Benjamin Rush; Revolutionary Gadfly


Book Description

This volume covers 43 years of Benjamin Rush's moderately long, inordinately full life, which ended in 1813, shortly after he had reached 68. Most people, if they know anything about Rush, think of him principally as a physician. He is considered one of the most influential doctors in American history. The medical side of Rush's career is not, however, emphasized in this book, for his fame as a physician rests mainly on work done during the last 25 years of his life. Medicine occupied Rush's mind and time only incidentally during the American Revolution. - Preface.

Genealogy of Some Early Families in Grant and Pleasant Districts, Preston County, West Virginia, Also the Thorpe Family of Fayette County, Pennsylvania, and the Cunningham Family of Somerset County, Pennsylvania


Book Description

Grant and Pleasant Districts, in Preston County, West Virginia, were formed in 1852. The early families of Grant and Pleasant Districts, like their Maryland and Pennsylvania neighbors, were among the first to endure the rigors of mountain life. The genealogy of some of these families--Christopher, Connor, Cunningham, King, Metheny, Ryan, Street, Thorpe, Walls, Wheeler, and Wolf, those mostly of early 19th-century provenance--is the basis of this book.
