Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Eight Journeys Abroad The writer of the accompanying letters, Mary D. Rosengarten, was born in 1846 at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, daughter of James and Laura Clifford Richardson. In 1857, Mr. and Mrs, Richardson removed to St. Louis, Missouri, and it was in that city their daughter received her early education, graduating from the high school at the head of her class, in 1862. After her graduation in St. Louis she entered the home of President Sanborn of Dartmouth College at Hanover, New Hampshire, and under his supervision studied English literature. Later, in 1863, she entered a school in Brooklyn, N. Y., on Brooklyn Heights, and applied herself to the study of vocal and instrumental music. The following years she studied vocal and instrumental music and became a most accomplished singer, having a mezzosoprano voice. Her intense desire for culture induced unceasing efforts in all branches. Her study of music, and French, Italian and, English literature never wavered, even during her long years of married life and motherhood. Her appreciation of the artistic and beautiful was a strongly marked characteristic. Her kindness of heart, generous disposition and quiet charity made her beloved by the many who knew her. In the winter of 1863, instead of journeying to her home in St. Louis, she spent the Christmas holidays at the home of the father of her future husband at 1532 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia. Her visit there began a friendship that never wavered and resulted in her subsequent engagement and marriage in 1873, ten years after her first visit to Philadelphia, followed by over forty years of intensest mutual love.
