Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life of Oliver Wendell Holmes In a quaint old gambrel-roofed house still standing on Cambridge Common, Oliver Wendell Holmes - poet, professor, "beloved physician" - was born, on the twenty-ninth of August, 1809. His father, the Rev. Abiel Holmes, was the pastor of the "First Church" in Cambridge - That ancient church whose lofty tower, Beneath the loftier spire, Is shadowed when the sunset hour Clothes the tall shaft in fire. Here, in Revolutionary times, General Washington frequently worshipped, and the old homestead itself was the headquarters of the American army during the siege of Boston.
