-
-The Pioneer Home, which serves as an Information Center for Carillon
-Park, is believed to have been built about 1815.
-
-It was originally located in Washington Township about five miles
-southwest of Centerville on Social Row Road, about halfway between
-Sheehan Road and Yankee Street. In the spring of 1953 it was torn down
-and moved to Carillon Park, where it was rebuilt, using the original
-stones and timbers.
-
-Abstract records in the Court House show that the 20-acre plot on which
-this house was originally located was sold by Abner and Patsy Garrard on
-February 14, 1815, to William Morris and his wife. The purchase price
-was $140. Later records show that the Morrises sold the property on
-September 18, 1838, for $753. The difference in the purchase and selling
-prices was the largest in over 50 years and indicates that the house was
-built sometime during that 23-year period.
-
-Since 1858 the property has had a number of owners, including an
-Elizabeth Morris, who bought it in 1856 and lived there for 30 years.
-Whether she was related to the builder of the house is not known. In
-1896 the property was purchased by Mr. and Mrs. Hugh E. Brunk, who lived
-in the house until 1907.
-
-Most houses built in the early 1800’s were made of logs and chinked with
-plaster made of lime and sand. This house was built of a good quality
-white limestone, the reason probably being that stone was easier to
-obtain than logs in this particular location, because a stone quarry was
-located scarcely a quarter-mile away. The old quarry, near Sheehan Road,
-long since has been abandoned.
-
-    [Illustration: Pioneers and Conestoga wagon]
-
-The stone walls of the house were about 18 inches thick and the inside
-surface of these walls was plastered. The whole interior of the
-downstairs rooms, except the floors, was whitewashed. The interior
-dimensions of the lower floor are 15 by 23 feet.
-
-Floor joists, rafters, and shingle laths were all hand hewn from white
-oak. Examination of the floor joists disclosed that four of them had
-been split from the same log. All wooden trim and the door and window
-frames were of black walnut. In the period when this house was built,
-the use of this kind of wood was not at all uncommon even in barns.
-
-The floor boards were about one and a quarter inches thick and were of
-beech and walnut. There is no ridge pole to support the roof, but the
-rafters are notched and put together with wooden pins. The split
-shingles were of oak. In the work of reconstruction, all of the stone
-used is the original stone except the floor, which formerly was of wood.
-The ceiling beams, attic flooring, rafters and most of the shingle laths
-are originals. The remaining woodwork which was in bad condition has
-been replaced but the original details of design and construction have
-been carefully reproduced.
-
-The fireplace chimneys are a part of the end walls. This style of
-architecture shows the Moravian influence, the Moravians being a
-religious sect who came to Ohio mostly from North Carolina,
-Pennsylvania, and Georgia.
-
-Wooden partitions at one time divided the lower floor into three rooms:
-two tiny bedrooms and the living room. Because they made the rooms so
-small, these partitions were not included when the house was rebuilt.
-
-Each room had its own fireplace. The large one was used for cooking and
-for heating the combination kitchen and living room. The two smaller
-fireplaces were in the bedrooms. They were connected to a single chimney
-and have been omitted.
-
-The large fireplace was the center of activity for the household. Every
-morning a large log would be brought in and placed on the embers left
-from the fire of the night before. This log would be big enough to last
-the day, and smaller sticks and logs would be put in front of it. If no
-coals survived from the night before, the fire had to be lighted by
-sparks from flint and steel, which was always a tedious task, or coals
-might be borrowed from a neighbor. This was seldom necessary because
-most families took care not to let their fires go out.
-
-Hinged to the side of the big fireplace was a crane with pot hooks or
-“trammels” on which cooking utensils were hung. Its deep pit provided
-storage for wood ashes so necessary to the pioneer for the making of lye
-used in making soap and hominy. Nearby was the inevitable bellows—known
-in those days as “belluses”—and the hearth brush.
-
-Cooking over an open fireplace was difficult, but many housewives became
-very proficient at it, and meat cooked in this way had a flavor
-unexcelled by any mode of cooking today.
-
-The big fireplace also had its disadvantages. With the first frost,
-flies were likely to swarm down through the chimney and into the room.
-
-On one side of the fireplace was a built-in cupboard where cooking
-utensils and dishes were kept. The plates and bowls usually were made of
-wood or pewter, and the knives, forks and spoons of horn. Also in the
-cupboard might be found a bread basket, dough trough, candle-stick
-molds, a bootjack, and a box of sand used to polish the pewter ware.
-
-On the other side of the fireplace was a steep staircase leading to the
-attic and typical of those found in small houses of the period.
-
-Nearby, perhaps over the fireplace, were suspended a flint-lock musket
-and powder horn. Hanging from the ceiling of the room might be a warming
-pan, raccoon skins, fox pelts, slabs of bacon and venison, chains of
-sausages, and strings of dried apples and red peppers. And on a
-convenient shelf was the family Bible, the leather cover of which was
-used—without any disrespect intended—by the man of the house for
-stropping his straight-edge razor.
-
-    [Illustration: Flatboat on river]
-
-The attic of the house was floored with rough boards but was otherwise
-unfurnished. It had been used as a bedroom, and imagination can conjure
-the image of a small, wide-eyed boy lying on a pallet of rustling corn
-husks, listening to the wind rattle the shingles and dodging an
-occasional drop of rain which seeped through. Perhaps it wasn’t always
-imagination when he heard the howl of wolves or the yell of a passing
-Indian. A portion of the attic floor has been cut away so visitors may
-see the original rafters and shingle strips.
-
-    [Illustration: Fireplace]
-
-About the time the Pioneer Home was built, carpenter work was relatively
-expensive. Dormer windows containing 12 panes of glass cost $12; door
-frames were 8c a linear foot and window frames 16c. Panel doors were
-priced at 75c per panel. This partially explains why the windows were
-few and small. Another reason, of course, was the difficulty of heating
-the house adequately in the winter. It was also very difficult to
-transport large panes of glass over rough roads from the East.
-
-The house at one time had a partial basement with dirt floor, but it had
-no porches. At a later date a wooden lean-to was added at the rear but
-it has long since disappeared. This addition housed a bedroom and
-kitchen.
