Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Ingham Papers: Some Memorials of the Life of Capt. Frederic Ingham, U. S. N., Sometime Pastor of the First Sandemanian Church in Naguadavick, and Major General by Brevet in the Patriot Service in Italy It is always difficult to write the biography of the living. It is more difficult to write the biography of a friend. In attempting to put on paper a few memoranda of Captain Frederic Ingham´s life, I am hampered by both difficulties. We have lived on the most intimate terms. I have shared his thoughts, his purse, his confidence. I have slept under the same blanket with him; have bivouacked on the same mountain-top with him; have shared in the same adventure. Yet he never told me in set form the order of his life; nor do I know, from any memoranda of his, what he would wish me to put down, and what he would wish to have omitted. He is now absent in Siberia, in connection with the telegraph enterprise, which is alluded to in this volume. His wife is visiting in Bohemia, on some estates of a friend of theirs. I am sometimes led to think that there is Bohemian blood in both of them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
