Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Specimens of American Poetry, With Critical and Biographical Notices, Vol. 2 of 3: In Three Volumes Joel Barlow was born at Reading, a small village in Fair-field county, Connecticut, about the year 1755. His father was a farmer in independent, though moderate circumstances, and had ten children, of whom out poet was the youngest. He died while Joel was a lad at school, and left him little more than sufficient to give him a liberal education of such a sort as was customary at that period. He entered first at Dartmouth college in New Hampshire, but that seminary being then in its infancy, and laboring under many embarrassments, he removed after a short residence, to Yale college in New Haven. In the third year of his academic course, the revolutionary war broke out, and the Connecticut militia being called out in great numbers to strengthen Washington´s army, Barlow could not resist the inclination to join the camp where four of his brothers were in arms. He shouldered his musket during the college vacations, and fought in many of the skirmishes at the beginning of the war.
