Excerpt from Men of the Time: Being Biographies of Generals, Hooker, Rosecrans, Grant, McClernand, Mitchell The descendants of this brave and gifted minister are yet numerous in New England, and form a portion of what Dr. Holmes calls its Brahmin Caste. They have distinguished themselves in the pulpit, at the bar, in the medical profession and in the practice of arms and the commanding presence, the intellectual vigor, and the heroic spirit of their ancestor have been perpetuated in his descendants, to an extraordinary degree. To this family belongs the subject of our sketch, who is a lineal descendant of the Hartford founder, whose noble form, manly bearing and military ardor he fully inherits.
