A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The author of the celebrated lecture, which is herewith submitted to the public was bom near A dheville in Buncombe County North Carolina, on May 13 1830. He came of a stock of sturdy and sprightly people whose lineage ruos through I reland to Normaiidy, a circumstance to be noted, in accounting for the marvelous resourcefulness and wit of our author. His father was David Vance, and his mother, whom David married on January 2,1825, was Mira Margaret Baird, daughter of Zdbulon Baird, at one time State Senator for Buncombe County. Thus, in brief, we have a disdoeure of the sources of our authors name and of the characteristics which made him famous. Bom in the mountains, of rugged but religious parmtage, amid the lofty peaks of the Blue Bidge, the wealth of balsams, ferns, rhododendrons, and all manner of trees and flowers which there abound in laviglhness; where the very aspects of nature tend to broaden the mind, and the traditions of local history, including the names of rivers, such as the Swannanoa and the Tah-kee-ostee, enliven the imagination and give zest to fancy, it is small wonder that Zebulon Baird Vance in his infancy had within himself the gerais of statesmanship, poetry and wit We find young Zeb, at the age of six years, attending boarding school in the mountains, riding horseback and Itching a fellow student because, as he put it, he was so cussed ugly that I could not help if A gain, he is a practical joker, finding opportunities for amusement on every side.
