Reseña del editor
From childhoods days Ive longed to know The wonders of the past; And as I into manhood grow, I choose my work at last. I then resolved that, come what may, Id give my brawn and brain From manhood till Im old and grey, To lengthen out the chain Of life upon the earth we tread Since early dawn of life. Now, I think that Ive been led To enter this great strife. As child, on old Otsego shill I found a limestone ledge That shells of many species fill. Far, far from oceans edge. And yet they once were living shells. That laved in oceans brine; They cast on me a wondering spell. When did they live. the time.? I ever loved the rocks, and hills With deep green hemlock crowned; I loved to listen to the rills. That gurgling, pleasant sound.
