Book excerpt: Excerpt from Albert Gallatin Dow, 1808-1908 At your request I give you some reminiscences of my life. Now that we are well within the year of my one hundredth anniversary, I will con ne myself particularly to those incidents that I think have some bearing on my longevity, only deviating to add interest for the younger members of our family. - A. G. D. My first recollection of anything, is of the ferry-boat crossing the Connecticut River when my father moved his family from Plainfield, N. H., to Hartland, Vt. I was born August 16, 1808, and we moved in May before I was three years old. I recollect many things of our home in Hartland - the large meadow running down to the Connecticut River; the house, a large white colonial building; the great room upstairs with its fireplace, and my sisters spinning by the light of pine knots while some one of the family read; the Masonic Lodge meeting in that room, where my father was the master. I remember of his going off to Indiana to look for a new home, and of his return; that on that trip he rode a very fine black mare of ours; she would not let any boy on her back, but my mother used to ride her.
