Description
Excerpt from Biographical and Chronological History of the Stewart Family of Western Pennsylvania, 1754 1912
One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh but the earth abideth forever. Eccl. 1 4.
History and biography we have known from the earliest dates. We have national history, both ancient and modern. These are usually written by persons who have gained the distinction of historians. But family history is often written by some member of the family. Family history is generally of a biographical nature, inasmuch as it is usually made up of the social and religious standing and character of individuals, and is chronological so far as the order of events is concerned.
History, of whatever kind it may be, to be interesting and useful, should be accurate both in detail and chronological order. This requirement has made this history all the more difficult to prepare.
