Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Edwin M. Stanton: An Address by Andrew Carnegie on Stanton Memorial Day at Kenyon College Stanton, The Patriot, Kenyon´s most illustrious son, came of good kith and kin, born as he was of sturdy Quaker stock. His grandfather emigrated from Massachusetts to North Carolina before the Revolution in 1774, and he dying there his widow emigrated in 1800 to the Northwestern Territory because it was dedicated to freedom. The grandfather wished to manumit his slaves before leaving Massachusetts, but this being illegal he left them under the protection of a guardian to see that they were not misused. The Stantons settled at Mount Pleasant, Ohio. The son David, father of our subject, was an able physician in Steubenville, a strong abolitionist, laboring even in that early day to impress his fellows with the wrongfulness of slavery. At thirteen, Edwin was fortunately employed in a book-store, so that access to books was assured: probably one of the most important factors in determining his future career.
