Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoir of the Rev. James Waddel When he was about twelve years of age, he went in company with one of his brothers to chase a hare. The little creature took refuge in a hollow tree, or log; and as James was pointing out the spot, his brother let fall a hatchet on the place, which struck the left hand of the younger boy, and almost severed it from the wrist. Throughout his life, this hand was small, and in a great degree useless. This induced his father to give him an education. Accordingly, he was sent to Nottingham, about fifteen miles distant, to the school of the Rev. Dr. Finley, afterward President of New Jersey College. It was an academy of high reputation. The late venerable Mr. Samuel Houston, in a letter to my mother, of date November 10, 1835, speaks as follows: "In his familiar hours, [Dr. Waddel] sometimes gave me anecdotes of his early life. One was of his mother [and of] the morning he left home, to go to a grammar school, some distance from their abode.
