Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from American Orators and Oratory: Being a Report of Lectures Delivered by Thomas Wentworth Higginson, at Western Reserve Univesity, Under the Auspices of the Western Reserve Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution In the year 1899, the Western Reserve Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, founded a Lectureship of American History in the College for Women, Western Reserve University, to be filled each year by some eminent historian. In January, 1900, the Lectureship was auspiciously opened by the late Moses Coit Tyler, of Cornell University. His winning personality and his profound scholarship will always remain a precious memory to those who had the privilege of listening at that time to this distinguished historian. For the second of this series the Chapter was so fortunate as to secure Colonel Thomas Wentworth Higginson. The enthusiastic reception of these lectures suggested the desirability of issuing them in permanent form for the members. The Chapter here offers a verbatim report of these lectures, for which it is indebted to Mr. Charles W. Chesnutt. A special acknowledgment is made to Mr. Charles Orr for his helpful suggestions in the preparation of this book.
