Notable Readings and Wandering Lives in 19th Century Society
Ex-Senator Wallace is famed as an omnivorous reader who travels by daylight with a book. An Indianapolis paper notes Robert Gay, a Indiana schoolmaster, as the first soldier executed for desertion at Camp Burnside in 1863. Theodore Tilton lives in a thriftless Paris quarter, occasionally writing. West Virginia Senator Faulkner, as a boy, killed bears with a single shotgun. Rev. Samuel G. Smith leaves the Methodist church at St. Paul, with much of his flock following. A. Merrill, nicknamed Little Livingstone by Africans, markets elephant tusks from Bechuanaland. He mentions the Queen of Tongaland as the original of Haggard’s She, a handsome, not very dark woman.
