Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Pig Iron The news of Lee´s surrender at Appomattox reached the little Massachusetts town of Mendon almost at the very hour of Sam Smith´s birth. The baby´s father, gray-featured and gray-bearded Theophilus Smith, who had given two sons to the Union cause, took his wife´s hand in his as he knelt beside the bed, and gently patting it, told her the glad tidings in a voice that slightly trembled. "James lies at Shiloh and Lawrence at Andersonville, but right has triumphed, my dear. The Union is to be preserved and our boys have not given their young lives in vain. God in His infinite goodness has seen fit in this hour of victory to send us another son to take the place of one of those we´ve lost. "Is it a boy, Thee?" his wife asked weakly. "Yes, Mary my dear, - a splendid boy. Mrs. Bell has him, - is giving him his first bath; she´ll have him here directly. A fine boy, isn´t he, Adam?" he finished, addressing the doctor who had quitted the mother for a moment to inspect the child and was now reentering the room. "A baby any woman might well be proud of, Mrs. Smith. I have to congratulate you on a beautiful son." "Then he´s to be ´Samuel,"´ said the woman in the bed with a tender smile. "My ´Samuel´ and yours, too, Thee - for he was ´Asked of God."´ "Just as you like, Mary. You´ve made another gallant fight and brought another sturdy soul into the world. You deserve a fine son to look after you as the years come on, and you shall call him what you will. ´Samuel´ is an honored name.
