Excerpt from History of Clarion County, Pennsylvania: With Illustrations and Biographical Sketches of Some of Its Prominent Men and Pioneers Not many thrilling adventures are related in this narrative of the doings of the people of Clarion county, but here and there we are afforded glimpses of the sterling patriotism, the noble daring, and the lofty courage of those whom occasion afforded the Opportunity to display these virtues. The record of the settlement and development of Clarion county contains few startling incidents. Peaceful and quiet has been the history of this people, and while our fathers and brothers bear a record of loyal devotion to their country in at least two wars, no spot within the borders of our county can be pointed out with certainty as the scene of sanguinary battle. So may it be evermore. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
