Step into the 19th‑century world of a Connecticut family through warm, first‑person reminiscences. This is a memoir written for family, now shared for readers who want a close look at daily life, work, and weathered beginnings before the modern era.

Two brief, inviting sections frame an intimate portrait of childhood, schooling, and a world where village life, faith, and neighborly ties shaped a young mind. The book blends personal memory with small history, tracing a path from rural origins to the growing cityscape of New York and beyond.

- Personal recollections of childhood in Cromwell and Stamford, from schoolrooms to family hearths
- Vivid scenes of early transportation, from sailing ships to stagecoaches and rails
- A vivid map of early American society, including churches, schools, and local economies
- A grounded record of a family’s place in a rapidly changing nation, with reflections on heritage and progress

Ideal for readers of family histories, local history, and memoirs that illuminate everyday life in America’s early republic.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a compelling autobiography written in the elderly years of the author. It offers a vivid glimpse of the humble beginnings of a 19th century American family and the author's journey through the many social and economic changes that occurred during his lifetime. The author describes his family's origins, tracing his ancestry to the early settlers of Massachusetts and Connecticut. He recounts his father's childhood in a riverside village, his early training as a saddler and harness maker, and his struggles to establish a livelihood and support his growing family. The author movingly remembers his mother as a woman of strong character and devout faith, who passed away when he was seven years old. In his teen years, the author himself was apprenticed to a saddler, and eagerly absorbed knowledge during his evenings, despite the lack of formal schooling. This thirst for knowledge led him to join a local debating society, where he first encountered the writings of Sir Humphry Davy, sparking his interest in chemistry. The author's keen intellect and determination to better himself would ultimately lead him to become a prominent figure in the field of steam navigation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781332031023_0
