TROWBRIDGE FAMILY.

PREFACE.

o>»;o

From about the year 1850 to 1854, considerable effort was
made to collect and arrange in tabular order the descendants of
Thomas Trowbridge in this country, who came from Taunton,
Somersetshire, England, to Dorchester, Mass., in 1636, aud
thence to New Haven soon after, for publication. Foremost
among those who interested themselves in this enterprise were
Thomas E. Trowbridge, of New Haven, Philo M. Trowbridge,
of Woodbury, Oonn., and Otis Trowbridge, of Newton, Mass.
As the result of their efforts, most of the descendants of Tliomas,
the oldest son of the settfer, in the male line, were collected by
the Eev. Wm. S. Porter, he being employed for that purpose by
Mr. Thomas E. Trowbridge, of New Haven. Many of the
descendants of William, Trowbridge, the second son of the
settler, were collected by Deacon Philo M. Trowbridge ; and of
the descendants of Deacon James Trowbridge, the youngest
son, several hundred were collected and printed in a pamphlet
of over thirty pages, in 1854. Here the matter rested, until in
the summer of 1869, when Mr. Thomas E. Trowbridge employed
the author (Mr. Porter having deceased,) to take the materials
collected and gather up such other records and facts as might
be found, and prepare a volume for publication. Accordingly,
the writer issued circulars to all of the connections whose resi
dences were known, and has written several hundred letters and
visited the most important localities where the earlier members
of the families resided, and collected what could be found in
town, parish, church and probate records, burial grounds and
family records. The list of descendants has been very much
extended by tracing the female branches to the third, and, in
some instances, to the fourth generation, and collecting all the
younger members of the family born since 1854.

TIIOWBRIDGB FAMILY.

While entire accuracy has been aimed at, and while I have
avoided all statements of facts or dates not based on good
evidence, yet undoubtedly some errors may be found, owing to
the fact that often discrepancies occur between dates furnished
by different members of the same family, and also between
different family records, as between family and town records
and ecclesiastical and probate records. In all these cases of
discrepancies I have acted according to the best of my judgment.
Some families, it is to be regretted, are not as fully given as
desirable, owing to indifference and backwardness in responding
to inquiries. As a general rule, however, the families addressed
have taken a li^¦cly interest in the enterprise, and promptly
furnished their records, as over four hundred received letters
testify. To name all who have rendered essential service in
furnishing materials for the work, would occupy an unreasonable
amount of space. Errors, of course, are to be expected in a
work where so many dates and figures occur, yet, with few
exceptions, we believe an accurate record has been given.
The author has endeavored to make the work as free from
intricacies as possible. The descendants of each of the three
children of the flrst settler are distinctly traced according to
their generations, and all are numbered from the beginning.
The marginal numbers give each descendant his place in the
order of descent, and the several head numbers in the middle of.
the pages, the marriages of such as have entered the family
relation, and, as far as possible, the names of their respective
partners, with their dates of marriage, and the decease of those
who have passed off' the stage.
A full index of the Christian names of all whose sirname is
Trowbridge, is furnished, the number of the individual being in
the left hand column, and the date of birth, where ascertained,
on the right ; also an Index of descendants bearing other names
than Trowbridge, with numbers and dates to correspond; and
also a list of those who have married into the Trowbridge
family, with the numbers of their respective partners in the left
hand column, and the date of marriage on the right.
¦ The author, in concluding the work, hopes it will be found
acceptable to the numerous members of the family, to whom it
is respectfully inscribed.

TROWBRIDGE FAMILY.

EXTRACTS FROM ENGLISH RECORDS REFERRING TO THE TROWBRIDGE
FAMILY.
The very ancient family of Trowbridge* derives its name from
its ancient inheritance, Trowbridge, in the Parish of Crediton,
in Devonshire, where it resided for many centuries, and which
was the property of Peter de Trowbridge, in the reign of Edward
the First. This Barton was-sold by the Trowbridge family, about
the year 1730, to Samuel Strode, Esquire, whose son conveyed it
to Giles Yard, .Esquire. It now (1853) belongs to Miss Elizabeth
Yard, one of his daughters and co-heiresses. Trowbridge house
is occupied by her Uncle, John Yard, Esquire.
The Manor of Loxbear, in the Parish of Loxbear, in Devon
shire, belonged, in the reign of Henry the Second, to the ancient
family of Avenell, whose co-heiresses brought it, in the time
of Henry the Sixth, to Trowbridge and Eichards. It seems to
have been vested, eventually, in the former, of whose descend
ants it was purchased, about the year 1600, by Daniel Scndmore,
Esquire. Pedigree of Trowbridge, of Trowbridge, in the Parish of Crediton,

10 TROWBRIDGE FAMILY.

Among the records, late of the Queen's remembrance, pre
served in the branch public Eecord Office, Carleton Eide, is an
inquisition post mortem, on Thomas Trowbridge of Devonshire.
By this it appears that he died, March 15, 1570, seized of Lox
bear, Tiverton and Calwodley in Washfield, Bycott and Easturn.
William, his son and heir, was eight years old at the time of his
father's death.

A younger branch of the Devonshire family of Trowbridge,
seems to have settled in Somersetshire, and we find them at
*Taunton in that county as early as 1541. Prom this branch
sprang the Trowbridges of America. That the Taunton family
were of that of Devonshire is sufficiently proved by the arms
being precisely the same as seen in the stained glass window
in the chancel of St. James Church, quartered with those of
Halliday. Viz : Arms — First and fourth sable, three Knight's helmets,
proper for Halliday.
Second and third — or on a bridge of three arches, in fesse,
gules, masonry sable, three streams, transfluent proper, a tower
of the second thereon, a fane argent, for Trowbridge.
Crest — A demi-lion rampant, or holding a foul anchor, sable.

ABSTRACTS OF WILLS PROVED AT TAUNTON, SOMERSETSHIRE.
The wills commence about the year 1538. The indexes are
very imperfect, and there are many chasms in the wills. Several
are so much eaten by insects and injured by dampness as to be
almost illegible.

EXTRACTS FROM A LETTER BY HENRY TROWBRIDGE, OF THE FIRM
OF HENRY TROWRIDGE'S SONS, NEW HAVEN, TO HIS OLDEST
BROTHER THOMAS OF THE SAME FIRM:
London, January 30, 1860.
I visited Taunton yesterday, etc.
Immediately on arriving there I went to "St. Mary Mag
dalen," ahd sent for the sexton, and inquired for the celebrated
tablet, the inscription of which you know. I asked him if he
could tell me where our revered ancestor was buried. He
could not ; for in the restoration of the church, all the vaults
were filled up and paved over. The original slabs over the
graves were, except as taken care of by descendants, all worked
over and placed in the pavement of the side aisles, and nearly all
so worn down by passing over them, as to be entirely defaced.
On one, the letters "TEOW," on one side, was distinct, but
nothing else, could be deciphered. The slab appeared to have
been cut in two, or reduced to conform in width to the rest of
the pavement. I think this was our ancestor's slab, but there is
nothing certain about it. After spending as long a time in and
about the church as was desirable, I inquired about the wardens,
and where the active or leading one lived. I found he was the
editor of the Taunton paper, and not far off, and so went in
search of him, and luckily found him at home, and sent up my
card. He soon made his appearance. I immediately told him I
was a, direct descendant from Thomas Trowbridge, whose good
deed was recorded in stone in St. Mary's. He seemed much
pleased to see me, and at once spoke of the charity as conferring
a blessing annually upon the poor. I, of course, was all anxiety
to know about it, so he brought out the book headed Trowbridge
Charit'y, in which the annual receipt and distribution is
recorded and balanced. There has never, from the day of
Thomas' death, been a failure to distribute the annual income
according to the spirit of the will, but not always to the letter.
For a long time the shillings were given to the poor without
calling them together in the church, as the will directs ; b^
Mr. May, the present acting warden, and for many years past, a
man of about your age and size, and with just your love and
veneration for the past, determined to restore the former usage
in exact conformity to the will, and did so ; so that now, on St.
Thomas' day, " the Poorest, Oldest, most Honest and Impotent
poor" of the parish of St. Mary Magdalene are assembled at the

TROWBRIDGE FAMILY. 31

church, except such as could not, when divine service is held and
a sermon preached to them, previous to which each one receives
a shilling ticket, and at the close receives from the Eector a
shilling on presenting the ticket, "when the donor's name is
mentioned, and the poor put in mind to thank God for his
mercy." The day is wholly given up to this distribution. Mr.
May says it is a most pleasing duty, and would have gratified
me beyond measure to have witnessed the last distribution, 31st
of December, and regretted exceedingly he did not know I was
so near, so as to have invited me to it. He says there are always
more applicants than the fund will supply. Many were eighty
years of age, hardly any below fifty, who participate. Any
surplus remaining over is given in loaves of bread to the most
deserving, in addition to the shilling piece. But a still greater
good results from the charity than the temporal relief. It is
that these aged and impotent poor who are prevented from
attending church, perhaps for the whole year, on this day hear.
the Gospel preached, expressly adapted to them, and under the
most impressive circumstances, as it comes with the charity
which warms and feeds them. The charity is one of five of a
similar character, but is the largest, and yielding now £30. Of
course I was all anxiety to see the land, which I learned was
about a mile from town. So Mr. May, leaving the Eector with
whom he was engaged, got into the carriage and drove with me
to it. The day was beautiful, a bright sun shining, and as we
halted in front of the lot, I thought I never saw so fair a field.
The largest of the two fields contains five acres, and very similar
to our large lot on the hill, except it rises gently from the high
way, instead of receding. It is surrounded with a hawthorn
hedge, one half in grass and half in cultivation. From an old
oak in the center of the lot, I gathered some dry leaves which
entwined it, one of which I send you. The oak is old enough
to have sheltered our progenitor from the noon day sun, as he
walked over his beautiful field. From the center I cut a small
^d, which I have in a box, and will endavor to carry safe to
you, so that there may be a marriage of the lands of the Thomas^
of 1614 and the Thomas of 1860. The other lot is separated
from the one first visited by a strip of land, contains one acre,
also lying on the highway. Both are precisely as they were
when the will was made in 1614, in bounds and meters.