-
-In the yard behind the house there was probably an outdoor fire pit with
-a large iron kettle suspended above it. This kettle was used for making
-soap, lard, and apple butter, and on wash days for boiling clothes.
-There was also a smokehouse and tobacco-drying and stripping shed.
-
-Also just outside the back door was a rough wooden water bench on which
-were a wooden basin, a gourd dipper, and soap made of grease, ashes and
-sand.
-
-As was the practice in those days, the house was located on the bank of
-a small stream, a tributary of Hole’s Creek. Near this stream, a well
-was dug and a well-sweep erected for lowering the oaken bucket into the
-well.
-
-This Pioneer Home was placed in Carillon Park to show the people of this
-generation how their forefathers lived. The purpose of this book, too,
-is to describe the hardships overcome by the pioneers who braved the
-unknown wilderness to help carve the destiny that we, as Americans,
-enjoy today.
-
-Of William Morris and his wife, little is known. But much is known of
-the era in which they lived.
-
-Most of the early pioneers who came to the Miami Valley trekked westward
-over the rough mountain trails to Pittsburgh and then sailed down the
-Ohio River. A few more hardy souls came overland all the way.
-
-These settlers were attracted to the Valley by descriptions of this
-“fabulous” land where the earth needed “only to be tickled with the hoe
-to laugh with the harvest.”
-
-The trip westward was both expensive and uncomfortable. Household goods
-and supplies were loaded in “road wagons” and the wife and children
-clambered on top of the load. The man of the family and the larger boys
-usually rode horses.
-
-As many as six horses were used to pull the lumbering wagons over the
-steep mountain trails, and often it was necessary to stop during the
-ascent to rest the horses. At these times large rocks were placed behind
-the wheels to keep the wagons from rolling backward. The deep mud of the
-valleys was almost as difficult to overcome.
-
-It was a relief indeed when the Alleghenies had been crossed and the
-family safely transferred to the “broad horn” river boat. The journey
-downstream was more serene, but was long and tiring. However, there was
-always something new to be seen around the next bend of the river and
-always stories to listen to ... stories of singing fish, of wild Indian
-raids, and of the fine town of Losantiville, the early name for
-Cincinnati. The entire journey from Pittsburgh to Cincinnati required
-about six weeks. The trip from Cincinnati to Dayton was usually made by
-wagon, although some boats were “poled” up the Miami River at a speed of
-about eight miles a day.
-
-    [Illustration: Essential to the pioneer of the early American
-    frontier was a dependable rifle to provide food and protection for
-    his family. This “Kentucky Rifle,” a muzzle loader which used
-    percussion caps, was fashioned about 1830 by a Pennsylvania gunsmith
-    for Jacob Deeds, great-grandfather of Colonel E. A. Deeds whose
-    grandfather, Andrew Deeds, brought it to Ohio in 1850. This rifle is
-    a later version of the flintlock rifle which made possible
-    settlement of the dark, lonely and often dangerous forests that once
-    covered most of Ohio. It now is mounted on the wall of the Pioneer
-    Home.]
-
-It was in February, 1796, that the first surveying party came to what is
-now Washington Township—the township in which the old stone house was
-located. That was less than a year after Daniel Cooper came from
-Cincinnati and laid out the town of Dayton.
-
-The surveying group was made up of Aaron Nutt, Benjamin Robbins, and
-Benjamin Archer. They pitched camp near what is now Centerville, but
-were quick to move a couple of miles northeast when they discovered
-signs of recent occupation of the site by Indians.
-
-Although there were a few Indian raids in Montgomery County during its
-earliest years, most of the Indians were peaceful except when drunk. The
-major losses caused by them were through thievery of horses and other
-livestock.
-
-The three surveyors drew cuts for choice of lands and then returned to
-Kentucky. The next spring Robbins returned with his wife and children.
-They built a log cabin on a half-section of land west of the site of
-Centerville. Nutt and Archer returned two years later.
-
-    [Illustration: Sewing and Spinning]
-
-One of the best-known early settlers was Dr. John Hole, who moved to the
-area from New Jersey in 1797. He located three and a half miles
-northwest of the site of Centerville on a stream which he named Silver
-Creek. Because of his prominence in the community, the stream became
-known as Hole’s Creek, and so it is named today. Dr. Hole erected a log
-cabin with a clapboard roof and a “cat and clay chimney,” made of sticks
-and clay. He later put up two sawmills. Being the only doctor in that
-part of the Valley, Dr. Hole served patients ten and twelve miles away.
-
-    [Illustration: Raising a Cabin]
-
-Washington Township was organized in 1803, the same year Ohio became a
-state and two years before Dayton was incorporated. It was named in
-honor of General George Washington, for many of the early settlers were
-formerly Revolutionary War soldiers. In the first election in that year
-the township—then considerably larger than it is now—cast 95 votes for
-governor.
-
-The first church meeting in the area was held in 1799, but the first
-church building was not occupied until four years later. It was called
-the Sugar Creek Baptist Church. One of its early members and workers was
-Abner Garrard, owner of the land on which the stone house later was
-built. The first minister of the church was the Rev. Charles McDaniel,
-who sometimes rode 30 miles to preach at some remote settlement. He was
-paid only what his congregations desired to give him.
-
-Because there were no traveled roads through the forests, trails leading
-to the church were blazed on trees extending as far as five miles.
-
-There were three small settlements in the township in those early days:
-Centerville, near the center of the township; Woodburn to the northwest,
-and Stringtown to the southeast.
-
-No one was very rich or very poor in those days, and everyone worked. Of
-all living creatures, wrote Benjamin Franklin, quoting an old Negro
-saying, only the hog doesn’t work: “He eat, he drink, he walk about, he
-go to sleep when he please, he live like a gentleman.”
-
-    [Illustration: Schoolhouse]
-
-It was true. The hogs roamed the forests at will, fattening on nuts, but
-the horses and oxen and humans worked!
-
-There was grain to be planted, but there were none except hand-wrought
-plows, made from jack-oak sticks shaped and sharpened as best they could
-be and more than often drawn by a team of slow-moving oxen broken to the
-yoke. A few years later this primitive plow was improved by being tipped
-with an iron point. The axe was often used to break the ground for
-planting, and seed was dropped in by hand. There were no barns, so the
-newly cut unthreshed grain was stacked in the fields. It was threshed
-with flails or tramped out under animals’ hooves. Corn was gathered,
-husked, and shelled by hand, and potatoes were dug with a sturdy pointed
-stick.
