Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Charles Chapin Tracy, Missionary, Philanthropist, Educator, First President of Anatolia College, Marsovan, Turkey Charles Chapin Tracy, the son of Orramel and Cynthia Kellogg Tracy, was born at East Smithfield, Pennsylvania, October 31st, 1838. His father´s family had emigrated in 1805 from East Haddam, Connecticut, and after a nine days´ journey with ox wagons, reached a frontier settlement near Tioga Point at the junction of the Susquehanna and Chemung Rivers. This had been the rallying ground of six Indian nations for 200 years. The boy Orramel Tracy was then twelve years old. Cynthia Kellogg had already arrived with her father´s family in 1801 from Poultney, Vermont, where three pilgrim households had been organized as a Congregational Church before they set out, like Abraham or the Pilgrim Fathers, to make a new home in the solemn and mysterious wilderness in the west. East Smithfield was the name given the new community. Those were the days of real pioneering. Bears lurked among the trees, panthers tracked lone travelers, and children´s blood often ran cold as they listened to the howling of a wolf pack. Traditions in the Tracy and Kellogg families told how children often cried themselves to sleep without supper if the father was too late or too tired to get the bag of grist home from the mill on his shoulder before bedtime. Charles Chapin was the sixth of seven children born in the home of his pioneer parents. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
