Excerpt from Memoirs of the Wilkinson Family in America Bout two hundred and twenty years ago lawrance gas-q wilkinson landed upon the shores of New England. At that time America was a howling wilderness with only a few openings made by European settlers. Dense forests filled the valleys and crowned every hill top, and the wild beasts and the wilder savages were the sole occupants of this wide extended country. To leave the comforts and luxuries of the Old World and take up an abode in the New, under these circumstances required a degree of moral courage and self-denial which only a few possessed; and had not the providence of God brought to bear the sweets of social, civil and religious liberty, the now fertile and smiling fields of the United States would still have remained the uncleared hunting grounds of the Indians.
