Book Description
Excerpt from Reminiscences of Seventy-Five Years I was born in Beverly, Massachusetts, on January 4, 1826; consequently I have nearly completed my eighty-seventh year. Beverly was a town of considerable importance in the Common wealth. It was, as a part of Salem, one of the earliest of the Colonial settlements, many of its citizens had been engaged in foreign commerce sailing from Salem and Boston as well as from Beverly, and some had taken important parts in the polit ical life of State and nation. The leading citizen of that time, and probably for all time, was Nathan Dane, the author of the Ordinance of 1787 for the government of the Northwestern territory, by which slavery was forever excluded from what now constitutes the States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin. Seldom is it given to man to become the instrument in legislation of such transcendent importance as this which consecrated that vast region forever to Human Freedom. To Dr. Dane also is due the provision in the Constitution prohibiting any State from passing laws impairing the obliga tion of contracts. I remember him very well, an old gentleman with a serene and kindly face. I used to carry to him the N orth American Review and other periodicals for which he and my grandfather, Robert Rantoul, with Dr. Joshua Fisher, were joint subscribers. When I remember my little conversations with one who had been a distinguished member of the Continental Congress it does seem to me a far cry indeed.

Excerpt from Reminiscences of Seventy Years Life, Travel, and Adventure, Military and Civil, Scientific and Literary, Vol. 1 of 2 Before the steps of them that publish peace. Already are they heard, - how fair, how fleet, Along the mountains flash their bounding feet!

Book Description
More than the average autobiography, this is a fast-moving story that provides an interesting and vivid description of the authoras life experiences in a manner not normally found in a typical autobiography. The author concludes with a chapter commenting on changes that have taken place over the years as well as some of todayas major issues, which could serve as a basis for national debate. The book should be an inspiration to the older population and emphasizes the importance of the consensus of all of the people in determining public policy.