22 TROWBRIDGE FAMILY. OJ"^
Is it not strange that a charity founded by will, more than two
hundred and forty^e years ago, at that time so insignificant,
should have continued, unimpaired, and at this day shedding a
fourfold blessing upon the poor, and for that space of time the
land remained in the same use as when the donor lived? I
could not but think, as the warden described the joy of the poor
in listening to the religious services, and afterwards, with tears,
receiving their share of the good man's bestowment, that in him
his descendants had been blessed. Mr. May said he was glad to
have a descendant to render his account to, and made a copy of
his last account, 1858. (That of 1859 was not closed in the
parish book.) I send you a copy of it :

Mr. May said the charge for tickets only occurred once in
several years. It is for the shilling ticket given to the poor
before the service, which they present at the close for the shil
ling. By the number you may judge of the number of applicants.
I have run hastily over the items, but have given you enough
to show you that your honored ancestor's will has been faithfully
carried out, and will be for centuries to come, thereby showing
how much encouragement there is for us all to leave a blessing
upon unborn generations.

TrowbrMg© Fsimily in America,
FIRST GENERATION. 1.
Thomas Trowbridge, the common ancestor of the Trow
bridges in America, emigrated from Taunton, Somersetshire,
England, to this country as early as 1636, as Mrs. Trowbridge
joined the church that year, and not improbably as early as
1634, and located at Dorchester, Mass. Thomas Jeffry, an
intimate friend of his, appears on the records of that town in
1634, from the same English locality. Mr. Trowbridge's young
est son was born there in 1636, and baptized in 1638. In an
assignment of land, June 3, 1634, recorded in the First Volume
of the Dorchester Eecords, is the following entry: "Thomas
Jeffrey to have the lot which was Mr. Eggleston's, by Mr.
Hartshorn's." Page 14, Vol. 1, April 15, 1635. "It is ordered
that Mr. Ifewbury and Mr. Wolcott shall have power to lay out
a yard for Thomas Jeffrey, where they shall think fit, near
Goodman Eandalls ; if so be, he use the same for a yard." In
the same vol., page 40, January 3, 1637, is the following entry:
" It is ordered that the parties underwritten shall have each of
them satisfaction in liew of the calves' pasture, from the burying
place towards John Phillips, Mr. Trobridge, 1 acre." Same date,
" It is ordered that Mr. Trobridge have two acres of marsh, in
Mr. Ludlow's neck, where it is out of propriety." Again, vol. 1,
page 44, March 18, 1637, " The proportion which each man is to
have in the neck, according to estate and number of persons, Mr.
Trobridge, 7 acres, 1 rood, 30 rods." " The proportion of town
pasture and other lands this side the river, 7 acres, 1 rood, 30
rods." The year after the foregoing assignments of land the fol
lowing entries occur in the Dorchester Eecords, page 56 of vol.
1 : " It is ordered that Mr. Clark have liberty to take in four
rods of land, next his pale, towards the meeting house, which is
near the barn that was lately Mr. Trowbridge's." Page 63, vol. 1,
October 31, 1638, "It is ordered that Mr. Jones shall have one
acre of land, near his own, in liew of an acre which he bought

34 TROWBRIDGE family.

of Mr. Trobridge, which was appointed .him." He, undoubt
edly, removed the latter part of the same year, or early in 1639,
to New Haven, with the early settlers there, as did also his friend
Jeffry. He appears to have spent but little time in this country,
but continued his traffick, making voyages between Barbadoes
and England. His name does not appear at the organization of
the Church or Body Politic of 'New Haven, in 1639. The evi
dence of his residence there is the fact that he owned a house
and lot, and his three sons were there, under the care of his
servant or steward, Henry Gibbons, who appears to have given
but little attention to his master's affairs, or children ; for, as
early as November, 1641, Mr. Trowbridge's property was attached
for the payment of rates and debts. ' In November, 1643, he
had cattle going at large. In 1643 he is recorded among the
planters, with a family of five — himself, wife and three ^ons,
and rated as a basis for taxation and distribution of lands
belonging to the proprietors, at £500. Governor Eaton was
rated at £3,000, and nine other individuals at £1,000 each. In
February, 1644, Mr, Cheever was allowed £4 3s. 6d. for teaching
Mr. Trowbridge's children. He returned probably the latter
part of that year to England, leaving his " three sons, houses,
goods, lots, estates and chattels, in trust, with Gibbons," as
aforesaid, and never came back to America. In consequence
of Gibbons' neglect of the trust confided to him, "Sergeant.
Thomas Jeffries took these three sons to educate and bring up
in the fear of the Lord, and, when Mr. Trowbridge comes back,
will leave it with the court to determine what is equal for it."
On December 8, 1645, in consequence of the remissness of Gib
bons, Mr. Trowbridge's estate was attached to satisfy creditors,
and Mr. Evance took the house, which was going to decay, at
£100, and agreed with the creditors and asked for the cellar. In
October, 1647, Mr. Evance sold Henry Gibbons Mr. Trowbridge's
lot, at West Eiver, and in May, 1648, Gibbons accepted £10 on a
debt of £30, claimed as due, as his charges were not well sub
stantiated. Affairs remained thus until the sons came of age.
Mr. Trowbridge wrote often from England to his sons and the
authorities of New Haven to bring Gibbons to an account for
¦his breach of trust. He finally, on January 14, 1664, sent to
bis three sons a power of attorney to recover his property
from Gibbons, or wherever found, to be retained, and equally
divided between them, (vide Appendix C,) and bring the said

TROWBRIDGE FAMILY. 35
Gibbons to account and punishment. As matters were found,
a settlement could not easily be effected before Mr. Trowbridge's
death, which took place at Taunton, February 7, 1673. In
1680, Gibbons, for " sundry good causes best known to myself,"
made over to Thomas Trowbridge, the eldest son, his house and
lot, and sundry other property, including " the bed and bolster I
lie on." Gibbons died in 1686, and as his brother, William
Gibbons, refused to take out letters of administration, said
Thomas Trowbridge was appointed administrator ; and as said
Henry Gibbons had no children, the matter was concluded.
The sons, after attaining their majority, became men of
influence, and acquired large estates.
We have, unfortunately, no definite knowledge of Mrs. Trow
bridge, having no record of her maiden name, or of the date of
her marriage or death. Her decease, probably, occurred before
the return of her husband to England.

pany were taken prisoners. He was a prisoner nearly two years,
a part of the time on Long Island, and the remainder in the
" Old Sugar House," in Liberty street, which was removed but a
few years ago. It was his unwillingness to yield to the wishes of
of his captors that caused him to be detained so long a prisoner,
as an officer of equal rank was frequently offered in exchange.
The British demanded that he should not again take up arms
against them, a consideration to which he would not agree. On
the contrary, he told them that as soon as he should get his
liberty, he would '• be at them again." His imprisonment was
much easier than it would have been had not his wife sold her

plate, and found means to forward him the money to Long Is
land, with which he purchased many privileges that were denied
to other prisoners. Upon his release he returned to New Haven,
and after waiting some time for a major's commission, which had
been promised him, he became impatient, repaired to Boston,
and taking out letters of marque, commenced a warrior's life
upon the sea. After remaining in this calling awhile, he again
returned to New Haven. A company of citizens had fitted out .
a vessel for the .West Indies, which was upon the point of sailing
when the British cruisers made their appearance. The vessel
was taken above the bridge, and shot fired at her, in order to sink
her, and thereby prevent her falling into the enemy's hands,
when, by some accident, she took flre and burnt to the water's
edge. The hull was soon after raised, built into a brig, and fltted
out for a trading voyage to Holland, and Mr. Trowbridge put in
command. She was well armed, and took several prizes. She
made. two voyages to Amsterdam in the most exciting period in
the war, when the ocean was covered with British cruisers, in
search of French, Spanish, Dutch and American vessels. The
name of this little vessel was The Fire Brand, from the circum
stance of her having been built from a burned hull."
The following anecdote of Mr. Trowbridge, strongly illustrates
his flrmness and decision of character : —
" Before the war Trowbridge and Arnold had some account
together, the settlement of which led to a dispute. They parted,
Arnold saying, " You meet me to-morrow morning at — o'clock,
(naming the hour) and we will settle it." Mr. Trowbridge sup
posed him to be joking, and thought no more of it. Early the
next morning he was called from his bed by two gentlemen, who
requested to see him on particular business, and when informed
that Arnold had repaired to the spot designated by him the day
previous, he was much surprised, but expressed his determination
to meet. Nor were entreaties to dissuade him from it of any
avail. Upon repairing to the swamp, just west of the present
residence of Dr. Totten, he found Arnold waiting for him. He
advanced towards him, when Arnold drew two pistols, and told
him to choose one of them. He was much sui-prised, but not
frightened, and without giving time to Arnold to guard himself,
rushed upon him and wrenched both pistols from him, throwing
them into the creek, and told him to go home; an order which
he was not long in performing."
He died December 14, 1799, aged 53.

