About this ebook
This collection of stories from New York State’s North Country in the 19th century features: the outdoors loving Vice President William Almon Wheeler, the popular First Lady Lucy Hayes, the radical women’s rights advocate and preacher Olympia Brown, Mohawk Indian lacrosse players, the philosopher and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson, the anti-Civil War activists and Copperhead Party stalwarts Francis D. Flanders and Joseph R. Flanders, the nationally prominent U.S. Senator and New York Governor Silas Wright, and the possibly autistic ex-slave and brilliant piano virtuoso Blind Tom, as well as commentary about problems involving the overemphasis of sports and how to live a happy life. The articles, which were previously published in New York historical journals and in the author’s blog at HerbertHallas.com, are set in Malone, Franklin County, New York, and several other towns and counties near the Adirondacks.
