Excerpt from History of Hanover Township: Including Sugar Notch, Ashley, and Nanticoke Boroughs, and Also a History of Wyoming Valley, in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania
The endeavor has been made to write this history in the plainest Anglo Saxon - the common, every-day speech of the people. Another endeavor has been made, viz: to leave out everything of a personal nature so far as the story could be told without mentioning names. I have come across several incidents while writing this book, where I have been sorely tempted to break over the second of these rules that I had set for myself, but I passed those incidents by and left that work for some other pen than mine.
