Inheriting a strong impulse for study, which was stimulated by his parents, Abraham became an early reader and writer, his. Books, though few in number, being well calculated to form a character which has never been sur passed for quaint simplicity, earnestness, purity and great wisdom. They were of a kind, too, which excited his taste for politics, kindled his ambition, and, though a lad, made him a warm admirer of the statesmen of that time. In the winter of 1819 he passed under the care of a step-mother, and as he grew up he became increasingly helpful on the farm. In physical strength and in athletic feats he was the master of all his companions, his modesty as well as his generosity winning their lasting esteem. When eighteen, he built a flatboat and made his first venture to a down-the river market, and when nineteen, though unaccustomed to business, and ignorant of the great stream he was to move upon, he made a successful flatboat trip.

Download or read book The Selected Papers of Jane Addams written by Mary Lynn Bryan and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 716 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Filling a void in Jane Addams scholarship, this first volume of The Selected Papers of Jane Addams collects extant documents from the formative years of the major American historical figure, intellectual, social activist, and author. Documenting the early development of Addams's social principles, the documents reveal the leadership skills that led her into a life of public commitment. For all her public compassion and visibility as an outspoken pacifist, Progressive reformer, and founder of Hull-House, Addams was an intensely private person who revealed her personal side only to family and close friends. Drawing on letters, diaries, and other writings from her childhood in Cedarville, Illinois, and her education at the Rockford Female Seminary, this volume provides heretofore unavailable insight into her developing ideas, educational experiences, and personal relationships. More than just biographical records, The Selected Papers of Jane Addams defines the era in which Addams lived. Unique yet representative of the spiritual ideals and political sensibilities of post-Civil War women and society, Addams's lesser-known, personal writings are necessary reading for scholars and historians. The volume explores important themes, including the migration of families westward, the first generation of college women, and the religious and domestic lives of nineteenth-century Americans. The editors' rich annotation of individuals and events featured in the documents and appendix of biographical profiles represent a trove of primary research and place the documents in historical context.