-
-The tilled land was used as much as possible. It was not unusual for a
-flax patch to be sowed in March, harvested in June, and then planted
-with potatoes.
-
-Life in the early 1800’s was not all work, however, and sometimes
-pleasure was combined with the chores that had to be done.
-
-Erecting a cabin called for a log rolling or house raising party. The
-men of the community assembled and then divided into small groups: one
-group to fell the trees, another to drive the horses and drag the logs
-to the site, another to shape the logs, another to saddle and notch the
-corner logs and put them in place, and another to chink the cracks
-between the logs. Thus, a cabin usually was erected in a single day, and
-the work was accompanied by much merriment, usually ending with a party
-in the new house that night.
-
-Husking bees also enabled the young people to combine work with
-pleasure. The work was accompanied by songs and stories, and occasional
-squeals of laughter when one of the boys husked a red ear of corn, for
-that entitled him to kiss the nearest girl. In the evening, supper was
-served and it was followed by a dance and perhaps an opportunity for
-couples to walk home by moonlight.
-
-Bees or “frolics” also were held for reaping, sewing, quilting,
-flax-scutching, and many other occasions.
-
-There also was the more enjoyable work of making cider or maple sugar,
-and the excitement of smoking a bee tree to obtain the honey inside.
-
-Sleighing was a popular pastime in the winter. The young people bundled
-themselves in warm clothing, placed bags of hot sand at their feet,
-pulled bear skin robes over their knees and then set out with many a
-laugh and song. On a crisp, clear night the sleighbells and the singing
-could be heard from several miles distant.
-
-The biggest social events of the day were the weddings. Often they
-occurred at noon, to be followed by an afternoon of merry-making, a big
-supper for the whole wedding party, and a dance in the evening. The most
-popular dances were jigs, four-handed reels, double shuffles, and
-scamper-downs.
-
-The parents often helped their children start married life by giving
-them a cow, ewe, or sow, a saddle, spinning wheel, kitchen utensils, or
-a feather bed.
-
-    [Illustration: Plowing with a yoke of oxen]
-
-    [Illustration: Dancing]
-
-A bride with an embroidered muslin gown for the wedding was considered
-fortunate, indeed. Usually the women of the day wore clothing made of
-“linsey.” This was made of linen and wool, often in plaids and stripes.
-The men wore buckskin breeches, coonskin caps, and crude leather shoes,
-boots, or moccasins. In summer they sometimes went barefoot, except when
-they went into the forests. Men, women, boys and girls often wore a
-loose outer jacket called a “wamus.”
-
-Much of the cloth for clothing was made from flax or wool grown by the
-settlers. Most of the housewives had spinning wheels, but only a few had
-looms, for they were expensive and skill was required to operate them.
-The weaving would be done for a fee by those who owned looms. Walnut
-hulls were crushed and used for dye. Buttons were often made of thread,
-and needles and pins were scarce and expensive.
-
-The first store in Washington Township was established by Aaron Nutt,
-Sr., in what is now Centerville. He took a flatboat load of produce to
-Baltimore, sold it, and invested the money in a horse, a cart, and a
-load of drygoods, which he brought overland to Ohio.
-
-Cash was scarce and much of the trading was on a barter basis. To buy
-items such as tea, coffee, leather, lead, powder, and iron, required
-either money or certain items which were considered of cash value—linen
-cloth, feathers, beeswax, and deerskins.
-
-Here are some examples of prices charged in 1815: linsey $1 per yard;
-cambric $2.25 per yard; darning needles 6¼c each; lead pencils 31c;
-nutmegs 18c each; pewter dish $2.25; tea $2.50 per pound; 8-penny nails
-21c per pound; calico 87½c per yard; salt $13 per 100 pounds; flour
-$1.50 per barrel; wheat 25c per bushel; oats 10c per bushel.
-
-Because of the high prices of coffee and tea, many housewives served
-“flour chocolate,” a beverage made from corn, wheat and rye, or tea made
-from spices, sassafras or sage. The housewife had to pulverize her own
-spices, powder the salt, roast and grind the coffee, and make her own
-yeast and soap.
-
-Although some of the non-essentials were high in price, no one lacked
-for food. Nearly every household had at least one cow, some chickens,
-and some pigs. In 1810, records show that beef could be bought for 3c a
-pound and pork for 3½c. Chickens were worth 75c a dozen and potatoes 25c
-a bushel.
-
-Wild turkeys, pheasants, rabbits, squirrels, ducks, geese, and deer
-abounded in the forests. There was plenty of corn for hoe cakes, hominy
-and mush; beans; blackberries; grapes; nuts; honey; and maple sap for
-sugar.
-
-    [Illustration: Pioneer home and yard]
-
-For breakfast the man of the house might find on his table ham, eggs,
-corn pone and fried potatoes, in addition to the standard dish, mush and
-milk. For a variation, or if meats were not handy, hominy and mush might
-be cooked in sweetened water with bear oil or grease from fried meat
-added. For supper he might have wild turkey, smoked sausage or venison,
-cheese, peaches or pears, and vegetables. Once a week in most households
-the supper consisted of “pot luck,” made of meat and various vegetables,
-cooked together in one big pot.
-
-In almost every house there was a store of cider, brandy, rum or
-whiskey, but the men seldom overindulged except at weddings and
-funerals. It was not uncommon at such affairs for an argument to ensue
-and end in a fist fight.
-
-Schools followed the establishment of churches in the township. The
-school building was a log cabin with a fireplace at one end, and it
-often was erected in a single day. Desks were made of puncheons and
-seats of flattened saplings. The children usually wrote with pens made
-of goose quills, for pencils were too scarce and too expensive. Ink was
-made from maple bark and copperas.
-
-The school curriculum was confined to the “three R’s”: reading, ’riting,
-and ’rithmetic, and no high standards were required of the teachers.
-More often than not, the teacher was selected because of his or her
-physical inability to do other work rather than an ability to teach.
