Book Description
Excerpt from Letters of William Wheeler, of the Class of 1855, Y. C When between eight and nine years of age, he would col lect his boy playmates on some door-step in his neighborhood, and entertain them with stories of his own imagining, which would be continued from evening to evening, - a youthful Improvisatore. His father being unable to use his eyes except for the necessary duties of his profession, William spent his winter evenings in reading to him such books as Prescott's Mexico, Shakespeare, Alison's History of Europe, etc. The next day he would entertain himself in arranging his toy soldiers in the order of the battles of the Great Captain, which impressed them very forcibly upon his mind. He was also instructed by his father in the game of chess, for which he had ever a great fondness, and in which he was much skilled. When ten years of age he was sent to boarding school at Stamford, where he made much progress in some branches of study.
