Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Story of John Kane: Of Dutchess County, New York Elizabeth Dennistoun (Wood) Kane was born at Bootle, a suburb of Liverpool, England, May 12, 1836 .William Wood, her father, was a young Scotchman connected with the banking house of Dennistoun, Wood & Co. Her mother, Harriet Amelia Kane, was a beautiful American of the New York branch of the family of the founder of the town of Kane, Pennsylvania. She was the third of six children. When she was six years old, she found her ideal in the gallant young cousin, Thomas Leiper Kane (later General Kane, Commander of the Famous Bucktail Regiment of the Civil War), who, wounded in France´s Revolution against Louis Philippe, found welcome and healing in her father´s house. His kindnesses won her childish heart; and the French doll he gave her was never forgotten. August 12, 1844, she landed with her parents in New York to make America their future home. Two years later her mother died. For seven lonely years, she found comfort and companionship with her studies and poets, brightened by occasional glimpses of her idolized cousin, Tom. At twelve she said once to her sister, "Why, I thought you all knew I intend to marry Cousin Tom Kane!" On April 21, 1853, in Dr. Potts´ Presbyterian church in New York, he placed on her finger the band of gold which she carried to her grave, prized more than any other earthly treasure.