Captain Eosewell Trowbridge, son of Newman and

January 6, 1813, Nancy Hayes, daughter of Ezekiel Hayes.
He was a mariner, and lived in a cottage in Meadow street.
" While pursuing his vocation as captain during the war of
1813, on a voyage from New Haven to St. Bartholomew, then a
neutral port, in the West Indies, some four days after sailing
from New Haven, was captured by a British vessel of war, on
board of which was the admiral of the fleet. Captain T. was
ordered on board of the frigate with his papers. His vessel was
laden with a general assortment of American produce and a
deck load of oxen and sheep. The admiral, on ascertaining
Captain T.'s name, claimed that he was a British subject, but,
on being assured that he was born in America, he did not press
his claim in that respect ; but from the fact of his name being
the same as that of the old admiral, with whom he had formerly
sailed and fought under, he treated him very kindly, and
although he would have been justified in making his vessel and
cargo a lawful prize, he paid him, liberally, for all his stock and
what produce he took, which he transferred to his own ship,
and wheu Captain Trowbridge, finally, separated from him,
sent a boat loaded with delicacies and many things valuable as
a token of his respect. Captain Trowbridge, immediately,
sailed for New Haven, where he arrived in eight days after leav
ing the post, to the surprise and ill forbodings of his friends,
they supposing he had lost everything by capture. Captain t!
was a universal favorite with all who made his acquaintance at
home or abroad. In his long experience as a sea-faring man,
many incidents occurred which are interesting to his friends.
At one time he had, safely, arrived with a valuable cargo at the
Island of Guadaloupe. On the night of his arrival a violent

TROWBRIDGE FAMILY. 65
hurricane arose, which destroyed a large portion of the town,
and drove every vessel to sea or on to the shore, and there was a
great loss of life among the seamen. He early, anticipating the
gale, put to sea, but soon after his vessel was capsized, and for a
long time remained thus, but finally righted with the loss of her
masts and most of her rigging and spars. After the gale abated,
he discovered that he was near the Island of St. Domingo, which
he soon after reached. For months he had to remain there
without being able to communicate with his friends. Nearly all
of his crew, which had escaped death by the gale, died of yellow
fever, but Captain T., by his skill and perseverance, made new
masts and so fitted up his vessel as to enable him to sail for New
Haven, where he arrived, after six months' absence, and his
return was, to his friends and family, a cause of great rejoicing,
as he was supposed to have been lost in the hurricane.''

TROWBRIDGE FAMILY. 69

36f ^

Henry Trowbridge, son of Eutherford and Dorcas (Hitch
cock) Trowbridge, born July 30, 1781. At the age of 18 years,
in common with a large number of New Haven lads at that time,
turned his attention to the sea. Fabulous accounts were current
of the various customs of foreign countries, and there was an
almost universal desire, on the part of the boys, to visit those
countries. To become a seaman and command a vessel was a
laudable ambition. Just at that time a ship was fitting out for
the Pacific Ocean on a sealing voyage. Having obtained per
mission of his father for the voyage, be made application for
a situation on board the ship. He was successful. It was no
easy thing to obtain a situation on one of those voyages. In due
time the ship was ready. His father had such confidence in his
son, that he gave him what ready money he had (which was
scarce in the family at that time), about 11000 in specie, to in
vest in China, where the ship was eventually to proceed. Em
barking on board, September 17, 1799, his career commenced in
the ship Betsey, William Howell, master, for the Pacific Ocean
and China. Captain Howell was a man that felt responsibility
for those under his command, and immediately commenced a
school on board of the ship. The boys were all expected to at
tend to their studies as a part of their duties on ship board.
Henry was acquainted with arithmetic, and soon made such pro
ficiency in navigation, that, by the time the ship arrived off Cape
Horn, he could work his lunar observation as speedily as the cap
tain. It was customary, at that date, to serve out grog to all on
board. Henry used none, but drawing his regular rations, he
soon had a large supply, and by furnishing it to the old sailors,
they gave him in return instruction in sailor's work, as splicing,'
knotting, reefing, etc. Thus, in a few months, he was well in
structed in all the duties on board, and could take his regular
trick at the wheel. The crew was to seal at Massafuero, the ship
lyiug off and on, there being no anchorage at the island. On
one of the boat's trips to the shore she capsized, and of the four
boys who manned her, three were drowned. Young Henry alone
was saved by swimming nearly two miles to the island. After
several months at the island, 110,000 fur seal skins had been put
on board, and the ship sailed for Canton, where the skins were to
be disposed of (visiting the Saudwich Islands, where they dare
not anchor for fear of the natives) for supplies. The vessel lay

70 TROWBRIDGEFAMILY.

off and on for several days. The king came on board, and sup
plied provisions in exchange for such articles as were required
on the island. The king was so unsophisticated that he sat flat
on the deck and took his sea biscuit and cup of molasses. This
was about twenty years after the murder of Captain Cook at the
same island. After supplying the ship the voyage was continued
to Canton. Studies were continued on this passage again. On
arriving at the anchorage. Captain Howell sent for Henry to
come to the cabin. I'his was a place unknown and unvisited
during the entire voyage. What was wanted of him he could not
imagine ; but soon Captain Howell inquired, " How would you
like to go up to Canton with me ? " Captain Howell, as was cus
tomary at that time, was to take a factory and dispose of his
cargo, and buy a cargo of tea, etc., for a return voyage. Henry, not
knowing what position he was to occupy, said he preferred to
remain in the ship. Said the captain, " I have noticed your good
conduct and sobriety on board, and your acquaintance with
mathematics, and I want a clerk to assist me in taking an ac
count of the cargoes, and keeping the books." Henry readily
saw that this was such duty as would suit, and he eagerly ac
cepted the offer, and he saw the advantage it would give him for
investing his father's money. The captain told him to get ready
to go with him. He did not delay. He was shortly ready, and
taking his usual place at the oar, the captain addressed him, —
" Mr. Trowbridge, come aft, you will let a sailor take the oar."
This was done some 15 or 30 miles below Canton, at Macao,
ships not being permitted to approach nearer to the city. Ar
riving at Canton, he was installed as Clerk of the Factory. This
was the beginning of his life as a merchant, and which he never
lost sight of in after years. The cargo was disposed of; a return
cargo procured, and sent with the ship. During his residence at
Canton he determined to get within the walls of the city.
Foreigners had never been permitted there up to that time.
Filling his pockets with the small currency of the country, he
went up to the gates, and at the time they were opened he, with
another young man of his own age, belonging to another factory,
rushed in and up the principal street. Soon there was a great
out-cry in the unintelligible language of the country, and im
mense throngs of Chinese blocked up the way, front and rear.
They saw they could not progress farther, nor could they get
back ; but by use of their money, throwing handfuls as far as

TROWBRIDGE FAMILY. 71
possible, and in the scramble for it, gradually retreating, they got
out safe. This was in 1801, and about as early as any foreigners
had got into the city. After the ship was loaded the captain,
with Henry, returned on board; the mate of the ship immedi
ately saluted Henry, by saying, " Off with those shore duds, and
resume duty as a sailor." This was done ; — to hear on board that
ship was to obey. Stowing his adventure in his bei;th, in the
forecastle, he slept on top of his chest for the remainder of the
voyage ; arid that chest is now preserved as an heir-loom in the
family. On the passage home the ship struck a rock, in the
Straits of Malacca, and injured her rudder, so that it was neces
sary to remain there to repair. During this time excursions
were made to Malacca for water, and after several hair-breadth
escapes from the natives, the water was procured, and the ship
sailed for New York ; arriving safely, making a grand voyage,
the adventure of Henry resulting in the doubling of his money
invested in Canton. On the return of the ship his services were
wanted as flrst officer of a West Indiaman. Making several
voyages, he accumulated sufficient in three years to purchase a
small sloop in Connecticut Eiver; and fitting her up as a
schooner, with the assistance of a Mr. Morris, who was interested
in the voyage, loaded her for the West Indies ; took charge of
her as captain, and sailed for Barbadoes, as a market, with forty
oxen on deck. Just before the vessel was ready for sea he was
taken sick ; but seeing ruin before him if the voyage was broken
up, he was carried on board on a mattrass, and the vessel sailed.
After a somewhat lengthy passage, arriving at Barbadoes, he
learned that Miranda's expedition was fitting out at Trinidad for
the Spanish Main, and thinking that they would require his
cattle, he sailed at once, and arriving just in tirae, sold them for
a large price, for the expedition, and the rest of his ca ¦:^o for a
round sum ; loaded a return cargo of sugar and mol ses, and
bringing more Spanish dollars home than his outw rd cargo
cost, he arrived safe, making a great voyage. He then established
himself in business, employing the vessel in the West India trade.
He increased this West India business from time to time, and
founding the House of H. Trowbridge and Son ; H. Trowbridge,
Sous and Dwight, — and afterwards H. Trowbridge and Sons.
And at his death, his sons, in memory of their father, continued
it under the name of Henry Trowbridge Sons, in the same
business.