-Each patron paid his proportionate share of the cost of operating the
-school, even to the point of boarding the teacher for a certain length
-of time. The unfortunate teacher, like the pauper, was looked upon as a
-person merely to be tolerated. All that was expected of the pupils was
-the ability to write legibly, to read the Bible or an almanac, and to
-compute the value of a load of produce.
-
-Mail deliveries in the rural areas were unknown, but a post office was
-established in Dayton in 1804, and by 1810 mail was being brought from
-Cincinnati by horseback once a week.
-
-The township people seldom had an opportunity to see a newspaper, and it
-was a treat, indeed, when a copy of “The Ohio Watchman,” a 12- x 20-inch
-paper printed in Dayton, fell into their hands. Often the paper would be
-passed along from home to home many weeks after its date of printing.
-
-In these crude surroundings our forefathers lived. They built their
-cabins amid mud, stumps, poison ivy, mosquitoes, rattlesnakes, wolves,
-and wildcats.
-
-It was in this environment that babies were born and grew to healthy
-adulthood, although they entered this world without benefit of sanitary
-facilities and hospitals, and often even without the presence of a
-doctor or midwife.
-
-To imagine that wilderness civilization—without telephones, electricity,
-bathrooms, furnaces, automobiles, trains, airplanes, radio, and
-television—is difficult. But it is even more difficult to comprehend
-that these improvements date back only a few short years to the
-lifetimes of our own grandparents.
-
-But amid the physical changes, one thing has not changed: the spirit
-that conquered the wilderness. Thanks to that spirit, even greater
-advancements, no doubt, are ahead.
-
-And through those years to come, the Pioneer Home in Carillon Park will
-remain as a symbol of hardships overcome, of progress through work, of
-the strength of character that has built our America.

-_From the Western Spy._
-EMIGRATION.
-
-As this subject seems at present to occupy much of the public mind on
-both sides of the mountains, and has given rise to some
-misrepresentation there, I send you the results of some of my
-observations, with a hope that by means of your paper, they may find
-their way into some of the eastern prints.
-
-Before bringing my family to this country, I came here and explored
-it.—I came noddle filled with ideas of roasted pigs running about ready
-at every one’s call, of pumpions growing wild, of orchards of best fruit
-in the woods, and that every acre was sure to produce at least 100
-bushels of corn; while on the other hand, I thought the people a of half
-savages, and in fact a _nation of drunkards_. But I found on
-examination, that my tavern bills were actually higher than at the
-eastward, that property was not to be acquired without industry and good
-management, here as well as there; that though the land was rich it
-required to be cleared, fenced, and tilled, before a crop could be
-expected, and that though a few acres might be found, producing 100
-bushels, yet 75 was considered great, and in fact 40 to 50, a tolerable
-yield.
-
-I found too that any industrious and prudent man might get rich, that by
-working a little, a man might live, and a shifty fellow not working at
-all, might stay and keep drunk half his time, which you know to some in
-the ‘land of steady habits,’ affords the greatest imaginable felicity. A
-man might for one days work in the fall, get two bushels of corn, and
-often more, or one of wheat, or from 5 to 10 & 15 pounds or more of
-bacon or other wholesome meat, and a little work will feed a family at
-that rate. But I found also that two many of those who come here, bring
-with them the same ideas I brought, and are of course disappointed;—that
-too many of them were instigated to remove to this country by reasons no
-way connected with building churches. The disappointed who have not
-sufficient fortitude, sink down in despair, having spent their little
-all to get here, and betake themselves to trifling in idleness and other
-bad practices. Many came here to get rid of so much hard work and pursue
-their determination so that they do no work, or very little and thus
-between the weak and the wicked we may easily convince how a nation of
-drunkards may be formed, and happy if no worse from such materials.
-
-But one fact more I will venture to assert—that the same work will
-produce the means of subsistence for more people here then in New
-England, of which the following is a proof:—I hired men to till about
-five acres of land in corn, the whole expense of plowing, planting,
-hoeing, harvesting and board, did not exceed $15, and I had considerably
-more than 200 bushels, which were worth at the lowest calculations $50
-when it was dry and cribbed, or $40 at the heap. I let 12 acres to a
-very lazy kind of fellow, who from the best observation I could make,
-did not expend more than twenty days work on it of this own. His wife
-did assist him in planting it, sometimes set up the corn after the
-plough, and pulled a few of the large weeds out of the hills; but there
-never was a hoe in the field after the planting. This brought in to
-harvest, which is....

-1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
-trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
-providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in
-accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the
-production, promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm
-electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses,
-including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of
-the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this
-or any Project Gutenberg-tm work, (b) alteration, modification, or
-additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any
-Defect you cause.
-
-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
-Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
-www.gutenberg.org
-
-Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation
-
-The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit
-501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
-state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
-Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
-number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by
-U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
-
-The Foundation's business office is located at 809 North 1500 West,
-Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up
-to date contact information can be found at the Foundation's website
-and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact
-
-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without
-widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This website includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

-</div>
-<p>The Pioneer Home, which serves as an Information Center for
-Carillon Park, is believed to have been built about 1815.</p>
-<p>It was originally located in Washington Township about five miles
-southwest of Centerville on Social Row Road, about halfway between
-Sheehan Road and Yankee Street. In the spring of 1953 it was torn down
-and moved to Carillon Park, where it was rebuilt, using the original
-stones and timbers.</p>
-<p>Abstract records in the Court House show that the 20-acre plot on
-which this house was originally located was sold by Abner and Patsy
-Garrard on February 14, 1815, to William Morris and his wife. The
-purchase price was $140. Later records show that the Morrises sold
-the property on September 18, 1838, for $753. The difference in the
-purchase and selling prices was the largest in over 50 years and indicates
-that the house was built sometime during that 23-year period.</p>
-<p>Since 1858 the property has had a number of owners, including an
-Elizabeth Morris, who bought it in 1856 and lived there for 30 years.
