Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Henry Hill Goodell, the Story of His Life: With Letters and a Few of His Addresses In preparing this sketch of the life of President Goodell it has been the authors aim to make it as far as possible autobiographical. The letters written during the Civil War are a soldier´s letters, written by camp-fires, amid the confusion of army life, and sometimes with the booming of great guns ringing in his ears. They are printed as he left them, without correction, omitting personal and family matters of no interest to the public. The letters are sometimes arranged so as to appear like a diary, but he did not keep a diary. He wrote to his friends of what was going on around him; he has very little to say of matters that did not come under his personal observation. President Goodell was very careless about his manuscripts and seems to have looked upon them as of temporary value; and except the addresses and papers which found their way into print, only a few out of many have been preserved. Those printed in this volume are selected as illustrative of the tone of his mind and his method of handling the subjects he studied. It will be pleasing to those to whom they were addressed to read his farewells to the graduating classes. It will be impossible to mention all the friends who have contributed to this story. It is sufficient to say that Mrs. Helen E. Goodell has been untiring in collecting material illustrative of the work and character of her husband.
