Excerpt from Our Kith and Kin, or a History of the Harris Family: 1754-1895 This modest little volume owes its existence to what was at first a small collection of matter for the information of the writer's immediate family. Friends desired and asked for its publication. Then other matter was obtained, hence the present form and arrangement of the book. It is not given to the public as a complete record of all the descendants of the Harris Family, but the author's aim and desire were to make it complete, and to this end neither time, labor, nor expense were spared in the collection of material. It may be, doubtless will be, disappointing to some, but when it is remembered that the families are scattered abroad over this South land from Virginia to Texas, that some have been lost sight of entirely, that in some instances valuable records have been lost or destroyed, while in a few instances little or no taste or interest is felt by the present generation in such matters, it is a source of gratification that so much reliable information has been gathered and arranged in a simple, intelligible and permanent form.

This volume consists of twenty six autobiographical essays by leading historians of American education which document the enormous variety of paths taken to get into this field. A companion to earlier volumes on philosophy of education and curriculum studies, the historians in this volume reflect a wide variety of interests that underlay accomplishment in this scholarly field. They come from diverse backgrounds that have animated their scholarly careers in compelling ways. Readers in any variety of educational or historical study should learn from this volume how unplanned careers can still result in highly successful sets of accomplishments. That realization is a tribute both to the individual contributors and to the great attractiveness of educational history to committed scholars of various backgrounds and orientations.
