Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Missouri Historical Review, Vol. 12: October, 1917-July, 1918 The biographer of this odd man, who came into the life of the state like a comet and passed beyond its horizon almost as abruptly, is embarrassed by the scantiness of certified material concerning this pioneer. Der Deutsche Pionier, this invaluable source of historic things German American, contains in Vol. VI an interesting sketch of Duden by Friedrich Schnacke. Translated, the account reads as follows: "Gottfried Duden was born in Remscheid, Duchy of Berg, Rhine Province in the year 1785. His father was a wealthy apothecary. The youth attended the gymnasium in Dortmund and during the years 1806 to 1810 studied law in Duesseldorf, Heidelberg and Goettingen. For a time he was assistant at the court of law in Duesseldorf. In 1811 he was made Justice of the Peace in the district of Muehlheim on the river Ruhr. In the year 1812 he joined the Second Regiment of the Duchy of Berg, which regiment was later incorporated in the twenty-eighth Prussian Infantry. He was advanced by degrees to the rank of adjutant and participated in the campaign against Napoleon. During this campaign Duden gave evidence of extraordinary bravery. After the campaign he again resumed the duties of his office at Muehlheim. By order of the Cabinet he was made Proctor of State for the district of Muehlheim in 1820. This office he held till 1823, his residence being at Cologne. In his capacity as an officer of the state he had exceptional opportunity to gain an insight into the sufferings of his fellowmen. He was convinced that most of the crimes, which he was called upon to prosecute, were due to poverty. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
