As I remember them

C. C. (Charles Carroll) Goodwin 1832-1917

4.9/5 (23921 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from As I Remember Them Within these pages are some pen sketches of men. Some in their lives, to blinded eyes, were just plain people, who did their work here noiselessly and fell asleep. Some were men whose learning ranged over every field, whose brows had been sealed by the signet of genius, whose lips and pens were tipped by celestial fire. Some were heroes who held their fortunes, their sacred honor, life itself as nothing when a principle was to be vindicated. Some were masterful souls, industrial kings, state and empire builders who went out exultingly to the conquest of the wilderness, to storm its mountains for their treasures, to drive back the frontier, to chase away the frown of the desert, to blaze and smooth the trails, that full enlightenment - or unsoiled sandals might come. Some were absorbed in drying the tears from the cheeks of sorrow and in proclaiming the goodness of God. These come back to me as I recall them to make me forget the roll and roar of the onsweeping world. They have come across the gulf of the years, come with the old exulted step and old sparkle in their eyes and have hailed me with the old joyous voices, from which not one cadence is lost. Those voices are sweeter than harp or flute. I cannot catch and hold the voices or the music, but from time to time I have made rude sketches of the stately souls. To make clear how I have been favored, with all good will these sketches are presented. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
