Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Will Carleton, Vol. 39 Will Carleton, whose writings have for many years endeared him to the people of this State as Michigan´s representative poet, was born October 21,1845, on the sixty-acre farm where the old homestead still stands, two miles east of the village of Hudson, Lenawee County, near the southern boundary of the State, on the line of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railroad. Mr. Carleton´s parents, John Hancock and Celestia E. Smith Carleton, were pioneer settlers in Hudson Township. His ancestry was English, through New Hampshire. In their religious opinions both Mr. and Mrs. Carleton were ardent Methodists, and Mr. Carleton was class-leader in the village Methodist Episcopal church for many years, until his death in 1872 at the age of seventy. He was a man of sterling probity, somewhat austere in manner, much liked and respected in the community. Young Will grew up in the strictness of the faith, but became quite liberal in after years. From the time of his marriage in 1882 he was more associated with the Free Will Baptist denomination, in the missionary work of which Mrs. Carleton was quite active. He was one of the Trustees of the college of that denomination at Hillsdale from 1887 until his death. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