"DEATH OF HENRY TROWBRIDGE, ESQ.
" We regret to be obliged to announce, to-day, the death of
Henry Trowbridge, Esq., one of our elderly and substantial citi
zens, — a lineal descendant of one of the proprietors of the town ;
for a long period the head of one of the largest shipping houses
in the State, and widely known to commercial men throughout
the country and, to a considerable extent, abroad. He was a prudent
* Bzekiel Hayes, descended from George Hayes, who came from ScoOand to Derbyshire,
m England. He was anxious to see London, whither he went, and having received some
statements in regard to America, came to this country. He marriedr and had three
children. His wife and children having died, he afterwards married, as hia second wife,
Abigail Dibbal, ot Long Island, and removed to Windsor, Connecticut, in 1683. By his second
marriage he had ten children. The tradition in regard to the name of Hayes is this : " The
.name of Hayes began of valor. There was war between the Scotch and Irish. Hayes, the
ancestor of the family, was ploughing and harrowing with his sons in the fleld. The Scots
were retreating from the Irish, and passed by where Hayes and his sons were at work. He said
to his sons, 'Pull your hai-roW and plough to pieces and flght.' They engaged, and beat
the Insh. While the father was sitting down to rest himself, the king passed by and ob
served him, and said, ' your name shall be Hayes. ' He tlien gaVe him a large tract of land
for his valor. Therefore tho coat of arms for Hayes shall be a plough aud harrow, aud a
battle-field." Communicated by a descendant.

and sagacious merchant, and, by means of his talent and his
wealth, exercised a great influence in our community. He was
rather strong in his prejudices, and when he had taken a stand,
whether it happened to be a popular or unpopular position, he,
believing it to be right, was immovable in it. For this reason he
was strongly opposed by a portion of his fellow citizens — but
whether right or wrong in his views, his opponents, we believe,
never doubted the honesty of his intentions and the integrity of
his character. We have met with Mr. Trowbridge on many oc
casions, during the last twenty years, and have combatted some
of his opinions, and opposed some of his measures, but in all
such differences we, never experienced anything but kindness and
courtesy at his hands. We have always regarded him as our
friend, and in this we are sure we have not been mistaken ; and
we doubt not that there are hundreds who can speak as con
fidently in the same way. Mr. Trowbridge was a member of the
Center Church, of which the Eev. Dr. Bacon is pastor, and we
have always understood that he was among the most liberal in
his gifts for the spread of the Gospel and other religious and
charitable causes. We understand that he has left several hand
some bequests to the different benevolent and religious societies
of the day. Those who know with what peculiar fondness he
regarded his family, and how devoted he ever was to their wel
fare and happiness, will appreciate the nature of the affliction
that has fallen upon them, — but here we may be trespassing be
yond our province, and we venture no farther.
The departure of so prominent and active a citizen and mer
chant will create a void that will be noticed with sorrow for a
long time to come. His sickness was of two week's continuance,
during which he suffered but little, and his mind, up to the hour
of death, retained that vigor which characterized him while in
health. Through his sickness he was sustained by the consola
tions of the religion, of which he had long been a professor, and
his death was peaceful and happy."

(From the New York Independent^
" Death of Henry Trowbridge, Esq., who died on the 7th in
stant, aged 68. He was widely known as the senior partner of
the first commercial house in his native city. For many years
past his firm— H. Trowbridge and Sons— has been frequently

74 TROWBRIDGE FAMILY.
spoken of as the head of the West India business in the United
States. Two hundred years ago, Avhen the settlers of New Haven
began to establish commercial relations with the West India Islands,
his first American ancestor was engaged in the same business.
From his early youth Mr. Trowbridge was closely attached to the
Church in which his ancestors worshipped, and in which he him
self had been presented to God in baptism by parental piety.
Forty years ago, ivhen he had never made any religious profes
sion, his house was in affliction. His wife was on the bed of sick
ness, and their first-born, and only child, was near to death. He
sent for his pastor (the now venerable Professor Stuart), and re
quested that the child might be baptized. The request was de
clined, ' You,' said the pastor to the parents, ' make no profession,
and exhibit no evidence of having given yourselves to God ; what
will it be then more than a solemn but empty form for you to
offer your child in baptism ? ' Some parents, in such circum
stances, would immediately go to another church; but these
parents took a different course. On that day, they resolved, and
pledged themselves to each other, that they would seek the king
dom of God. On that day the father, for the first time, by the
mother's bed-side, lifted up his voice in prayer, and from that
day, to the day of his death, prayer was habitually offered in their
dwelling. Though for more than thirty years afterwards he felt
that his religious character was not sufficiently clear to justify
him in making a religious profession, his family was thence for
ward a religious family ; and few families have been happier, or
have shared more largely in the blessings of the covenant. The
sagacity and energy of Mr. T., as a man of business, and the suc
cess of all his undertakings, were proverbial. It was remarked
that his ships always made prosperous voyages, and that seeming
reverses generally turned in his favor. In his family, too, he
seemed to be exempted from those calamities which come to all.
But, during the last season, he has been made acquainted with
affliction. His.onjy brother, who had been for more than thirty
years his next door -neighbor, died at a moment's notice. Three
of his grand-children were taken away, two of them in circum
stances pecuhariy afflicting. At last sickness came nearer still,
his wife and his youngest daughter were brought simultaneously to
the brink of death. Tliey were spared, but before they had be
gun to recover, the fatal disease had fastened upon him. Doubt
less these successive strokes of affliction were necessary to prepare

TROWBRIDGE FAMILY. 75
him for the closing scene. That they had that effect was obvious
to all that saw him. Having arranged all his secular affairs at
the commencement of his sickness, he dismissed the world en
tirely from his thoughts, and waited for the will of God. When
it appeared at last that he must die, he gave his parting farewells
and counsels to his children and grand-children, and then, calmly,
cheerfully, and with an humble reliance on the Saviour, yielded
himself to death. For many years he had been a regular con
tributor to many of our religious charities. In his last will he
bequeathed to the American Board of Foreign Missions $5,000, to
the American Home Missionary Society $5,000, to the Bible So
ciety $3,000, to the Tract Society $3,000, to the Seamen's Friend
Society $3,000, to the First Church, in New Haven, for the use
of the poor, $3,000, with other charitable bequests, amounting in
all to more than $30,000."

died at Eacine, Wisconsin, May 3, 1858, in the 78th year of his
age. The following obituary notice of him appeared at the time of
his decease in the New Haven Journal :
" Captain Trowbridge was one of our town born, and will be
remembered by the older portion of our citizens as master of the
ship Thomas, of this port, captured off the Isle of France, by a
British squadron, which, after taking from the ship all hands,
except Captain Trowbridge, Mr. Charles Peterson, the father of
Charles Peterson, Esq., of this city, who was brother-in-law and
first officer of Captain Trowbridge, and Benjamin Applewhite,
the cook, put a prize crew of twenty-one men on board, and ordered
her to the Cape of Good Hope as a prize. On the passage. Cap
tain Trowbridge and Mr. Peterson planned her recapture, and
succeeded in their design, and proceeded to Madagascar, where
they put the prize crew of English on shore, having induced
some Lascars, composing a portion of the prize crew, to join
them as seamen after the recapture of the ship. Here the ship
was captured again by a Frenth frigate, under " the Berlin and
Milan" decrees, and sent to the Isle of France. The French
Governor restored the ship and part of the cargo to Captain
Trowbridge. While lying there the island was taken by the

TROW' BRIDGE FAMILY.

British. Captain Trowbridge succeeded in selling the ship and
cargo, to avoid confiscation, and made his escape to Batavia.
After an eventful period of a year or two there, and a most
daring enterprise on the coast of New Holland, where he re
covered, by the aid of divers, upwards of $350,000 in specie
from a sunken wreck, he was again captured, Avith all his specie,
by his old enemies, the British, being taken by a frigate and
carried to Java, and afterwards to Calcutta, where he was im
prisoned in the famous Black Hole of that city. ' Finally he was
taken to England, as a prisoner of war, and confined in Dart
moor prison, where he was at the time of the massacre of April
6, 1815. On the news of peace. Captain T. was released, on the
10th of April, and arrived at New York, June 5, 1815, having
been absent five and a half years.
Fond of enterprise, he removed to the West, and settled at
Eochester in 1816, where he was for many years at the head of
the well known commercial house of John T. Trowbridge &
Co. After accumulating an ample fortune, the vicissitudes of
life again followed him in the loss of property, and, in 1836, he
removed to Eacine County, Wisconsin, whei'e he has since re
sided, surrounded by his family and mauy friends, enjoying the
veneration and respect of all. We doubt if a more eventful
history could be written of any person than of Captain Trow
bridge. He was a brave, generous and honest man, in faith and
practice a Christian. During all the trials and vicissitudes of
life, he maintained a good profession. On his removal to the
West, almost a wilderness, (the' country, where he was, being
destitute of the means of worship in the sanctuary,) it was his
practice to hold religious services at his oavu house, and to which
the people for miles distant resorted for worship, until the •
couiltry became settled. He died peaceful and happy, in assur
ance of a blessed immortality." CHILDREN.

the family for several successive generations, who have thereby
acquired wealth and extensive influence among their fellow-
citizens. The various objects of public welfare and of Christian
benevolence, have shared largely in his benefactions and personal
influence. As an evidence of the esteem in which he is held
by his fellow-citizens of New Haven, and throughout the State,
the State Eepublican Committee made choice of him as candi
date for Lieutenant-Governor of Connecticut, with the Honora
ble William A. Buckingham for Governor, in 1858, an honor
which he possitively and persistenly declined, much to the cha
grin of the party. Had he accepted the nomination, he would
have been triumphantly elected, as the ticket on which he was
offered the nomination succeeded by an overwhelming majority,
and held the ground for nine successive years. At the breaking
out of the war Mr. Trowbridge threw his whole soul into the
cause of liberty, and although too far advanced in life to actively
enter the field, he aided in sustaining the government in every
possible way by his influence and wealth.
When the 10th Connecticut Eegiment of Volunteers broke
camp, with orders to proceed to their rendezvous, a beautiful
State flag was presented to them by Mr. Trowbridge, made ex
pressly for the regiment by his wife and daughter. He after
wards presented flags to several Connecticut Eegiments, and
swords to numerous officers, and was the first to provide a flag,
which was raised and kept flying on the steeple of the Center

