Excerpt from Historical Sketches of the Discovery, Settlement, and Progress of Events in the Coos Country and Vicinity: Principally Included Between the Years 1754 and 1785 One reason for the indifference manifested towards record ing present events, is the general impression that they can have no important bearing upon What is to come, unless they are such events as greatly interest the community in present time - the result of a great battle, a revolution in a kingdom, or a destructive earthquake. But nothing is more delusive than such an impression. What would the inhabitants of the city of London now give for the year, the month, and the day, in which the first man pitched his tent on that ground? What would they give if they could know his name, his origin, whence he came, the circumstances in which he came, the object for his coming, and, withal, a minute description of the place as it then was? An octavo pamphlet of ten pages, containing Well-authenticated facts of this kind, would be worth millions sterling to the author or proprietor. And the history of our ancestors' landing at Plymouth is infinitely more important in our history than the history of the surren der of Burgoyne's army, or that of Cornwallis. And even those occurrences which do not seem to stand intimately con nected with any great results, time will often vest with peonl iar interest, in the view of posterity. How unhappy is the reflection, then, that the early settlement of our towns should be permitted to be forever lost through the apathy or indiffer ence of their inhabitants, since the time will certainly arrive when the subject will be duly appreciated, and our descend ants will reproach us for our stupidity and sloth in this respect!
