Book excerpt: Excerpt from Henry Dexter Sculptor: A Memorial There are ample materials in my hands for illustrating the career of Henry Dexter from his childhood to his death; and as I propose to let him be his own biographer wherever possible, I will once for all enumerate the sources from which this memorial is composed. For the first thirty years of his life there is a full autobiography of two hundred and five closely written quarto pages; and for the remainder of his life there is a variety of miscellaneous information contained in his own letters and diaries, in the public notices of the painter and sculptor (for he was both), and in the recollections of his family and friends. As I was myself one of the latter, and at the ever-memorable period of impressionable youth when art and artists and poetry were all the world that had any interest for me, I shall have a twofold pleasure in writing of a man whom I admired and loved, and at the same time recovering the free and aspiring period of my intimacy with him. But I have not completed the inventory of resources for this memorial, those which made the closest bond between us, but which unfortunately are for the most part in such an unfinished state that I shall be unable to use them directly.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What was the place of the artist in a new society? How would he thrive where monarchy, aristocracy, and an established church—those traditional patrons of painting, sculpture, and architecture—were repudiated so vigorously?

Book excerpt: The story of one of the Boston area’s most famous attractions, the Mount Auburn Cemetery, and how its founders and “residents” have influenced American culture When Mount Auburn Cemetery was founded, in 1831, it revolutionized the way Americans mourned the dead by offering a peaceful space for contemplation. This cemetery, located not far from Harvard University, was also a place that reflected and instilled an imperative to preserve and protect nature in a rapidly industrializing culture—lessons that would influence the creation of Central Park, the cemetery at Gettysburg, and the National Parks system. Even today this urban wildlife habitat and nationally recognized hotspot for migratory songbirds continues to connect visitors with nature and serves as a model for sustainable landscape practices. Beyond Mount Auburn’s prescient focus on conservation, it also reflects the impact of Transcendentalism and the progressive spirit in American life seen in advances in science, art, and religion and in social reform movements. In The Lively Place, Stephen Kendrick celebrates this vital piece of our nation’s history, as he tells the story of Mount Auburn’s founding, its legacy, and the many influential Americans interred there, from religious leaders to abolitionists, poets, and reformers.