Church. He was one of the most active citizens, in New Haven,
in forming the Sanitary Commission, and contributed greatly to
its success by pecuniary assistance as well as personal service.
When the time arrived in that great struggle to maintain the
life of the nation, that rendered a draft necessary to furnish sol
diers for the army, on the very day of the draft, when a crowd,
numbering from three to five thousand, assembled at the North
Portico of the State House, in New Haven, a citizen's meeting
was organized, with Mr. Trowbridge for chairman. Prominent
citizens immediately came forward with offers of money for the
encouragement of volunteers. Different individuals offered $15
each for a volunteer, some pledging that amount a-piece for
several men. Mr. Trowbridge stood at the head of that noble
list, which contributed sufficient to raise the requisite number of
men without a draft, he offering $15 a-piece for thirty men — and
at half-past 4 p. m. it was announced that the quota for New
Haven was filled, when nine tremendous cheers from the assem
bly burst forth, and the crowd separated for their homes. Mr.
Trowbridge manifested the same unfaltering zeal in the cause of
liberty until victory crowned the Union arms. He has always
manifested a taste for historical researches; was one of the
founders of the New Haven County Historical Society, and con
tributed an important article to the first volume of its collections,
being an History of the Construction of the Long Wharf, in New
Haven. He was also the projector of this Family History, and
the entire race of Trowbridges, in this country, are indebted to
him for having furnished the pecuniary means to defray the ex
penses of preparing and publishing this volume. It is but just
to remark further that Mr. Trowbridge has been, through life,
one of the most efficient supporters of the First Ecclesiastical
Society of New Haven, and is a valued member of the First Con
gregational Church.

(Extract from " Connecticut 'in the War,")
" Of private benefactors, one of the earliest and most thought
ful, was Thomas E. Trowbridge, of New Haven, who, before a
company was yet formed, offered five hundred dollars for the
support of the families of volunteers; thus beginning a course of
unstinted liberality, which he continued throughout the struggle,
and initiating that great patriotic charity, which continued by

The following, with other notices, appeared in the New Haven papers at the tirae of his
decease : — (From tlie Neio Haven Conner, December %tth, 1867.)
" Another of our venerable citizens has passed away. Captain Simeon Hoadley died in
this city on the 26th instant, aged 87)^ years. Captain Hoadley was born in Northford, in
this county, the 4th day of July, 1780. When a mere boy, of fourteen years of age, he left
his father's home, and, as was customary with so many boys of that day, went to sea. He
made his iirst voyage from Guilford to the West Indies ; Guilford, at that time, being
largely engaged in the West India trade. He rose rapidly in his profession, and at the age
of 21 comraanded a vessel. He continued a most skillful and successful shipmaster aud
owner of vessels, and was for many years engaged in the Southern trade, and also made
several voyages to Russia and other parts of Europe, as well as South America and the
West Indies. At the age of 45, satisfied with his accumulations, he relinquished his pro
fession. He has resided in this city for more than 60 years, and our citizens well remem
ber his erect and stalwart form, as daily seen in our streets. He possessed that strict in
tegrity which marked his ancestors. He was an upright, conscientious, unostentatious and
strictly honest man. Thus another of the links that connect us with the past age has been
broken, and younger raen are pressed forward into the elder ranks. Captain Hoadley en
joyed unbroken health during his long life, and now, after a few weeks' illness, at the
command of the Master, has embarked on his last voyage, which has no ending. The
funeral will take place from his late residence, this Tuesday afternoon, at two o'clock."

a ship, trading between Newport, Ehode Island and London.
Charles Wager, who afterwards became Sir Charles, Admiral in

Captain Hull that he learned that nautical skill, as well as that
rigid integrity and upright honor, which has made his name,
deservedly, famous." It was for gallant action while with Capt
Hull, on a voyage to London, in destroying a privateer, that, on
his arrival, in London, he was recommended to and obtained an
advantageous place in the British Navy. The warmest friend
ship between Captain Hull and Sir Charles Wager continued
until the death of the former. Sir Charles Wager died May 34,
1743, and was buried in Westminster Abbey. For six genera-

Mr. Trowbridge, is a member of the well-known firm of Henry
Trowbridge's Sons, in New Haven, has travelled extensively in
Europe, and distinguished himself for his researches relative to
the history of the Trowbridge family, in England, and also by
various acts of Christian benevolence. It was in the month of
January, 1860, that he visited Taunton, in Somersetshire, the
birth-place and early home of Thomas Trowbridge, the ancestor
of those bearing the name in this country, of which a detailed
account is given in a letter to his elder brother, Thomas, in the
introductory part of this work. Among his recent acts of
munificence is a gift of four thousand dollars to the Yale Theo
logical Seminary, for the establishment of a Library of Eeference,
as a memorial of a beloved son, who died December 3, 1869, aged
7 years. He could not have chosen a better method to make his
name hallowed among the wise and good of our land to the
latest generation. The following brief notice of this donation
appeared in a number of the Yale Courant in 1870 : —
"Among the. other attractions of the new building of the
Theological Department of the College, is the spacious and beau
tiful library room, opened yesterday, which has been fitted up in
parlor style, and furnished with a complete theological reference
library, by the munifience of Henry Trowbridge, Esq., of New
Haven, in memory of a promising son, who was taken from him
in December last. The whole sum given for this purpose
amounts to four thousand dollars. The idea of such a library
was borrowed from the British Museum, in the reading room of
which are placed the books most frequently called for in every
department of knowledge, which those admitted to its use can

take from the shelves and consult or study in the room at their
leisure. This great advantage will now be given to the students
in the theological department, who will be almost as much
favored as if each had such a library in his own room. About
half of the books ordered are already on the shelves, and the re
mainder are expected soon. They consist of the latest and best
books needed for theological study, such as lexicons, in various
languages, encyclopedias, Bible dictionaries, works on the litera
ture, geography and the original text of the Bible, ancient ver
sions and modern, translations of the Scriptures, critical commen
taries on the Old and New Testaments, works on psychology,
ethics, natural theology, translations of the early Christian
fathers. Church history in all ages, the history of doctrines, works
on homiletics, pastoral theology, and the best sermons of all
times and countries. There are also a few of the best works on
history and general literature." " In founding such a library
Mr. Trowbridge has rendered a service to the interests of the
Theological Department which cannot fail to add largely to its
working power, and which, its Alumni and friends throughout
the country now, and for a long time to come, will be sure to re

TROWBRIDGE FAMILY

Mr. Trowbridge has long been known in the mercantile world
as a merchant of more than ordinary acquirements; compre
hensive in his views, quick to perceive, skill to plan, great and
untiring energy to execute, he is thus never at a. loss to act in
any emergency in business. Entering into the counting house
of his father at the age of fifteen years, he had the advice and
advantage of his father's great business knowledge and expe
rience, and was thus early pushed forward ih business, the motto
and watchword of his father being " Do something yourself, and
if not as well done as by men of experience, and thereby mis
takes and errors occur through inexperience of young men, yet
it is wisdom well earned, and if mistakes are sometimes made
they will thus learn to avoid them the next time ; in this way a
practical knowledge of business is gained that can scarcely be
acquired in other ways."
Accordingly the sons were very early intrusted with business
transactions of importance, not only at home, but in neighbor
ing states ; a practical knowledge and self reliance was obtained
by the young men, which in subsequent years was of great im
portance. Ezekiel was sent to the West Indies, long before the age of
twenty-one years, to transact important business of the firm,
and subsequently, before that age, was placed in sole charge
thereof at one of the Islands for a period of about one j^ear.
In this very practical manner the father educated his four
sons who at his death succeeded to the business, and which laid
the foundation of their success. Ezekiel profited well by this
early instruction and -work, and thus has been able to make his
mark in the business world. Connected with his father and
three brothers for many years, he has held a prominent and
important part of the business, and possessed of vigorous health
he has devoted a life-time to business in which he has been
eminently successful, thus setting an example to his junior

TROWBRIDGE FAMILY'.

partners, and young men generally of the present age, that
strict attention to business, combined with intelligence and
such acquirements as are within the reach of all at the present
day will lead to success.
A prominent member of the firm, he still pursues his busi
ness with all the ardor and energy of his earlier years. By
great system in his business habits, he has found time to
attend to his investments, and connected as he has been for
several years, in the direction of incorporations, among which
may be named the New York and New Haven Eailroad, and
other Eailroad Companies, and the Second National Bank of
New Haven, it is not too much to say that his experience and
business knowledge has been valued by his associates, and con
ducive to the prosperity of those companies.
He has not, however, had a life of unalloyed happiness ;
bereaved by death of an only and beloved daughter at the age
of eighteen years, under circumstances peculiarly afflictive, she
being at school in a neighboring State, sickened so severely
that her parents, summoned to her bedside, were unable to
convey her home, and thus she passed away. Again affliction
came upon them by the death of their youngest son "Bertie,"
of seven years ; he was suddenly taken aM^ay after a short ill
ness, death in either case being very unexpected. Once more
affliction came; the young wife of his eldest son was taken
away in the bloom of youth. Thus, notwithstanding great
temporal prosperity in business, he has sorely tasted " Life's
Sorrows." Still not cast down, he has resolutely summoned his energies,
and pursued the even tenor of his way.
This tribute to his brother is rendered by the one connected
in business with him for thirty-seven years, and under whose
auspices this book is published, and subsequently inserted herein
without the knowledge of any person except the writer and
publisher, since the book was bound.

