Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Cheerful Yesterdays, VII. Kansas and John Brown (search)
hurch on my attention. I was brought much in contact with that noble and self-devoted man, George Luther Stearns, of Medford, who gave, first and last, ten thousand dollars to maintain liberty in the new Territory; and also with Dr. Howe and Frank Sanborn, then the leading men in the Massachusetts Kansas Committee. In looking back on the inevitable confusion of that period, and the strange way in which men who had been heroic in danger grew demoralized in politics, I have often recalled as true the remark made by Sanborn, that it was difficult for a man to have much to do with the affairs of Kansas, even at long range, without developing a crack in his brain. It will doubtless seem to some readers a very natural transition to pass from this assertion to the later events which brought some of the above-named men into intimate relations with Captain John Brown. It has never been quite clear to me whether I saw him in Kansas or not; he was then in hiding, and I remember to have b

r, I should probably have gone on at once, to act at least temporarily as his counsel. A young man from Boston named Hoyt has gone on for this, and probably Montgomery Blair, of Washington, will be there to-day, to conduct the case. Of Frank Sanborn, one of the active participants in the Brown conspiracy, Mr. Higginson had written in 1855: We had a pleasant visit last week from the most interesting young man of the day, Frank Sanborn, a Senior at Cambridge, and editor of the HarvardFrank Sanborn, a Senior at Cambridge, and editor of the Harvard magazine. He is three inches above my head and very handsome, a person of great talent and noble character; and did you never hear of his romantic engagement, marriage, and bereavement? He is only twenty-three now. Worcester, November 5, 1859 Dearest Mother: . . Four days I spent in going to the Adirondacks for Mrs. Brown and then another in Boston about her affairs. It was a pleasant reward to be taken through that wonderful Notch, far finer than any road through the White Moun

and thinks they can resist invasion. Meanwhile it will be probably necessary for me to go out West again for several weeks [he had previously been sent to Chicago and St. Louis to aid emigrants] to the Nebraska border, and perhaps some way inside. But my mission will not be a very warlike one, and I have only the same general sense of possible danger that one has in setting foot in a ship or in the cars, or in running fast downstairs, or (if feminine) in meeting a drove of cows. .. . Frank Sanborn is to stop here to-morrow, safe back from the same ground I am going over. August 31 Some good news and some bad — the good being that our private advices state that things really are much better than is represented, in Kansas; the leading Missourians are making great efforts to raise men to invade, but find great reluctance to follow. They are considerably intimidated, in fact. The bad news (for you) is that I leave for Chicago to-morrow, shall go to Nebraska City and probably

which interest me; it is the daily life, sensations, and motives of these humble things. The birds are as real and absorbing to me as human beings. That kingfisher, for instance, who lives among the myriad birds and boys of the lake as lonely as an eagle on a mountain: no one ever finds his nest, no one sees him near his young, no one watches his flight or tracks his migration; yet every year he comes silently and fills the lake with his rattle. To-day went down under a gray sky with Sanborn to see a man go down in a submarine armor to inspect the new causeway; he looked like a gigantic lobster or (F. S. said) a teapot; and it was pretty to trace his subaqueous path by the bubbles coming to the surface. I wonder if in higher spheres they trace us so. October, 1861 Coming homeward, listened to my crickets with quiet delight. I may well call them mine, since no one else seems to notice their little ways. I find that to me works of art do not look like those of Nature

Worcester, June 29, 1858. I spoke in Springfield on Sunday, to the Spiritualists so called. My name was paraded in the streets in the largest capitals I ever had as the Rev. T. W. H. the eminent clergyman, popular author (!!) and eloquent lecturer. Directly over it were the remains of a theatrical handbill in large letters The Fool of the family. Describing a pilgrimage of young men to Concord, he says:— No one had any acquaintance with Mr. Emerson except a certain Frank Sanborn, a remarkable young poetic youth, formerly farmer and shoemaker, more than six feet high. . . . He is a Junior and one of those who walked to Watertown when I preached there. And again:— Last Friday night I went to Concord to an Anti-Slavery tea-party, where I spoke, together with the Lieut. Governor. Mrs. Emerson was there with her fine daughters—(R. W. E. being at the West) —Elizabeth Hoar, looking very noble—Thoreau and his, mother and sister, and many other people of mor

upon us an impression of unusual force and reserve. Only when I was seated beside Longfellow for the homeward drive, he mischievously remarked, Longfellow, I see that your horse has been down, at which the poet seemed a little discomfited. Mr. Sanborn, in the preface to his biography of Dr. Howe, says:— It has fallen to my lot to know, both in youth and in age, several of the most romantic characters of our century; and among them one of the most romantic was certainly the hero of theseily intended for the use of the blind, a circumstance which necessitated the printing of it in raised letters. As this process is expensive, and its results very cumbersome, economy of space becomes an important condition in its execution. Mr. Sanborn, not having suffered this limitation, and having had many documents at his disposal, has been able to add much interesting matter to what I was only able to give in outline. An even fuller biography than his will be published ere many years,
