EXCERPTS FROM
THE HISTORY OF DALLAS
By WILLIAM PENN RYMAN
(Editor's Note—Myw. Ryman’s History of
Dallas was written in 1885. It is important,
then, for the reader to remember that when
Mr. Ryman uses the present tense he is speak-
ing of Dallas it was in the 1880’, not as it
is in 1937.)
According to general belief, no good could come
out of the Nazareth which was Dallas.
Not only Dallas, but everything connected with
it was the subject of jeers and by-words for all the
rest of the country around, and. respectable peo-
ple were almost put to shame by letting the place of
their abode be known in some of the neighboring
towns:
“He is from Dallas” was the usual and every day
observation whenever a drunken brute or extra-
ordinary awkward and uncouth person appeared on
the streets of Wilkes-Barre.
No one would question the truth of such a re-
mark, and with probably a majority of the citizens
it was the first thought.
was so bad that everything disreputable was laid
at its doors.
FIGHTERS REDEEM THEMSELVES
Prior to the Great Civil War of 1861-65 Dallas
folk were constantly forced to defend their com-
munity. I will not attempt to say that it did not
merit a portion of its unsavory reputation, but since
then I claim that no community could do more to
redeem itself.
At the very breaking out of the war the rough
fighting element of Dallas was among the first to
join the many true and brave men who went out
from here in defense of the Union. Many of those
who were commonly known as the fighters in
Dallas were only so when drunk. When sober
they were peaceable and law abiding citizens.
When drunk they were eager to fight their weight
in wildcats.”
WAR CURED THEM
The ware cured all that. A few of them lived
to come back with the remnants, but they were
sober, serious and earnest men now. They had
seen enough of fighting and wanted to get back to
the plow. From then until now Dallas has been
as peaceful and law abiding as could be desired
by the most exacting.
In contrast to the brawls which prevailed before
the Civil War, I can speak of the old “apple cuts”
in a lighter vein. They were never sanguinary or
brutal, as far as 1 can learn. On the contrary, they
were generally occasions of great merriment.
It has been truly said that a country is poor .in-
deed when it is so poor that dried apples become a
luxury. Before the days of creap sugar and canned
fruits, dried apples and cider apple sauce, the lat-
ter made of apples boiled to a pulp in cider, were
luxuries and necessities both in many places besides
Dallas.
Apples were always abundant and cheap in Dal
las. In fact, when the forests were cleared away.
apple trees are found to spring up spontaneously
in some places, and only need a little trimming and
protection to become good orchards. This fact was
accounted for to the writer by the owner of one
such orchard as.follows: He said a good many
people had marveled at the natural growth of his
orchard, and had asked him how he could account
deal of thought. I never could be satisfied, like
always keep at them until I cipher them out. Now,
most folks, just to sit down and take things as they
come, without trying to understand them, and I
you see it’s just like this about these apple trees.
Some day or other, possibly millions of years ago,
this whole country was overflowed by the ocean.
Thats plin enough to any man who takes the
trouble to think about these things. Well, right
about over here somewhere there has been a ship-
wreck some day, and a ship load of apples has
sunk right here and these apple trees have sprung
from the seeds. You know a seed will keep a
great while and then grow.
OLD-FASHIONED APPLE CUT
The work of paring the apples and removing the
cores for an ordinary family’s winter supply of
dried apples and apple butter, before the days of
machines for that purpose, was a task of no little
magnitude. All had to be done by hand. Well,
as sometimes happened, many bushels had to be so
treated. It was a task that would have occupied
the working portion of an ordinary family several
days and thus much of the fruit would, from long
keeping, have lost its value for cider appliance by
becoming stale and partly dried. For this reason
there seemed almost a necessity for calling in help
sufficient to do the required amount of work in a
very short period of time. The apple cut solved
this difhculty successfully.
When a family had once determined on having
an applecut, it was given out to the nearest neigh-
bors, and from them it spread of its own accord
for miles around. Those who heard of it could go
if they chose to. No Special invitations were re-
quired. The apple cut was an evening festivity
and was most prevalent just after buckwheat
thrashing when the nights were cool and the roads
not very muddy. I am told that in after years it
began to be considered “bad form” to go to an
apple cut without special invitation, but apple cuts
were degenerating then, and they died soon after
when the apple parer in its present improved form
was introduced.
VERY INFORMAL AFFAIR
The old fashioned apple cut was a very informal
affair. Each guest upon arrival was expected to
take a plate and knife, select a seat and some apples
an begin work without disturbing anyone else.
The “Cut” usually lasted for an hour or two.
Twenty or thirty people could, and did usually,
accomplish a good deal in that time in the way of
work, as well as say and do a great many of the
commonplace things that countrypeople ordinarily
indulge in when thus congenially thrown together.