Allen has enjoyed facilities for the improvement of her mind, by
foreign travel, that few ladies of this or any other country, at her
age, have experienced, having made three extensive tours abroad,
two before, and one since her marriage. The fir, it occupied some
fourteen months, in the years 1858-9, on which, in company
with her parents and older sister, and her cousin, Ezekiel Hayes
Trowbridge, Jr., she visited the, most important places of the vari
ous countries of Europe, extending the journey to Athens and

third voyage embraced the tour of Europe with her husband and
two younger sisters, in the winter of 1867 and 8, occupying about

regiment participated in the battle of Perryville. During the
battle the regiment in front lost every Field Officer, and was
thrown into confusion and obhged to retire. The First Wiscon
sin was advanced to its place, and, with the assisistance of artil
lery, the position Avas held until all the artillery horses were
killed or became unmanageable. The regiments of the brigade
were ordered to hold the ground while the guns could be Avith-
drawn. About this time a portion of the First made a dash, and
captured the flag of the First Tennessee Eegiment, and bore it in
triumph to the ranks of the First Wisconsin. Protected by the
fire of other regiments, the First took every gun and caisson
from the field by hand. The flag was riddled by balls, and the
flag-stafi" severed in tAvo places. All the color-guard but three
were killed or Avounded. For the service rendered on this occa
sion, in withdrawing the guns, the regiment received the thanks
of the Battery, and a full complement of colors was presented to
it by Indiana as a recognition of the bravery displayed in recover
ing the guns of an Indiana battery. Early in this engagement
Mr. Trowbridge received what Avould have been a mortal Avound,
had he not been cared for in the hospital by his father, and brought
away as soon as he could endure removal. He was discharged as
permanently disabled, but he finally recovered sufficiently to re
enter the army in 1865, was at the defense of Alatoona, and con
stituted one of Sherman's forces iu marching to the sea. At the
close of the Avar he Avas mustered out of service, and returned to
his farming operations. CHILD.

Capt. William Trowbridge, Jr., son of William and Eliza

Thankful Stow, daughter of Eev. Samuel Stow, of Middletown.
She was born May 5, 1654. He resided in New Haven, was a
sea-faring man, accustomed to make voyages to the West Indies,
as well as to Fayal, and other foreign ports. Cotton Marther, in
his Magnalia, (Vol. IL, page 354, pubhshed by Silas Andrus &
Son, Hartford, 1853,) records the folloAving interposition of Di
vine Providence, which, he says, is "attested beyond all contra
diction " :
"On the 16th of October, in this present year, 1697, there ar
rived at New Haven, a sloop of about 50 tons, whereof Mr. Wil
liam TroAvbridge Avas master; the vessel belonged unto New
Haven, the persons on board Avere seven ; and seventeen long
weeks had they now spent since they same from their port, which
was Fayal. By so unusually tedious a passage a terrible famine
unavoidably came upon them ; and, for the five last weeks of
their voyage, they were so destitute of all food, that, through faint-
ness, they Avould have chosen death rather than life. But they
were a praying and a pious company ; and when these poor men
cried unto the Lord, he heard and saved them. God sent his
dolphins to attend them ; of these they caught still one every day.

TROWBRIDGE FAMILY. Ill
which was enough to serve them ; only, on Saturdays, they still
catched a couple, and on the Lord's day they could catch none
at all. With all possible skill and care they could not supply
themselves with the fish iu any other number or order ; and, in
deed, with a holy blush, they at last left off trying to do anything
on the Lord's day, when they were so well supplied on the Satur
days. Thus, the Lord kept feeding a company that put their
trust in him, as he did his Israel Avith his manna ; and this they
continued until the dolphins came to that change of water Avhere
they used to leave the vessel. Then they so strangely surrendered
themselves, that the company took twenty-seven of them, Avhich
not only sufficed them until they came ashore, but, also, some of
them were brought ashore dried, as a monument of the Divine
benignity." CHILDREN.

of the Araerican revolution she was a child of 7 years of age.
In her death, one of the remaining links connecting Colonial

great events of her early life was vivid and clear. In conversa
tion she could easily take you back to those scenes in which she
personally mingled. She was a cultivated lady of the old school,
and she brought into the present that dignified and elevated
bearing which characterized the last century. In personal
qualities of mind and heart, she would be prominent in any
circle of society. She was a decided Christian, and rejoiced in

her beloved, she leaned, when in the dark valley, and spoke of

TROWBRIDGE FAMILY. 131
1759; She died July 13, 1838, aged 77. The following tribute
was given to her, by her pastor, the Eev. John Greenwood, at the
time of her death : —
'•' This aged disciple will be classed by all who knew her, with
the goodly fellowship of those whose life and death alike prove
the reality and .power of religion. Endowed by nature Avith a
strong and independent mind, her religious opinions, which Avere
thoroughly CA'angelical, Avere decided and firm, and rendered her
less liable than most to be tossed about with the varying winds
of doctrine. While her estimate of the fallen condition of our
sinful nature, was such as precluded all confidence in herself, her
reliance on the promises of Scripture, and the atoning merits of
the Saviour, was entire, and imparted a peculiar serenity to all
her feelings. And, as the surrender of her heart to Christ was
not a secret act, to which she was first urged by her near pros
pect of eternity, she knew, from long experience of his power and
grace, on whom she had believed. The distinguished features of
her religious character, through a long course of Christian pro
fession, were a strong and intelligent faith in the peculiar doc
trines of the gospel ; a meek and quiet spirit, in all her inter
course Avith others, and a calm and satisfied acquiescence in all
the revealed purposes of her Heavenly Father. Her dying ex
perience corresponded with her living character. When she felt
that the hand of death was upon her, she anticipated the mo
ment of her departure with a tranquilizing consciousness that all
was well, and had an assured confidence that her Eedeemer and
Lord Avould keep that which she had committed to him against
that day. She died in peace. The prevailing imjiression left on
the minds of both attendants and friends and sorrowing rela
tives, by the brief but impressive scenes of her last sickness and
final exit, Avas that a Christian can be calm even on the verge of
eternity ; that religion is a portion for both worlds." Mr. Thad
deus Starr died May 3, 1841, aged 81.

Recorder of that city, immediately after his decease :
" Died, ip this city. May 8, Billy Trowbridge, aged 73. The
deceased was a resident of Truxton, Cortland County, New York,
for forty-nine years, where he was appointed to positions of high
responsibility and honor, in various departments of business and
civil life. He represented that county, in the State Legislature,

during three consecutive years. While in the full flush of health
and prospective long life, he consecrated himself to the Saviour's
service, with a cheerful confidence that strengthened with each
suceeeding year. Eight years since he removed to this city, and
connected himself with the First Presbyterian Church. His un
affected piety and earnest solicitude for the interests of religion,
soon marked him as one fitting to bear the oflBce of Euling Elder,
to which the unanimous suffrages of the Church soon elected
him. In this position he evinced a constant desire to be at work ;
to do something in the Master's vineyard, and he looked forward,
Avith pleasure, to the time when a settled pastor should lead and
direct these efforts. In the family and social relation, his quali
ties of heart shone most conspicuous, and his unwavering affect
ion and uniform solicitude for the welfare of those within its
limits, left an impression which time cannot efface. He leaves
an afflicted widow and a large family of sons, grown to manhood,
and occupying stations of usefulness in society and the church.
They, with the church, will mourn his absence, but, he has only
gone before. For months and years he had ' set his house in or
der,' and when the summons came, he was ' found ready and
waiting.' " CHILDREN.

Judge Edmund Trowbridge, son of Thomas Trowbridge,
born in 1709, graduated at Harvard College, at the age of 19, in
the class of 1728, studied law, and became one of the most emi
nent of the profession in Massachusetts. Among the numerous
tributes to the memory of Judge Trowbridge, the following is
preserved, in manuscript, in the Antiquarian Library at Wor
cester, Mass., prepared raany years since by Samuel Jennison :
"Edmund Trowbridge was born at Newton, in 1709, and
graduated at Harvard in the class of 1728. He was appointed
Attorney General of Massachusetts in 1749, and continued in
the office until appointed Judge of the Supreme Court in 1767.
In 1764'he was elected a member of the CouncU. He married,
March 15, 1732, Miss Martha Remington, daughter of Judge
Eemington, of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts. She died
in July, 1772. The legal talents of Mr. Trowbridge were of the
highest order." The following incidental remarks, contained in
the sketch of the character of Chief Justice Parsons, by his

TROWBRIDGE FAMILY. 331
successor. Judge Parker, contain the best eulogium of this dis
tinguished man : — " I will not omit to mention, for I wish not
to exaggerate his powers, that he enjoyed one advantage, in his
education, beyond any of his contemporaries, except the learned,
able and upright Chief Justice Dana. I refer to the society and
conversation of Judge Trowbridge, perhaps the most profound
common lawyer of New England before the Eevolution. This
venerable old man, like some of the ancieut sages of the law in
England, pursued his legal disquisitions long after he had ceased
to be actively engaged in the profession, from an ardent attach
ment to the law as a science, and had. employed himself in
writing essays and forming elaborate readings upon abstruse and
difficult points of law. Many of his works are now extant in
manuscript, and sorae in print, and they abundantly prove the
depth of his learning and the diligence and patience of his
research." President Adams, in a sketch of the life of Jonathan Sewall,
has an incidental notice of Mr. TroAvbridge. He says that "he
commanded the practice in Middlesex, Worcester and several
other counties, aud that he had poAver to crush, by his froAvn or
his nod, any young lawyer in his county."
Mr. Knapp remarks that " Trowbridge had been distinguished
not only as a profound lawyer and an able advocate, but a
zealous law officer of the government, but when he saw the
people rise in hostility, his courage forsook him, and he fled
from the confusion around him, and tried to shut his eyes to
what Avas going on, or to keep the din of arms from disturbing
his lucubrations, and that he Avho had once instructed Parsons,
and possessed a mind so discriminating and profound, could
hardly, in the latter part of his life, comprehend his own legal
decisions made in the strength of intellectual power."
During a part of his life he bore the name of Goffe, after an
uncle, but subsequently resuraed his own name, and presided at
the trial of Preston, at Boston. He was urged by Hutchinson,
the Governor, who had a great respect for him as a learned
lawyer and able judge, to continue on the bench, but disapprov
ing the tenure by which the office was (now) held, resigned,
although well disposed to the Eoyal government. He wag
afterward neutral.
Mr. Parsons says his library was not only the best, but proba
bly the only thoroughly good one in New England.

