Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Gen. Scott´s Guide in Mexico: A Biographical Sketch of Col. Noah E. Smith A few weeks ago there died in the village of Laconia a man with a history. It was he of whom Major Gaines spoke in a speech made in Boston in 1848: "I have been to New Hampshire. I went there on a pilgrimage. I went there to pay my respects and pour out my gratitude to a New Hampshire man, whom I met in Mexico, or rather who met me; who visited me in my dungeon; who found me ´naked and he clothed me, sick and in prison, and he ministered unto me.´ I went there to render him my gratitude for kindness done me in a far-distant laud." The man thus pictured was Noah E. Smith. To him the opportunity came to render extraordinary service to his country - services the importance of which were appreciated probably by but few of those among whom he spent the later and uneventful years of his life. For several years the writer of this was almost daily associated with this grand old gentleman. Our conversation often recurred to his experiences in Mexico, and this sketch is drawn from copious memoranda made at those times with a view of preserving a record too valuable and interesting to be lost - a record which fairly entitles Noah E. Smith to be ranked among New Hampshire´s notable sons. Birth and Early Life. Noah E. Smith was born in Meredith in 1808.
