Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoir of Gen. Edward Augustus Wild: H. U. 1844 Gen. Edward Augustus Wild, the son of Dr. Charles and Mary Joanna (Rhodes) Wild, was the second son and third child of his parents; born in Brookline, Norfolk County, Mass., November 25, 1825. At the time of his birth his father had entered upon a successful career in medical practice, having graduated from the Harvard Medical College in Boston. In 1818 he took up his residence in Brookline, at that day a small but thrifty farming community. At first he became an inmate of the family of a Mrs. Croft, on Washington street, who, upon finding the young doctor was successful in his profession, gave him about two acres of land on the south side of the same street on which she resided, and nearly opposite her residence, on which he immediately erected a dwelling-house, it being the elegant ground and mansion adjoining on the east, the well-known "George Baty Blake estate." Here he continued in practice for about forty years, when the same passed into the hands of Dea. William Lincoln, and later to Stephen D. Bennett, Esq., and now owned by the heirs of Arthur H. Blake. It was on this beautiful spot, lavished by nature with beauty, and cultivated by man, that the subject of our sketch, whose name is at the head of this article, first saw the light of day. His early youth was passed under the influence of a christian home and careful training, and, not unlike many others in his day, brought up to habits of industry, attending such schools as the town afforded, and the classical school on Boylston street. He fitted for college under the private instruction of Dr. Samuel Rogers of Roxbury; entered Harvard College in 1840, graduated in 1844, having among his classmates the following persons: John Call Dalton, Professor of Physiology and Fellow of the American Academy; Benjamin Apthorp Gould, LL.D., Professor of Astronomy; Francis Parkman, LL.D., Historian; Hon. Leverett Saltonstall, the late Collector of the port of Boston; Prof. Daniel D. Slade, LL.B., now Professor of Zoology at Harvard College, and his friend Tappan Eustis Francis, M.D., of Brookline.
