Excerpt from Memoir of Charles Wentworth UphamThere must have been something venturesome and exciting for the boy, as his own protector and guide, in a time of hos tilities, travelling Over disturbed scenes by sea and land to reach a new home. He crossed the Bay Of Fundy, and then made his way to Eastport, Me., held at the time by the British and, following the coast, he reached Boston on June 27. His kind kinsman received him into his family and counting - house, intending to train him for business. But his evident talents and tastes for a higher mental culture were indulged, and, with a view to his preparation for a college course, he was sent to a school in Boston, under the charge of the late Deacon Samuel Greele, among whose pupils he was the eldest, while Robert C. Winthrop was the youngest.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
