Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letters From a Chasseur À Pied At the end of his course, he meets death on a battlefield, bravely fighting for France. One of Robert´s chief characteristics was his profound attachment to his native land. He was born in 1882 at La Ferriere-sous-Jougne, Doubs, in the Jura Mountains, and the severe and almost tragic beauty of the fir tree forests, extending for miles over the mountainsides, was so strongly stamped on his memory that he always longed for fir clad mountains and loved those landscapes best which came nearest to this type of natural beauty. Robert was the youngest of a family of seven children, and as his father died when he was but six years old, in the course of his life, when he came in closer contact now with one and now with another of his brothers and sisters, he eagerly asked them for his share of the moral guidance left them by their father as their most precious heritage. Roberts father, after having lived the greater part of his life near Grenoble and in Lyons, had finally become superintendent of a large wire and nail factory at La Ferriere. The owners of the mill, the employees, the eight hundred workmen constituted the whole settlement. As in this Roman Catholic community our family was the only one which was of Huguenot ancestry, and as the only Protestant church was several miles distant, our father, in his own way, gave us religious training. In summer, on Sunday, when the weather was fair, he often took us to a part of the forest where old fir trees, standing wide apart, left an open space as dark and mysterious as a cathedral, and there he would read to us either a psalm of David or a passage from the Gospels, and the reading over, he would tell us how, in olden times, our Huguenot ancestors had fought for their faith and how for centuries before the great French Revolution, they had prayed and worshipped in the wilderness, in some clearing or by the side of a stream.
