Francis Parkman (Classic Reprint)

Angebote / Angebote:

Excerpt from Francis Parkman The life of a scholar is almost of necessity uneventful, and his accomplished work speaks for itself, therefore the biographer must deal in the main with the scholar's labors of acquisition and preparation. Journals kept on two summer vacations, and on a trip to Europe, and several erratic and scrappy notebooks, show Parkman's methods of examining historic places and of collecting historical materials. These, together with the "Oregon Trail, " his own brief narrative of his life, and an irregular correspondence, constitute the autobiographical records of his life.
