Dimensions: 9.0in. x 6.0in. x 0.6in.Excerpt from Sketches and PoemsWalter Hinchman, whose life covered seventy-five years of vivid activity, lived through three greatly varying eras in American history. He knew in boyhood the period when the greater part of the country west of the Mississippi was practically a wilderness, and when the rest of the country was in its first stages of railroad and steamboat travel, photographs generally unknown, and slavery still a fact. During his middle life, scientific discoveries and inventions set the stage for an astonishing material development. Finally, after experi encing in his youth the terrible years of the Civil War, he saw in old age an upheaval which in large part overthrew those things which had been laboriously built up in his lifetime. With much justification he shared the view of so many of his contemporaries, that it was really hard to see where it all might be leading to. Yet he never allowed the pessimism which he felt over international affairs to make of him a gloomy companion. A lover of outdoors, especially in the spring, he was instinctively optimistic. His unfail ing good humor and kindliness were the strongest traits in his character. About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
