Baxter Memorial Library of Rutland, Vt Horace henry baxter, in whose memory this Library was founded, was born in Saxton's River, Vermont, January 18, 1818. He was the eldest son of Horace Baxter, Esq., who was for many years a practicing lawyer in Rockingham, Judge of Probate, and a very popular and eminent citizen of Windham County. Judge Baxter was a very handsome man, and from him his son inherited the manly beauty of face and figure, affable disposition, and attractive manners, for which he was distinguished during all his active life. General Baxter commenced his business career as a clerk in the establishment of Blake Appleton, in Boston. But after a few years he returned to Vermont, and was awarded the contract for grading the depot grounds at Bellows Falls and the construction of some miles of railway. Shortly after this he took the contract for building a portion of the Bennington and Rutland Railway. This kind of work was congenial to his tastes, and his natural spirit and energy were shown by the rapid completion of the work. His next large venture was the building of the Cleveland, Norwalk, and Toledo Railway; in all these enterprises he was eminently fortunate and successful. Returning from Ohio in 1854, he located in Rutland, Vt. Previous to the breaking out of the Civil War, General Baxter was appointed a delegate from Vermont to the famous Peace Convention that met in Washington, and soon after was appointed adjutant-general of the State. In this capacity he mustered in the first tr00ps, which were sent from Vermont. His pay was seventy-five dollars per annum, and there is no doubt that he spent from his private fortune, in arming and equipping troops and paying bounties, more thousands than he received dollars in any one year for his services to the State. He was emphatically one of the men who did not profit by the war. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Billy Baxter's Letters In presenting a new edition of Billy Baxter's Letters we need only refer the reader to the original preface, which sets forth the circumstances surrounding the initial publication. Billy Baxter claimed, for his slang, that it was up to date, but time has proven that it was far in advance of date, only because many of the expressions used in Billy Baxter's Letters did not come into common use until upwards of ten years after the publication of the famous stories. We offer this re-issue of Billy Baxter's Letters to our American friends in the hope that it will come with as much sunshine to the present generation as the original edition did to the past.
