Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Noted Speeches of Daniel Webster, Henry Clay, John C. Calhoun: Edited With Biographical Sketches Daniel Webster was born in the town of Salisbury, New Hampshire, January 18, 1782 - the last year of the Revolutionary War. His early years brought him little opportunity for schooling. He attended the small district schools in the winter, more than his brothers, because he was considered too delicate for the farm work, and showed a great eagerness for reading and learning. Daniel had few books, and so read them over and over until he knew them by heart. No doubt the teaching of his experienced father, and his loving, ambitious mother formed the foundation for his education. Part of his time was spent in rambles in the woods and fields, and along the river, where he learned to love nature. In the long winter evenings Daniel´s father told the children stories of the Revolution, the traditions of the Indian wars, and of the hardships of pioneer life.
