Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Papers Read, Vol. 1: Before the Historical Society of Frankford This distinguished gentleman was not a native of Frankford. He was born in England, in 1836, and was brought to this country when an infant by his parents, who were in humble circumstances. Ilis parents came to Frankford in the early ´50s and made this place their permanent home. As a lad he was gentlemanly and scholarly, and possessed those particular qualities that outwardly stamp a person as one in whom you can place confidence. When Fort Sumter was tired upon by the Confederates, young Ashworth was doing clerical work in the office of Cope Brothers, shipping merchants, in Philadelphia. The Stirring incidents at the seat of war electrified his young, patriotic nature beyond resistance, so he resigned from his lucrative mercantile position to enter the military service of his adopted country. In August, 1862, he recruited a company of young men if Frankford for a three years´ srevice in the war. A common report at the time was that Captain Ashworth recruited a company in a day, so quickly was the company organized. At that time there was an open lot just below Sellers street, that extended from Main to Paul streets, and was known as the Arcade lot. It was here that the company was recruited. The Odd Fellows´ Hall was the official recruiting office. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
