Excerpt from A Narrative History of the Harding Family: With IllustrationsThis narrative was commenced in 1899, out of love for and in the interest Of the little cousins, Allan Cope Harding and Barstow Harding Miller, so that wherever the word your appears it refers to them. As Often happens in writing such little histories, this has become more extensive than originally intended, until it includes each and every member Of our American line.In the book of Royal Descent compiled by Miss T. E. Sharpe Of England, the descent is brought down to the American branch, and the Object of this book is to continue that descent in a narrative form, to relate any interesting incidents of people or history Of places mentioned in the former book, thus bringing those characters Of bygone centuries into closer relationship with the present genera tion, and to give a little explanation and description of the ancestral pictures included in the illustrations Of this book.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
