Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Pioneer Days: The Life-Story of Gershom and Elizabeth Day
To bring to light and keep in view the quiet heroisms that years ago laid the firm and broad foundations of our common comfort, culture, and wealth; to inspire, in an age not distinguished for reverence, a proper veneration for the humble men and women whose simple fidelity to God and love to men adorned and dignified the limited spheres to which they were assigned; to show the present generation at what cost the large advantages they enjoy have been obtained, and thus induce a grateful appreciation and sober use and increase of them; such a record as the follow ing pages contain must be well worthy of atten tion.
