Mark Twain once famously said "there was but one solitary thing about the past worth remembering, and that was the fact that it is past and can't be restored."

There are now 65,000 titles available (that's an incredible 25 million pages) of material ranging from works by famous names such as Dickens, Trollope and Hardy as well as many forgotten literary gems , all of which can now be printed on demand and purchased right here on Amazon. Further information on The British Library and its digitisation programme can be found on The British Library website.

Moses was born on May 20, 1810 at Rutland, Vermont, United States. He was the son of Moses and Lucy Maria (Smith) Strong and a descendant of Elder John Strong, who emigrated to America in 1630 and settled first at Dorchester, Massachussets, later at Northampton. His father was a lawyer and land-holder.
After attending grammar school in Castleton, Vermont, Strong went first to Middlebury College (1825 - 28) and then to Dartmouth, from which he graduated in 1829. He studied law in an office and at the law school at Litchfield, Connecticut.
Strong was admitted to the bar in 1831. After practising law in Rutland, Vermont (1831 - 36), and serving as deputy surveyor general of Vermont for one or two years, Strong went to Wisconsin in 1836, opened a law and land office at Mineral Point, and in 1837 became United States surveyor, assigned to the survey west of the Mississippi River. His native ability and thorough training made him prominent in territorial affairs.
He was United States attorney for the territory of Wisconsin (1838 - 41), was instrumental in establishing the capital at Madison, and was elected a member of the territorial council to fill a vacancy in 1842 and for a full term of four years in 1843.
While he never entirely gave up the practice of law, it was for many years subordinated to his other interests. He was a member of the constitutional convention of 1846 and became a member of the Assembly in 1850, when he served as speaker, and again in 1857.
In the early fifties he became interested in the promotion of railway construction in Wisconsin, as a result, it is said, of a very long and uncomfortable coach journey from Milwaukee to Mineral Point.
Much given to thinking things out for himself, both in the practice of law and in connection with his other interests, he looked more to the rationale than to the language of opinions and dissertations, and he devoted himself assiduously to any matter that won his attention.
He died at Mineral Point, where he had lived since 1837.
Moses McCure Strong helped to organize the State Bar Association of Wisconsin, and was elected its first president. He served in that role until 1893. Besides, he was active in promoting and organizing railway and associated enterprises, gave much time to mining, lumbering, and real estate development.

He was active in establishing the Protestant Episcopal Church in Mineral Point, and at the time of his death was chancellor of the diocese of Milwaukee.
He was a man of heavy, stocky frame and strong features, quick and energetic in his movements. In disposition he was quiet, reserved, and somewhat withdrawn, but generous almost to a fault. He has been described as reasonable, fair-minded and unfailingly constant in his opinions and attachments.
He had a hasty temper which he controlled admirably, but that and his inability to surrender his convictions and adapt himself to the moods of the populace prevented him from winning public favor.
On July 31, 1832, he was married to Caroline Frances Green, daughter of Dr. Isaac Green of Windsor, Vermont, by whom he had four children.
