Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from This Discursive Biographical Sketch of Colonel Richard Lathers, 1841-1902 This volume may be regarded as the index of a forthcoming historical compilation of the lives, letters and speeches of several hundred of our distinguished Divines, Jurists, Statesmen, Soldiers and Merchants, illustrative of that period of our history. This biographical sketch of perhaps the oldest citizen of our city of New Rochelle is chiefly confined to that portion of his life embraced by his continuous residence on his estate of Winyah Park, on the west side of our city, for a period of over a half-century, during which his seven children were born, reared, and educated. In this period, memorable for its unexampled activity in business and political life, as well as for its precarious years of a civil war which threatened the unity of the nation, New Rochelle grew from a small village of but six hundred inhabitants to a flourishing city of eighteen thousand active and cultivated people. The compiler of these pages avails himself of the valuable and reliable information and editorial comments which a contemporary public press affords; for he has learned by many years´ connection therewith that the atmosphere of individual life is largely composed of the public opinion as honestly expressed by the press in this age of independent journalism, and that the markings of the local journals, with some exceptions, furnish a fair barometer of individual character. It will be found that a ten years´ residence under journalistic eyes never fails to establish the reputation of every citizen whose prominence challenges public attention.
