Book Description
Excerpt from Albert Gallatin Dow, 1808-1908 At your request I give you some reminiscences of my life. Now that we are well within the year of my one hundredth anniversary, I will con ne myself particularly to those incidents that I think have some bearing on my longevity, only deviating to add interest for the younger members of our family. - A. G. D. My first recollection of anything, is of the ferry-boat crossing the Connecticut River when my father moved his family from Plainfield, N. H., to Hartland, Vt. I was born August 16, 1808, and we moved in May before I was three years old. I recollect many things of our home in Hartland - the large meadow running down to the Connecticut River; the house, a large white colonial building; the great room upstairs with its fireplace, and my sisters spinning by the light of pine knots while some one of the family read; the Masonic Lodge meeting in that room, where my father was the master. I remember of his going off to Indiana to look for a new home, and of his return; that on that trip he rode a very fine black mare of ours; she would not let any boy on her back, but my mother used to ride her.

The Life of Albert Gallatin (Classic Reprint)

Publisher: Forgotten Books
ISBN: 9781451002454
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 710
Book Description
Excerpt from The Life of Albert Gallatin A large part of the following biography relates to a period of American history as yet unwritten, and is intended to supply historians with material which, except in such a form, would be little likely to see the light. The principal private source from which the author has drawn his information is of course the rich collection of papers which Albert Gallatin left behind him in the hands of his only now surviving son and literary executor, under whose direction these volumes are published. By the liberality and courtesy of Mr. Evarts, Secretary of State, and the active assistance of the admirable organization of the State Department, much material in the government archives at Washington has been made accessible, without which the story must have been little more than a fragment. The interesting series of letters addressed to Joseph H. Nicholson are drawn from the Nicholson mss., which Judge Alexander B. Hagner kindly placed in the author's hands at a moment when he had abandoned the hope of tracing them. For other valuable papers and information he is indebted to Miss Sarah N. Randolph, of Edgehill, the representative of Mr. Jefferson, the N icholases, and the Randolphs. The persevering inquiries of Mr. William Wirt Henry, of Richmond, have resulted in filling some serious gaps in the narrative, and the antiquarian research of Mr. James Veech, of Pittsburg, has been freely put at the author's service. Finally, he has to recognize the unfailing generosity with which his numerous and troublesome demands have been met by one whose path it is his utmost hope in some slight degree to have.

Excerpt from The Portraits of Albert Gallatin The statement made in A Great Peace Maker, the Diary of James Gallatin, that the Munier Romilly portrait was painted in Geneva in 1 815 is certainly incorrect.