-Whether she was related to the builder of the house is not known. In
-1896 the property was purchased by Mr. and Mrs. Hugh E. Brunk, who
-lived in the house until 1907.</p>
-<p>Most houses built in the early 1800&rsquo;s were made of logs and chinked
-with plaster made of lime and sand. This house was built of a good
-<span class="pb" id="Page_2">2</span>
-quality white limestone, the reason probably being that stone was easier
-to obtain than logs in this particular location, because a stone quarry was
-located scarcely a quarter-mile away. The old quarry, near Sheehan
-Road, long since has been abandoned.</p>
-<div class="img">
-<img src="images/p02.jpg" id="ncfig3" alt="Pioneers and Conestoga wagon" width="800" height="419" />
-</div>
-<p>The stone walls of the house were about 18 inches thick and the
-inside surface of these walls was plastered. The whole interior of
-the downstairs rooms, except the floors, was whitewashed. The interior
-dimensions of the lower floor are 15 by 23 feet.</p>
-<p>Floor joists, rafters, and shingle laths were all hand hewn from white
-oak. Examination of the floor joists disclosed that four of them had been
-split from the same log. All wooden trim and the door and window
-frames were of black walnut. In the period when this house was built,
-the use of this kind of wood was not at all uncommon even in barns.</p>
-<p>The floor boards were about one and a quarter inches thick and were
-of beech and walnut. There is no ridge pole to support the roof, but
-the rafters are notched and put together with wooden pins. The split
-shingles were of oak. In the work of reconstruction, all of the stone used
-is the original stone except the floor, which formerly was of wood. The
-ceiling beams, attic flooring, rafters and most of the shingle laths are
-originals. The remaining woodwork which was in bad condition has
-been replaced but the original details of design and construction have
-been carefully reproduced.</p>
-<p>The fireplace chimneys are a part of the end walls. This style
-of architecture shows the Moravian influence, the Moravians being a
-religious sect who came to Ohio mostly from North Carolina, Pennsylvania,
-and Georgia.</p>
-<p>Wooden partitions at one time divided the lower floor into three
-rooms: two tiny bedrooms and the living room. Because they made the
-rooms so small, these partitions were not included when the house was
-rebuilt.</p>
-<p>Each room had its own fireplace. The large one was used for cooking
-and for heating the combination kitchen and living room. The two
-smaller fireplaces were in the bedrooms. They were connected to a
-single chimney and have been omitted.</p>
-<p>The large fireplace was the center of activity for the household. Every
-morning a large log would be brought in and placed on the embers left
-from the fire of the night before. This log would be big enough to last
-<span class="pb" id="Page_3">3</span>
-the day, and smaller sticks and logs would be put in front of it. If no
-coals survived from the night before, the fire had to be lighted by sparks
-from flint and steel, which was always a tedious task, or coals might
-be borrowed from a neighbor. This was seldom necessary because most
-families took care not to let their fires go out.</p>
-<p>Hinged to the side of the big fireplace was a crane with pot hooks
-or &ldquo;trammels&rdquo; on which cooking utensils were hung. Its deep pit provided
-storage for wood ashes so necessary to the pioneer for the making
-of lye used in making soap and hominy. Nearby was the inevitable
-bellows&mdash;known in those days as &ldquo;belluses&rdquo;&mdash;and the hearth brush.</p>
-<p>Cooking over an open fireplace was difficult, but many housewives
-became very proficient at it, and meat cooked in this way had a flavor
-unexcelled by any mode of cooking today.</p>
-<p>The big fireplace also had its disadvantages. With the first frost, flies
-were likely to swarm down through the chimney and into the room.</p>
-<p>On one side of the fireplace was a built-in cupboard where cooking
-utensils and dishes were kept. The plates and bowls usually were made
-of wood or pewter, and the knives, forks and spoons of horn. Also in
-the cupboard might be found a bread basket, dough trough, candle-stick
-molds, a bootjack, and a box of sand used to polish the pewter ware.</p>
-<p>On the other side of the fireplace was a steep staircase leading to the
-attic and typical of those found in small houses of the period.</p>
-<p>Nearby, perhaps over the fireplace, were suspended a flint-lock musket
-and powder horn. Hanging from the ceiling of the room might be a
-warming pan, raccoon skins, fox pelts, slabs of bacon and venison, chains
-of sausages, and strings of dried apples and red peppers. And on a convenient
-shelf was the family Bible, the leather cover of which was used&mdash;without
-any disrespect intended&mdash;by the man of the house for stropping
-his straight-edge razor.</p>
-<div class="img">
-<img src="images/p02b.jpg" id="ncfig4" alt="Flatboat on river" width="800" height="418" />
-</div>
-<p>The attic of the house was floored with rough boards but was otherwise
-unfurnished. It had been used as a bedroom, and imagination can
-conjure the image of a small, wide-eyed boy lying on a pallet of rustling
-corn husks, listening to the wind rattle the shingles and dodging an
-occasional drop of rain which seeped through. Perhaps it wasn&rsquo;t always
-<span class="pb" id="Page_4">4</span>
-imagination when he heard the howl of wolves or the yell of a passing
-Indian. A portion of the attic floor has been cut away so visitors may
-see the original rafters and shingle strips.</p>
-<div class="img" id="fig1">

-<p class="pcap">Fireplace</p>
-</div>
-<p>About the time the Pioneer Home was built, carpenter work was
-relatively expensive. Dormer windows containing 12 panes of glass cost
-$12; door frames were 8c a linear foot and window frames 16c. Panel
-doors were priced at 75c per panel. This partially explains why the
-windows were few and small. Another reason, of course, was the difficulty
-of heating the house adequately in the winter. It was also very
-difficult to transport large panes of glass over rough roads from the East.</p>
-<p>The house at one time had a partial basement with dirt floor, but it
-had no porches. At a later date a wooden lean-to was added at the rear
-but it has long since disappeared. This addition housed a bedroom and
-kitchen.</p>
-<p>In the yard behind the house there was probably an outdoor fire pit
-with a large iron kettle suspended above it. This kettle was used for
-making soap, lard, and apple butter, and on wash days for boiling
-clothes. There was also a smokehouse and tobacco-drying and stripping
-shed.</p>
-<p>Also just outside the back door was a rough wooden water bench on
-which were a wooden basin, a gourd dipper, and soap made of grease,
-ashes and sand.</p>
-<p>As was the practice in those days, the house was located on the bank
