Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Narrative of the Life, Experience and Work of an American Citizen August 24, 1895, I have today completed 86 years of my life, and this is its history. I was born in Newburyport, August 24, 1809. My father was also born in that town. He was the son of Dea. Nehemiah Haskell who removed to that town in early life. My mother was Eunice Dodge, daughter of Barnabas Dodge, an eminent surveyor, who was employed by the state in the latter part of the last century to run out the township lines in the District of Maine. My grandfather Haskell was born in Gloucester, within a mile of the Ipswich boundry line. My grandfather Dodge and both my grandmothers, Elizabeth Fitts and Elizabeth Giddings were natives of Ipswich, and descendents of its early families. At an early age I was sent to the private School of Miss Chase in Milk street. All that I remember of the school is - that the scholars were sent to pick up the apples that fell from the trees in her garden, on the day of the Great September gale 1815 and that I was sent home before noon in the care of an older scholar. A few years later I was sent to the public school at the south end of the Mall. I remained in the school until my parents removed to Ipswich when I was ten years old. My father died soon after this removal. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
