Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sand-Burrs The subject of this brief sketch was born in Camden, N.J., thirty-three years ago, and has lived there at intervals ever since. His father, William Donaldson Connor, was a veteran of the Civil War, having served in the 118th Pennsylvania Volunteers, known as the "Corn Exchange" regiment, which saw severe and active fighting. After the war he became a railroader and acted as Express master on the old Cape May express. He railroaded in other capacities, chiefly as station master, up until near the time of his death in the winter of 1887. His parents came from good American stock. After the death of his mother, early in the 80´s, George, who was then a lad of few years, went to live with his father, who was holding down a lonely little station on the old Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Central in Chester County, Pa., known as Brandywine Summit. Here George and his father lost no opportunity to go on fishing, gunning and nutting expeditions in the surrounding hills and valleys as often as opportunity afforded an afternoon off. There was no school nearby. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
