Excerpt from History of Calhoun County, Michigan, Vol. 2: A Narrative Account of Its Historical Progress, Its People, and Its Principal Interests In early life his attention was turned to the study of antiquities, especially the Mound Builders, the Indians, geology, mineralogy and numismatics. He possessed a large collection of specimens along these latter lines. As he advanced in years his greatest happiness was found in nature study. The great desire of his heart was to awaken in others an appreciation of the beauties of the outdoor world, and with this end in view he worked for the organization and maintenance of the Nature Club. It became his keen delight, in company with genial friends from this club, to take long walks across Open fields, along winding streams, beneath leafy bowers and through wooded tracts. A' dinner cooked over an open fire or a luncheon spread by a natural stream of cold water was to him more inviting than the most delicious viands ever served at a conventional feast.

Excerpt from Past and Present of Calhoun County, Iowa, Vol. 2: A Record of Settlement, Organization, Progress, and Achievement Lewis \varren Moody was one of the earlier settlers of Calhoun county and there was no resident of the county who played a more important part in its material development than he. As a member of the real-estate firm of Moody Davy he opened up immense tracts of land in the county for settlement and it was in a great measure due to his in uence that the law was passed making possible the assess ment of taxes to provide funds for the drainage of the extensive swamp areas of the county. Although many people in the county at first ob ected to the drainage proposition, all were at length forced to admit that it did more than any other one thing to increase land values. Mr. Moody was likewise prominent in financial circles as president of the First National Bank of Pomeroy and he had other extensive interests, as he owned a great deal of land in various western states.

Excerpt from Past and Present of Calhoun County, Iowa, Vol. 1: A Record of Settlement, Organization, Progress and Achievement Lake Creek, the principal tributary Of the Coon River in Calhoun County, derives its name from the fact that it is the outlet Of South Twin Lake. Its upper course is along the boundary between Twin Lakes and Center townships. It next flows through the southwestern part Of Center and the northwestern part Of Logan Township and enters Lake Creek Township in section 24. From this point its course is more toward the southwest, crossing the northwest corner Of Cal houn Township and emptying into the Coon River about three miles southwest Of Lake City. Cedar Creek, the next stream Of importance, has its source in Lincoln Township, a short distance south Of the Town Of Manson. At first it follows a southeasterly direction to the southeast corner Of Lincoln Township, where it turns more to the southward and meanders through Greenfield, Cedar, Reading and Union townships until it enters Greene County. There is also a Cedar Creek which flows south and southwest across Williams Township. It has two small tributaries - one from the east and the other from the west. Purgatory Creek rises in Pocahontas County and crosses the northern boundary of Calhoun about two miles east Of the Town Of Pomeroy. After entering the county it flows by a rather sinuous course through Sherman and Center townships until it discharges its waters into Lake Creek, about a mile and a half northeast Of Rock well City.

Excerpt from John Crisis Calhoun In this book I endeavor to show not only the chief events in the political career of John C. Calhoun, but his complete identification with two opposing popular movements: - how he helped to form a broad national sentiment, the part he played in the struggle in his state against that sentiment, and his leadership of the triumphant sectional sentiment. I have shown that, as he was a popular leader, he was dominated by popular forces and that his power lay in his correct interpretation of the will of his people. To study his public life, therefore, is to study the course of public opinion in the South during a momentous period, when it formed into a great movement to resist a greater movement. I have sketched his personal characteristics and his private life, which was beautiful in its simplicity and purity, and have aimed to show that his personal ambition was always subordinated to the cause with which he was identified. It is fortunate for the credit of our history that the leadership fell to such as he. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
