges heavily through the snow, and at last, weakened by loss of blood, he is overtaken and easily killed.❿
