Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Chippendales Blaisdell had come to Boston to seek his fortune. Not precisely without a penny in his pocket, as tradition expects, but with only two thousand dollars in the bank and knowing no one in the Athens of America. He had been born and his boyhood had been spent in a large town in the State of Maine. His father had fallen in the Civil War, and Hugh´s education - Hugh McDowell Blaisdell was his full name - had been obtained by sacrifices on his mother´s part. Although eager to go to work in order to provide comforts for her old age, he had yielded to her prayer that he should pass four years at one of the smaller New England colleges, from which he had lately been graduated. Six weeks after his Commencement Day his mother had died. When he roused himself from his grief to face the world he had chosen Boston rather than New York, mainly because a friend offered to give him a letter of introduction to General Horatio Langdon, the banker. General Langdon, who was the commanding officer of the brigade to which his father had belonged, had not only found him a business opening, but had recommended him to apply for lodgings to Mrs. Avery.