333 TROWBRIDGE FAMILY.
Note. — He retired to Byfield, where he resided in th? family
of the Eev. Moses Parsons. Professor Parsons represents him
as a Tory in heart, and to some extent in speech, but he reraained
inactive, perhaps neutral, through the contest. He did not
abstain from the conflict through cowardice or physical unfit
ness, for he had a strong proclivity to war and combat, and was
a " master of fence," and an excellent horseman. He was prob
ably restrained by his friends Ellery and Dana. During half of
his long life he was, by common consent, regarded the most
profound lawyer in New England, when Judge Kent represents
him as " the oracle of the common laiv." He died in Cambridge
April 3, 1793, aged 84, leaving no issue. By his will, dated
November, 1791, codicil April 1792, proved June, 1794, he
bequeaths to his niece, Lydia, wife of John Hastings, Esq., all
his lands in Woburn and Wilmington, and some in Cambridge,
in trust. To Lucy Channing, his silver teapot, pursuant to his
wife's desire. To the children of his late sister, Chamberlain,
five-sixths of his land in Sutton. To his kinsman (half-brother),
John Trowbridge, one-sixth of his land in Sutton. To his
domestics, in small bequests ; and makes his nephew, Francis
Dana, Esq., the residuary legatee and sole executor. He was a
large land holder in Cambridge and Cambridgeport, the value of
which was greatly enhanced by the erection of West Boston
bridge, in 1793, aU of which passed into the hands of Chief
Justice Dana, his nephew and law pupil.
2335.
Lydia Trowbridge, daughter of Thomas Trowbridge, boru
in 1710, was married to Richard Dana, in 1737. Mr. Dana was
born at Cambridge, Mass., July 7, 1699, graduated at Harvard
University, in 1718. He was a grandson of Eichard Dana, the
first of the family who came from England, and settled at Cam
bridge in 1640. After practicing law for a time at Marblehead
and at Charlestown, Mass., he removed to Boston, Avhere he
became a leading barrister. Judge Story, in his work on
"American Precedents," has taken more examples from him
than any other pleader, except his brother-in-law. Judge Trow
bridge. In the obituary notices of him, he is spoken of as the
" head of the bar." He was more generaUy distinguished for his
prominence in the measures of resistance which immediately
preceded the Eevolution. His age, already advanced, his office

TROWBRIDGE FAMILY. 333
of magistrate and position at the bar and in society, and the
intrepidity of his character, carried great Aveight to the side of
his young patriot friends. Although devoted to his profession,
and, declining office, he Avas a leading figure in those important
political assemblages, where he sometimes presided — the Boston
town meetings, from 1763 to 1773. It Avas the custom of Boston
in those troubled times to address the country at large on public
affairs, under the form of published instructions to the repre
sentatives of the town. Warren, Hancock and the Adamses
were on a committee for the purpose. Mr. Dana Avas always a
member, and often at their head. He reported the papers of
November, 1767, and May 8, 1770, noted at that time. He Avas
a member of the Association of the Sons of Liberty, and at
their celebrated meeting of December 17, 1769, administered to
Secretary Oliver the oath of non-execution of the stami>-act,
and signed a solemn ofiicial record of that fact, by which he
Avould seem to have exposed himself to the charge of treason
under the constitution of those days. His death, which occurred
May 17, 1773, three years before the battle of Lexington, is
spoken of in the letters of the leading patriots as a great loss to
the cause. (Vide Encyclopedia.) They had two children, and
perhaps others. CHILDREN.

Artemus Ward, July 31, 1750. Mr. Ward graduated at Harvard
in 1748. He resided at Shrewsbury, Mass, but did not study a
profession. At the age of twenty-five he was appointed Justice
ofthe Peace; in 1755 a major in the Third Eegiment of Militia,
iu the counties of Middlesex and Worcester, Avhereof Abraham
Williams, Esq., of Marlboro, was Colonel, and in 1758, was major
in the Eegiment of Foot, commanded by William Williams, raised
for a general invasion of Canada. He went on that ill-fated ex
pedition, under the command of Major-General Abercrombie,
from which he returned with the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel.
The frequent wars between England and France involved the
American colonies in the contests of the mother country, until
the conquest of Canada, in 1760. He succeeded Abraham Wil
liams, in the command. of the Third Eegiment, and represented
his town in the General Court, where he took an active part
in the controversies between the Colonial Governor and the
House of Eepresentatives that preceded the Eevolution. On the
19th of May, 1775, General Ward was appointed Commander-in-
Chief; on the 30th he received his commission. On the 15th of
June General Washington Avas appointed to the command of all
the Continental forces, and on the 17th Artemus Ward, Esq.,
was appointed First Major-General. In AprU, 1776, General
Ward represented to Congress the feeble state of his health, and
his unAvillingness to continue in office and receive its emoluments,
Avhile prevented, by ill-health, from rendering any equivalent in
the service, and requested Congress to accept his resignation of
the office of Major-General. He continued in the service, at the
request of General Washington, and of the Continental Congress,
until the close of that year. In 1777 he was elected, by the
House of Eepresentatives, a member of the Executive Council of

238 troavbridge family.
Massachusetts, and, by the council. President of that Board ; and
in 1779 appointed a member of the Continental Congress, but
prevented by ill-health from taking a seat in that body. After
the adoption of the Federal Constitution he was elected and re
elected a member of Congress, (vide Ward Family, page 317).
A monument, in the Burial Ground, at ShreAvsbury, erected
to his memory, has the following inscription, containing a con
densed account of the principal stations in which he acted his
part in an eventful period of his country's history : —
" Major-General Artemus Ward, son of Colonel Nahum Ward,
H. U., 1748 ; 1763, a Justice, and in 1776, Chief Justice of the
C. C. Pleas, of the County of Worcester; 1758, a major in the
expedition against Canada; 1759, appointed Colonel, in 1766 his
commission, as Colonel, revoked for his inflexible opposition to
arbitrary poAver, whereupon he informed the Eoyal Governor
that he had been thrice honored — in 1768 chosen one of the Ex
ecutive Council, by the Eoyal Governor, aud for the same reason
negatived and deprived of a seat at that board; 1775, appointed
to the command of the army at Cambridge ; and by the Conti
nental Congress, and under the Federal Government, repeatedly
elected a member ; sixteen years a Eepresentative, from his town,
in the Legislature, and, in 1785, Speaker of the House of Eepre
sentatives. Firmness of mind, and integrity of purpose, were
characteristics of his whole life, so that he was never swayed by
the applause or censure of man, but ever acted under a deep sense
of duty to his country and accountability to God. Long will his
memory be precious among the friends of liberty and religion."

Abigail Trowbridge, daughter of Eev. Caleb and Hannah
(Walton) Trowbridge, born November 3, 1740, married Ebenezer
Champney, son of Solomon Champney, in 1763. Mr. Champney
was born at Cambridge, Mass., and graduated at Harvard Col
lege in 1763. He was, at first, designed for the ministry, and to
that end studied Divinity and preached about two years. He re
ceived a call- to settle in Township No. 1, now Mason. This
was declined, and he soon after left his profession and studied
law. He prepared himself for this vocation in the office of Hon.
Samuel Livermore, and was admitted to the Bar, at Portsmouth,
New Hampshire, in 1768. In June of that- year he moved to
New Ipswich, N. H., and entered upon the duties of his profes
sion. In the Spring of 1783, he we went to Groton, Mass., where
he remained till 1789 ; was Eepresentative of that town in 1784,
and in 1789 he returned to New Ipswich. His first commission
as Justice of the Peace, Avas received from the celebrated John
Hancock, of Massachusetts. In 1795 he was appointed Judge of
Probate for the county of HiUsboro. The duties of this office
were appropriately discharged uutil his resignation, a few months
before his death. His marriage to Abigail Trowbridge connected
him with the distinguished families of Cottons and Mathers.
By this raarriage he had seven children. Mrs. Abigail (Trow
bridge) Champney died in 1775, aged 35, and Judge Champney
then married again, in 1778, Abigail Parker, by whom he had

four children. She died in 1790, and he was married a third
time to Susan Wyman, who died the following September. He
Avas a man of very respectable talents, and exercised no incon
siderable influence in his neighborhood. During the earlier years
of his practice he Avas the only laAvyer between Keene,- N. H., and
Groton, Mass., and had offices both at New Ipswich and the latter
place, in conjunction with his son. The labor of attending the
courts, at that period, Avas very great, the circuits being exten
sive, and all journeys Avere, necessarily, performed on horseback.
During the controA^ersy between the Colonies and the Mother
Country, the sentiments of Mr. Champney were adverse to those
extreme measures which led to the Eevolution. He Avas a mode-
i-iite Tory, and, deprecating a resort to arms, believed that, with
prudent and moderate counsels, all causes of disaffection might
be satisfactorily adjusted. He wished to preseserve his loyalty,
aud the peace of the country, but, like many others who forebore
to take part in the contest, he lived to acknowledge the beneficent
eflfects of that struggle, which gave us our liberties and free in
stitutions. (See History of Ncav Ipswich.)

notice appeared in the local papers : — " She had, in former years,
been a resident of Albion, Michigan. Some thirty years ago, she
and her husband became citizens of this village, aud Avere thus
idendified with it, almost at its very beginning. Mrs. Trow
bridge was possessed of more than ordinary endoAvments of both
mind and body. Her noble and dignified bearing was the ex
pression of the nobleness of her heart and intellect. As she had
removed from Albion about twelve years ago, the number of her
acquaintances was limited to few; but these held her in the
highest esteem. As a Christian, she was devoted to the Lord
aud his Church, and her benevolence Avas as diffusive as the ex
tent of her ability. She had attained the unusual age of eighty-
four years ; and it could be said of her, doAvn to the close of her
life, that 'none knew her but to love her."

