Stanton, then a young and fervid orator, who had won distinction in the anter kindliness of an inland climate. Accordingly he transferred his household and business to Seneca Falls, in the State of New York. The first Woman's Rights Convention (known to history by that name) was held July 19th and 20th, 1848, in the W.
