Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Life of James Fisk, Jr.: Being a Full and Accurate Narrative of All the Enterprises in Which He Has Been Engaged Childhood and School-Days - His Early Home - A Vermont Peddler - His First Sensation. James Fisk, Jr., was born in Pownal, near the historic town of Bennington, in the southwestern part of Vermont, April 1st, 1835. At the time of his birth his father peddled from this point as a centre, visiting the adjacent country in all directions with one of those carts which were much more frequent before the revolutions caused by railroads than they now are, being a small variety store upon wheels, and carrying nearly everything that a rural community ordinarily purchased, from a silk dress to a jewsharp. While the son was still a small child the father moved across to the east side of the Green Mountains, and established the base of his operations at Brattleboro, in the southeastern corner of the State, on the Connecticut River.