-of a small stream, a tributary of Hole&rsquo;s Creek. Near this stream, a well
-was dug and a well-sweep erected for lowering the oaken bucket into
-the well.</p>
-<p>This Pioneer Home was placed in Carillon Park to show the people
-<span class="pb" id="Page_5">5</span>
-of this generation how their forefathers lived. The purpose of this book,
-too, is to describe the hardships overcome by the pioneers who braved
-the unknown wilderness to help carve the destiny that we, as Americans,
-enjoy today.</p>
-<p>Of William Morris and his wife, little is known. But much is known
-of the era in which they lived.</p>
-<p>Most of the early pioneers who came to the Miami Valley trekked
-westward over the rough mountain trails to Pittsburgh and then sailed
-down the Ohio River. A few more hardy souls came overland all the way.</p>
-<p>These settlers were attracted to the Valley by descriptions of this
-&ldquo;fabulous&rdquo; land where the earth needed &ldquo;only to be tickled with the hoe
-to laugh with the harvest.&rdquo;</p>
-<p>The trip westward was both expensive and uncomfortable. Household
-goods and supplies were loaded in &ldquo;road wagons&rdquo; and the wife and children
-clambered on top of the load. The man of the family and the
-larger boys usually rode horses.</p>
-<p>As many as six horses were used to pull the lumbering wagons over
-the steep mountain trails, and often it was necessary to stop during the
-ascent to rest the horses. At these times large rocks were placed behind
-the wheels to keep the wagons from rolling backward. The deep mud
-of the valleys was almost as difficult to overcome.</p>
-<p>It was a relief indeed when the Alleghenies had been crossed and the
-family safely transferred to the &ldquo;broad horn&rdquo; river boat. The journey
-downstream was more serene, but was long and tiring. However, there
-was always something new to be seen around the next bend of the river
-and always stories to listen to ... stories of singing fish, of wild Indian
-raids, and of the fine town of Losantiville, the early name for Cincinnati.
-The entire journey from Pittsburgh to Cincinnati required about six
-weeks. The trip from Cincinnati to Dayton was usually made by wagon,
-although some boats were &ldquo;poled&rdquo; up the Miami River at a speed of
-about eight miles a day.</p>
-<div class="img" id="fig2">
-<img src="images/p03a.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="122" />
-<p class="pcap">Essential to the pioneer of the early American frontier was a
-dependable rifle to provide food and protection for his family.
-This &ldquo;Kentucky Rifle,&rdquo; a muzzle loader which used percussion caps,
-was fashioned about 1830 by a Pennsylvania gunsmith for Jacob
-Deeds, great-grandfather of Colonel E. A. Deeds whose grandfather,
-Andrew Deeds, brought it to Ohio in 1850. This rifle is a later
-version of the flintlock rifle which made possible settlement of the
-dark, lonely and often dangerous forests that once covered most
-of Ohio. It now is mounted on the wall of the Pioneer Home.</p>
-</div>
-<div class="pb" id="Page_6">6</div>
-<p>It was in February, 1796, that the first surveying party came to what
-is now Washington Township&mdash;the township in which the old stone
-house was located. That was less than a year after Daniel Cooper came
-from Cincinnati and laid out the town of Dayton.</p>
-<p>The surveying group was made up of Aaron Nutt, Benjamin Robbins,
-and Benjamin Archer. They pitched camp near what is now Centerville,
-but were quick to move a couple of miles northeast when they discovered
-signs of recent occupation of the site by Indians.</p>
-<p>Although there were a few Indian raids in Montgomery County during
-its earliest years, most of the Indians were peaceful except when
-drunk. The major losses caused by them were through thievery of
-horses and other livestock.</p>
-<p>The three surveyors drew cuts for choice of lands and then returned
-to Kentucky. The next spring Robbins returned with his wife and children.
-They built a log cabin on a half-section of land west of the site
-of Centerville. Nutt and Archer returned two years later.</p>
-<div class="img">

-</div>
-<p>One of the best-known early settlers was Dr. John Hole, who moved
-to the area from New Jersey in 1797. He located three and a half miles
-northwest of the site of Centerville on a stream which he named Silver
-Creek. Because of his prominence in the community, the stream became
-<span class="pb" id="Page_7">7</span>
-known as Hole&rsquo;s Creek, and so it is named today. Dr. Hole erected a
-log cabin with a clapboard roof and a &ldquo;cat and clay chimney,&rdquo; made
-of sticks and clay. He later put up two sawmills. Being the only doctor
-in that part of the Valley, Dr. Hole served patients ten and twelve miles
-away.</p>
-<div class="img">

-</div>
-<p>Washington Township was organized in 1803, the same year Ohio
-became a state and two years before Dayton was incorporated. It was
-named in honor of General George Washington, for many of the early
-settlers were formerly Revolutionary War soldiers. In the first election
-in that year the township&mdash;then considerably larger than it is now&mdash;cast
-95 votes for governor.</p>
-<p>The first church meeting in the area was held in 1799, but the first
-church building was not occupied until four years later. It was called
-the Sugar Creek Baptist Church. One of its early members and workers
-was Abner Garrard, owner of the land on which the stone house later was
-built. The first minister of the church was the Rev. Charles McDaniel,
-who sometimes rode 30 miles to preach at some remote settlement. He
-was paid only what his congregations desired to give him.</p>
-<p>Because there were no traveled roads through the forests, trails leading
-to the church were blazed on trees extending as far as five miles.</p>
-<p>There were three small settlements in the township in those early days:
-Centerville, near the center of the township; Woodburn to the northwest,
-and Stringtown to the southeast.</p>
-<p>No one was very rich or very poor in those days, and everyone worked.
-Of all living creatures, wrote Benjamin Franklin, quoting an old Negro
-<span class="pb" id="Page_8">8</span>
-saying, only the hog doesn&rsquo;t work: &ldquo;He eat, he drink, he walk about, he
-go to sleep when he please, he live like a gentleman.&rdquo;</p>
-<div class="img">
-<img src="images/p05.jpg" id="ncfig7" alt="Schoolhouse" width="800" height="841" />
-</div>
-<p>It was true. The hogs roamed the forests at will, fattening on nuts,
-but the horses and oxen and humans worked!</p>
-<p>There was grain to be planted, but there were none except hand-wrought
-plows, made from jack-oak sticks shaped and sharpened as
-best they could be and more than often drawn by a team of slow-moving
-oxen broken to the yoke. A few years later this primitive plow
-was improved by being tipped with an iron point. The axe was often
-used to break the ground for planting, and seed was dropped in by hand.
