Many friends in McCormick
County will read with interest the
following from the Charlotte Ob
server telling of the work of Mr.
Boyd. He was born in Spartan
burg County, but was a resident of
Parksville for a number of years,
and on his maternal side a grand
son of the late Mr. W. R. Parks of
Parksville, and on his paternal
side a grandson of the late Rev.
George M. Boyd of the S. C. Con
ference.
The article follows:
One of the most valuable and
certainly most artistically printed
and bound studies in American
history and literature to be pre
sented in recent years is the huge
•‘Indian Treaties Presented by
Franklin,” published by the His
torical Society of Pennsylvania
and edited by a Charlotte young
man, Julian P. Boyd, of the
society’s staff.
Mr. Boyd is the son of Mrs. R. J.
Boyd, 117 Middleton drive. Not yet
36 years old, he is the youngest
man ever to have the important
assignment of editing historical
volumes of this famous society.
The book, which is receiving the
praises of literary critics, his
torians and bibliophiles through
out the country, does much to re
vise ill-grounded conceptions of
the American Indian and especially
to demonstrate the epic quality of
Indian literature. In an intro
duction that precedes Mr. Boyd’s
lengthy “notes” in which he dis
cusses “Indian Affairs in Pennsyl
vania, 1736-’62,” Carl Van Doren
discusses the manner in which
“here for once, life seems to have
made itself almost unaided into
literature.”
The treaties themselves are re
produced as they were printed by
Franklin and the typography of
the book is one of the things that
make it most attractive. It is a
monumental work and includes in
addition to the Van Doren intro
duction, Mr. Boyd’s discussion and
the treaties in facsimile, and
papers drawn by Margaret Van
Doren and showing a map of the
great Indian region as far west
ward as Lake Michigan and a
drawing of an Indian treaty in
process of being agreed upon.
There is also a beautiful aquatone
reproduction in color of a map by
Lewis Evans. Most conspicuous
about the huge book, however, is
its very large type, type that con-
forms with the size of the volume
and makes the entire work more
enjoyable.
Mr. Boyd previously edited an
other valuable historical volume,
“The Susquehannah Company Pa
pers,” which also received much
critical acclaim from historians
and critics.
In Mr. Boyd’s tracing of the his
tory of the Pennsylvania influence
in early American affairs and in
the early dealing with the Indians,
he emphasizes the recognition at
that time of the importance of
allying the Six Nations with the
British interests. His account
continues through the French and
Indian war period and discusses
imperial politics of that era.
In telling this important story,
Mr Boyd has been aided in his re
search by not only the treaties but
minutes of other conferences,
journals of persons of that day,
correspondence, papers and vari
ous documents that have been
found in private possession or that
have been collected by the Penn
sylvania society. Much of the in
formation revealed has never be
fore been published and it is for
tunate that it has been given per
manent—and such handsome—
form.
One critic, speaking of the
Mecklenburg man’s ability as a
historian and editor of historical
papers, declares that “Few are so
well fitted as the editor of ‘The
Susquehannah Papers’ to fellow
the threads of this intricate web.
and to trace the influence of in
dividuals and incidents upon the
course of American history in the
middle period of the century and
the middle section of the coun
try.”
The book is one of outstanding
value, both historically and typo
graphically, and it is interesting
to study or to glance through cas
ually. It will probably be the
forerunner of other important
historicah works to be edited by
Mr. Boyd.—LeGETTE BLYTHE.
Game At De la Howe
Tomorrow Night
De la Howe will play McCormick
Friday night on De la Howe’s
court at 7:30.
De la Howe will offer the basket |
ball fans of this section another
treat in basket ball Friday night,
February 10, when they meet their
traditional rivals in a double j
header which will decide the
championship for McCormick
County.
The De la Kowe girls’ team have
won 13 out of 16 games this year,
and should not find it too diffi
cult to win over the McCormick
sextet. The boys’ teams are both
strong and evenly matched this
year. The game should be hotly
contested and full of thrills.
De la Howe expects their usual
large attendance at these fine
games Friday night.
