Excerpt from Songs of the Western Shore I could not effect under a less alluring title, more especi ally for the young. If I shall disabuse the minds of a class among the community of a mistake under which they labor, and prove that the Pioneers are not the old stiffs and fossils they are supposed to be; that they are not buried in the ruins of Forty-nine so deep as to be oblivious to the exigencies and necessities of the living present, I shall have accomplished all I anticipated and more.