-There were no barns, so the newly cut unthreshed grain was stacked
-in the fields. It was threshed with flails or tramped out under animals&rsquo;
-hooves. Corn was gathered, husked, and shelled by hand, and potatoes
-were dug with a sturdy pointed stick.</p>
-<p>The tilled land was used as much as possible. It was not unusual for
-a flax patch to be sowed in March, harvested in June, and then planted
-with potatoes.</p>
-<p>Life in the early 1800&rsquo;s was not all work, however, and sometimes
-pleasure was combined with the chores that had to be done.</p>
-<div class="pb" id="Page_9">9</div>
-<p>Erecting a cabin called for a log rolling or house raising party. The
-men of the community assembled and then divided into small groups:
-one group to fell the trees, another to drive the horses and drag the
-logs to the site, another to shape the logs, another to saddle and notch
-the corner logs and put them in place, and another to chink the cracks
-between the logs. Thus, a cabin usually was erected in a single day,
-and the work was accompanied by much merriment, usually ending
-with a party in the new house that night.</p>
-<p>Husking bees also enabled the young people to combine work with
-pleasure. The work was accompanied by songs and stories, and occasional
-squeals of laughter when one of the boys husked a red ear of
-corn, for that entitled him to kiss the nearest girl. In the evening, supper
-was served and it was followed by a dance and perhaps an opportunity
-for couples to walk home by moonlight.</p>
-<p>Bees or &ldquo;frolics&rdquo; also were held for reaping, sewing, quilting, flax-scutching,
-and many other occasions.</p>
-<p>There also was the more enjoyable work of making cider or maple
-sugar, and the excitement of smoking a bee tree to obtain the honey
-inside.</p>
-<p>Sleighing was a popular pastime in the winter. The young people
-bundled themselves in warm clothing, placed bags of hot sand at their
-feet, pulled bear skin robes over their knees and then set out with many
-a laugh and song. On a crisp, clear night the sleighbells and the singing
-could be heard from several miles distant.</p>
-<p>The biggest social events of the day were the weddings. Often they
-occurred at noon, to be followed by an afternoon of merry-making, a
-big supper for the whole wedding party, and a dance in the evening.
-The most popular dances were jigs, four-handed reels, double shuffles,
-and scamper-downs.</p>
-<p>The parents often helped their children start married life by giving
-them a cow, ewe, or sow, a saddle, spinning wheel, kitchen utensils, or
-a feather bed.</p>

-</div>
-<p>A bride with an embroidered muslin gown for the wedding was considered
-fortunate, indeed. Usually the women of the day wore clothing
-made of &ldquo;linsey.&rdquo; This was made of linen and wool, often in plaids and
-stripes. The men wore buckskin breeches, coonskin caps, and crude
-leather shoes, boots, or moccasins. In summer they sometimes went barefoot,
-except when they went into the forests. Men, women, boys and
-girls often wore a loose outer jacket called a &ldquo;wamus.&rdquo;</p>
-<p>Much of the cloth for clothing was made from flax or wool grown by
-the settlers. Most of the housewives had spinning wheels, but only a few
-had looms, for they were expensive and skill was required to operate
-them. The weaving would be done for a fee by those who owned looms.
-Walnut hulls were crushed and used for dye. Buttons were often made of
-thread, and needles and pins were scarce and expensive.</p>
-<p>The first store in Washington Township was established by Aaron
-Nutt, Sr., in what is now Centerville. He took a flatboat load of produce
-to Baltimore, sold it, and invested the money in a horse, a cart, and a
-load of drygoods, which he brought overland to Ohio.</p>
-<p>Cash was scarce and much of the trading was on a barter basis. To
-buy items such as tea, coffee, leather, lead, powder, and iron, required
-either money or certain items which were considered of cash value&mdash;linen
-cloth, feathers, beeswax, and deerskins.</p>
-<p>Here are some examples of prices charged in 1815: linsey $1 per
-yard; cambric $2.25 per yard; darning needles 6&frac14;c each; lead pencils
-31c; nutmegs 18c each; pewter dish $2.25; tea $2.50 per pound; 8-penny
-<span class="pb" id="Page_11">11</span>
-nails 21c per pound; calico 87&frac12;c per yard; salt $13 per 100 pounds;
-flour $1.50 per barrel; wheat 25c per bushel; oats 10c per bushel.</p>
-<p>Because of the high prices of coffee and tea, many housewives served
-&ldquo;flour chocolate,&rdquo; a beverage made from corn, wheat and rye, or tea
-made from spices, sassafras or sage. The housewife had to pulverize
-her own spices, powder the salt, roast and grind the coffee, and make
-her own yeast and soap.</p>
-<p>Although some of the non-essentials were high in price, no one lacked
-for food. Nearly every household had at least one cow, some chickens,
-and some pigs. In 1810, records show that beef could be bought for 3c
-a pound and pork for 3&frac12;c. Chickens were worth 75c a dozen and
-potatoes 25c a bushel.</p>
-<p>Wild turkeys, pheasants, rabbits, squirrels, ducks, geese, and deer
-abounded in the forests. There was plenty of corn for hoe cakes, hominy
-and mush; beans; blackberries; grapes; nuts; honey; and maple sap
-for sugar.</p>
-<div class="img">
-<img src="images/p06a.jpg" id="ncfig10" alt="Pioneer home and yard" width="800" height="592" />
-</div>
-<p>For breakfast the man of the house might find on his table ham, eggs,
-corn pone and fried potatoes, in addition to the standard dish, mush
-and milk. For a variation, or if meats were not handy, hominy and
-mush might be cooked in sweetened water with bear oil or grease from
-fried meat added. For supper he might have wild turkey, smoked
-sausage or venison, cheese, peaches or pears, and vegetables. Once a
-<span class="pb" id="Page_12">12</span>
-week in most households the supper consisted of &ldquo;pot luck,&rdquo; made of
-meat and various vegetables, cooked together in one big pot.</p>
-<p>In almost every house there was a store of cider, brandy, rum or
-whiskey, but the men seldom overindulged except at weddings and
-funerals. It was not uncommon at such affairs for an argument to ensue
-and end in a fist fight.</p>
-<p>Schools followed the establishment of churches in the township. The
-school building was a log cabin with a fireplace at one end, and it often
-was erected in a single day. Desks were made of puncheons and seats
-of flattened saplings. The children usually wrote with pens made of
-goose quills, for pencils were too scarce and too expensive. Ink was made
-from maple bark and copperas.</p>
-<p>The school curriculum was confined to the &ldquo;three R&rsquo;s&rdquo;: reading, &rsquo;riting,
-and &rsquo;rithmetic, and no high standards were required of the teachers.
