Reminiscences Of A Veteran PDF Download

Excerpt from Reminiscences of a Veteran I was born in the town of Lynn, County of Norfolk, one of the old walled, borough towns on the east coast of England, and was the third of a family of eleven children. My father was a quiet, unpretending man, and followed the occupation of bricklayer. He was in business himself, and by his industry, brought up a large family respectably and accumulated sufficient property to care for him in old age. My mother was a Christian, and a member of the Baptist church, and I considered her a very remarkable woman. All matters pertaining to the house and children were left to her. She carried the purse, paid all bills, kept my father's accounts, furnished us with pocket money, made all our clothes and her own, and always asserted the right of punishing the children for all misdemeanors.
