Description
Excerpt from Recollections of a Long Life: 1829-1915
Favored by circumstance, I covered wider fields than most of them. From the time I fell under the eye of my mother''s cousin, Christopher Murray, at Murray Castle, Spring Hill, New Brunswick, when I was four years old, it was my good fortune to attract the attention and enjoy the confidence of many men. I came to the West as a member of the household of Jefferson Sinclair, the greatest practical lumberman of his time; was associated in business with William B. Ogden, at one time mayor of Chicago, also one of the towering figures of his day; and numbered among my friends Samuel J. Tilden and a host of other men of large affairs - lawyers, railroad builders, bankers, manufacturers who set the seal of their energy upon the broadening destiny of the country, - pioneers, no less, of their kind.