-More often than not, the teacher was selected because of his or her
-physical inability to do other work rather than an ability to teach. Each
-patron paid his proportionate share of the cost of operating the school,
-even to the point of boarding the teacher for a certain length of time.
-The unfortunate teacher, like the pauper, was looked upon as a person
-merely to be tolerated. All that was expected of the pupils was the ability
-to write legibly, to read the Bible or an almanac, and to compute the
-value of a load of produce.</p>
-<p>Mail deliveries in the rural areas were unknown, but a post office
-was established in Dayton in 1804, and by 1810 mail was being brought
-from Cincinnati by horseback once a week.</p>
-<p>The township people seldom had an opportunity to see a newspaper,
-and it was a treat, indeed, when a copy of &ldquo;The Ohio Watchman,&rdquo; a
-12- x 20-inch paper printed in Dayton, fell into their hands. Often the
-paper would be passed along from home to home many weeks after
-its date of printing.</p>
-<p>In these crude surroundings our forefathers lived. They built their
-cabins amid mud, stumps, poison ivy, mosquitoes, rattlesnakes, wolves,
-and wildcats.</p>
-<p>It was in this environment that babies were born and grew to healthy
-adulthood, although they entered this world without benefit of sanitary
-facilities and hospitals, and often even without the presence of a doctor
-or midwife.</p>
-<p>To imagine that wilderness civilization&mdash;without telephones, electricity,
-bathrooms, furnaces, automobiles, trains, airplanes, radio, and
-television&mdash;is difficult. But it is even more difficult to comprehend that
-these improvements date back only a few short years to the lifetimes
-of our own grandparents.</p>
-<p>But amid the physical changes, one thing has not changed: the spirit
-that conquered the wilderness. Thanks to that spirit, even greater
-advancements, no doubt, are ahead.</p>
-<p>And through those years to come, the Pioneer Home in Carillon
-Park will remain as a symbol of hardships overcome, of progress through
-work, of the strength of character that has built our America.</p>

-<br />EMIGRATION.</h3>
-<p>As this subject seems at present to
-occupy much of the public mind on
-both sides of the mountains, and has
-given rise to some misrepresentation
-there, I send you the results of some
-of my observations, with a hope that
-by means of your paper, they may
-find their way into some of the eastern
-prints.</p>
-<p>Before bringing my family to this
-country, I came here and explored it.&mdash;I
-came noddle filled with ideas of
-roasted pigs running about ready
-at every one&rsquo;s call, of pumpions
-growing wild, of orchards of best
-fruit in the woods, and that every
-acre was sure to produce at least 100
-bushels of corn; while on the other
-hand, I thought the people a of
-half savages, and in fact a <i>nation of
-drunkards</i>. But I found on examination,
-that my tavern bills were actually
-higher than at the eastward,
-that property was not to be acquired
-without industry and good management,
-here as well as there; that
-though the land was rich it required
-to be cleared, fenced, and tilled, before
-a crop could be expected, and
-that though a few acres might be
-found, producing 100 bushels, yet 75
-was considered great, and in fact 40
-to 50, a tolerable yield.</p>
-<p>I found too that any industrious
-and prudent man might get rich,
-that by working a little, a man might
-live, and a shifty fellow not working
-at all, might stay and keep drunk
-half his time, which you know to
-some in the &lsquo;land of steady habits,&rsquo;
-affords the greatest imaginable felicity.
-A man might for one days
-work in the fall, get two bushels of
-corn, and often more, or one of
-wheat, or from 5 to 10 &amp; 15 pounds or
-more of bacon or other wholesome
-meat, and a little work will feed a
-family at that rate. But I found
-also that two many of those who
-come here, bring with them the same
-ideas I brought, and are of course
-disappointed;&mdash;that too many of
-them were instigated to remove to
-this country by reasons no way connected
-with building churches. The
-disappointed who have not sufficient
-fortitude, sink down in despair, having
-spent their little all to get here,
-and betake themselves to trifling in
-idleness and other bad practices.
-Many came here to get rid of so
-much hard work and pursue their
-determination so that they do no
-work, or very little and thus between
-the weak and the wicked we may
-easily convince how a nation of
-drunkards may be formed, and
-happy if no worse from such materials.</p>
-<p>But one fact more I will venture
-to assert&mdash;that the same work will
-produce the means of subsistence for
-more people here then in New England,
-of which the following is a
-proof:&mdash;I hired men to till about
-five acres of land in corn, the whole
-expense of plowing, planting, hoeing,
-harvesting and board, did not exceed
-$15, and I had considerably more
-than 200 bushels, which were worth
-at the lowest calculations $50 when it
-was dry and cribbed, or $40 at the
-heap. I let 12 acres to a very lazy
-kind of fellow, who from the best
-observation I could make, did not expend
-more than twenty days work
-on it of this own. His wife did assist
-him in planting it, sometimes set
-up the corn after the plough, and
-pulled a few of the large weeds out
-of the hills; but there never was a
-hoe in the field after the planting.
-This brought in to harvest, which is....</p>

-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
-</div>
-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-Project Gutenberg&#8482; depends upon and cannot survive without widespread
-public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-</div>
-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state
-visit <a href="https://www.gutenberg.org/donate/">www.gutenberg.org/donate</a>.
-</div>
-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-</div>
-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

-Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To

-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg&#8482; concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg&#8482; eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-</div>

-Project Gutenberg&#8482; eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in

-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
