John Harrison Wilson, The life of Charles Henry Dana, Chapter 3: community life (search)
Dana, who wore no emotions on his sleeve, never forgot, and never in word, however much in conduct, repudiated Brook Farm. No abler or more sympathetic tribute has ever been paid to the association than was spoken by him at the University of Michigan on January 21, 1895. The charm of the life, the causes of failure, his own experiences, are all candidly and gracefully told. Mr. Ripley is mentioned with respect and cordiality. Where the treasure is there will the heart be also. Charles Dainitial influence which led to Dana's connection with the Tribune, and to the long personal and professional intimacy which grew up between these remarkable men. As a matter of interest, I have added in an appendix Page 517. the address on Brook Farm already mentioned, which was delivered at the University of Michigan in January, 1895.

Finally, on April 11, 1856, in almost his last letter from Washington, he explains most of his troubles as follows: My heart does not break easily, but these mail features are hard to bear. On Tuesday, Henry Waldron, of Michigan, made a glorious speech. He is one of our best men; never spoke before, and probably will not again. I sat down and wrote a telegraphic despatch about it, then a letter. Wednesday's paper came and no despatch. I wrote one of inquiry to you, and took it down to the office, when lo! they owned up that they had mislaid and failed to send the despatch till next morning! So the milk in that cocoanut was accounted for. Well, says I, the next paper will bring along my letter, anyhow ; but

Appendix: Brook Farm — an address delivered at the University of Michigan on Thursday, January 21, 1895: Mr. President, Ladies, and Gentlemen, Let me begin by saying that this is intended rather for a conversation than for a regular discourse, and I shall be very much obliged to any one of you who will interrupt me to ask any question or clear up any point that occurs to him. It is almost a subject of ancient history that we are going to consider. Few persons who are here can be familiar with the outlines of it, and there will naturally be a good many things that may be obscure. Let these be made plain, if possible, as we go along. About fifty years ago this country was the scene of an intellectual agitation that I do not think can be quite matched in history. It began with the antislavery movement, an attack upon an institution fortified by the Constitution of the United States, and connected with the great commercial interests of the country, amounting in pecuniary value
