Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Day Before Yesterday: Reminiscences of a Varied Life "To the heart of youth the world is a highway side. Passing forever he fares; and on cither hand, Deep in the gardens the golden pavilions hide, Nestle in orchard bloom, and far on the level land Call him with lighted lamp in the eventide." - Stevenson. I was born on the 15th of April, 1836, at Dans-kammer on the Hudson, near Newburgh. The date on the house at Danskammer is 1834, so I have always assumed that I was born in that house, although at the time my father, Edward Armstrong, bought the place, about 1822, there was an old house near the edge of the bank sloping down to the river, a rather fine colonial building with two wings. When this house was torn down to make way for our new one, one of the wings was moved back of the Danskammer stable and used for many years as a carpenter-shop; the walls were hard-finished and the ornamental ceiling and woodwork bore evidence of its having been a part of a handsome house, probably the diningroom. On the place at that time was a carpenter named Edgar Bloomer, whom my mother hired by the year and who did his work in this room. He was a nice man, and as a child I liked to be out there with him, watching the long shavings curl into ringlets before his plane and building houses with the blocks that he sawed off.
