A Boy in the Wilderness.

Consider the conditions under which the
boy Fenimore grew up. All about him
there was wilderness to be conquered.
Woodcraft came to him naturally. His
daughter Susan wrote of her fathers child
life: From the first bow and arrow. kite
and ball to later feats in fishing. riding.
shooting and skating, all were connected
with his highland home. His young i'm
agination was fired by thought of the
Indians who only few years before had
been building their fires in these forests
and padding their bark canoes in these
lakes. Though the life of the cities was
far away echoes of il came to him. From
time to time distinguished visitors appeared
in Otsego Hall The Frenchman Talley-
rand was one of them. Fenimore's first
formal schooling was at the hands of the
English rector of st. Peters Church at
Albany and then he went to Yale College,
entering at the age of thirteen. There
were three years at Yale and then his
father obtained for him an appointment as
a midshipman in the United States Navy.
That was before there was any academy
at Annapolis. and the training consisted of
shipping the boy before the mast on