Dr. Josiah Trowbridge, son of John and Mary (Bent) TroAv

had an extensive medical practice fbr fifty years, and occupied a
conspicuous place in whatever interested the welfare of the city.
He died September 18, 1863. A sketch of his life was prepared
by his son. Dr. John S. Trowbridge, and published, by request of
the Brie County Medical Society, in 1869, from which the follow
ing extract is taken :
" The subject of this paper Avas born in Framingham, Mass.
The father of Dr. Trowbridge Avas no ordinary man, as the re
cords show. The mother of Dr. TroAvbridge, like all mothers of
good sons, was more than an ordinary Avoman ; pious, affectionate,
devoted, and making it her daily duty to cultivate all social and
Christian graces in the family. Until the subject of this sketch
was someAvhat advanced in years, he remained at home, assisting
his father on the farm. This proving too laborious, and his
health not being equal to the task assig-ned him, in 1799, he took
the position of clerk Avith an elder brother, who Avas engaged in
mercantile pursuits in Boston. Tiring of this, and seized Avith a
desire to see more of the world, he shipped for Holland, in 1800,

278 TROWBRIDGE FAMILY.
and after a most tempestuous return voyage, the vessel reached
Charleston, South Carolina, in a disabled condition. He returned
to his home, and undertook a course of preparatory studies, with
a view to the adoption of the medical iirofession. Commencing
his readings Avith Dr. Willard, of Uxbridge, he finished with Dr.
Kitteridge. I have frequently heard him mention the names of
these men with respect and evident pleasure. During this time
he taught school two winters, one in Southboro, and the next in
his native town. He used to relate, in an amusing way, his ex-'
periences as school teacher, involving the manner in which he
quelled — what was then quite common — rebellion against the
teacher. I need not dwell on the experiences of the teacher in
those primitive times, further than to refer to the necessity of the
strong application of Avhat may be styled military law ; when the
teacher assumed the only arm of defense at hand — the poker —
and disposed of the insurrection as summarily as the necessities
of the case required. According to his representation, like the
rebellion araong us, one determined effort was sufiicient to end
the struggle. After the usual course of study, he was licensed to
practice. This was in 1808 or 1809. His first professional efforts
were put forth in Weathersfield, Vermont, where he remained for
a brief time. In company with a young lawyer, an intimate
friend, by the name of Walker, in the Spring of 1811, he
came to Buffalo on horseback. On this journey they made
the acquaintance of the distinguished lawyer, Elisha Williams,
and of his wife. The latter afterwards spoke of Doctor TroAv
bridge as her 'handsome doctor.' Mr. Walker returned to Ver
mont, where he obtained eminence as a lawyer, and considerable
political prominence. Buffalo not offering sufficient encourage
ment to Doctor Trowbridge, he took up his residence at Fort
Erie. At this time, that place and Black Eock, were the entre-
pots'of the then liraited commerce of the lakes ; buffalo Creek
being blockaded by sand bars. Doctor Trow^bridge remained in
Canada until the declaration of the war, when he returned to
Buffalo. During his residence in Canada he formed an attach
ment which, notwithstanding the belligerent condition of the
two countries, resulted in a much more than friendly agreement
between himself and one of His Majesty's subjects." I cannot do
better than make an extract from a letter, dated October 11,
1813, written to his brother, in Avhich he says : " I Avill now in
form you something of myself and faraily, for you must know

TROAVBRIDGE FAMILY. 379
that I am married. I am not a friend to the war, but I could
not forbear engaging in an expedition. On the 19th of Septem

ceeded, with the assistance of Cupid (who, by the by, is a good
general) in capturing one of his Majesty's subjects, Avithout
bloodshed. I have her now in close confinement, and hope I
shall be able to keep possession until I have the pleasure of pre
senting her to you." He Avas married, in Buffalo, by the Eev.
Elkanah Holmes, a Baptist Missionary, September 33, 1813, to
Margaret Wintermute. Before and during the Avar he Avas asso
ciated with Dr. Cyrenus Chapin, who had preceded him in his
location. Hoav long this co-partnership continued I have no suf
ficient data to enable me to say ; it commenced before the war,
and ended directly after its close. His next business connection
was Avith a most estimable man and physician. Doctor John B.
Marshall, the first medical man that settled in Chautauqua
County, and who, upon its organization as a distinct county, was
appointed County Clerk. He died in 1838, greatly beloved and
respected. The first co-partnership Avas formed September 8,
1823, under the name of Marshall & Trowbridge. In 1839 the
firm was dissolved, in consequence of the ill-health of Doctor
Marshall, he retiring from practice, when the co-partnership of
Trowbridge & Sprague was formed, October 16, 1830. Doctor
Marshall renewed practice, and the firm of TroAvbridge &
Marshall was established, and continued until December 3, 1831.
He was an honor to his profession, and a useful member of
society. Dr. Trowbridge Avas also associated with Doctors Bela
H. Colgrove, Thomas B. Clark and Alden S. Sprague ; at a much
later period, with Dr. Charles Winne. All these gentleman ob
tained eminence in their profession and challenged respect as
citizens. A letter from Dr. Colgrove to John S. Trowbridge,
after his father's decease, shows the estimate in which he was
held by one Avho had been an associate in practice. " Among the
departed, I remember no one in whose character Avas blended high
professional attainments, with a nice appreciation and practice of
those courtesies aud amenities, personal and professional, Avhich
made the green oasis in human life, more than your father. While
you, my dear Doctor, with a filial affection, in the highest de
gree commendable, are Aveaving a deserved garland for the broAv
of your late father, permit me to add my hurable chaplet to the
wreath ; which, though the product of an obscure mountain toAvn,

is no exotic; and Avhile the younger members of our profession
are seeking models to emulate and imitate, sure I am, they will
seek in vain for a better than the late Josiah Trowbridge." It
affords me pleasure to be able to testify that these kind expres
sions of respect and affection were reciprocal.
During the war of 1813 Dr. TroAvbridge gave the government
his hearty support, although, in common Avitli^ a large political
party, not recognizing its absolute necessity. He was at no time
in the regular service, but was attached to a volunteer company
of artillery, and always ready to respond, when humanity or the
interests of his country made a demand upon him. After the
close of the war he received a grant of land, for his services, in the
State of Indiana. He Avas fond of the gun, and on one occasion,
in company with Frederick B. Merril, Lieutenant Dudley, of
Perry's fleet, and one or more boatmen, while shooting ducks on
Strawberry Island, Avas surprised and captured by the British,
and taken to Fort George. While there the Indians in the service
of the government, broke into their quarters, and for a time their
safety seemed quite precarious. The intervention of officers and
chiefs prevented a massacre. The doctor, with his comrades,
Avas detained a few days, and then discharged, arriving in Buf
falo after a most tedious journey on foot. During the war he,
Av^ith most of the early settlers, had many adventures. At the
burning of the viUage of Buffalo, which was a surprise, although
it had been threatened, he, Avith others, remained engaged in
securing the safety of the women and children, and was amoug
the last to leave. As he passed up Main Street he Avas fired upon
by the Indians ambushed in the vicinity. With other refugees,
he spent the Winter, and part of the Spring, at various localities
east of Buffalo. Here he, with his wife, had some amusing ex
periences, in the log cabins of the day, which our liraits will not
allow us to detail.
"Dr. Trowbridge Avas absent one Avinter in Washington ou
private business, and business connected with the interests of the
village. He continued to practice his profession until 1836,
Avhen he had accumulated a handsome property. He then sold
his office property to Dr. Winne, and gave his time to the man
agement of his private affairs — attending to the improvement of
his property, erecting the United States Hotel, and other build
ings, and loaning his money among his supposed friends. In
1837, when all went by the board, he was, unfortunately, included

T K O \V H R I D G J' F .A Al I L Y . 381
among them, losing his all. He made an assignment, and was
left penniless. This year he was elected Mayor. The Patriot
War occuring shortly after he was installed, law and order being-
put at defiance, and he being unable to maintain the supremacy
of the former, resigned. During the years detailed in the fore
going account Dr. Trowbridge held many minor places of useful
ness. Once, for a short time, he Avas side judge. Several times
he Avas supervisor, was associated Avith Major John G. Camp, as
commissioners, for finishing the building noAv knoAvii a,s " The
Old Court House."' He Avas President of the High School, after-
Avards knoAvn as "The Buffalo Military Scientific and Literary
Academy." He Avas secretary of the meeting held at the house of
Elias Eansom for the purpose of organizing the Episcopal Society
of Saint Paul's Church, February 10, 1817. He was one of its
first Vestrymen, held the position for eleven years, and was War
den for six. The original church edifice was enlarged, iu 1838,
under a contract entered into by him, at an expense of $3,500,
he depending upon the increased sale of sittings to make good
the outlay. It proved to be a remunerative experiment for the
parish. He Avas the last survivor of the original members — Avas
always greatly interested in the prosperity of the church, giving bis
services to its members, contributing frequently beyond his means
to its treasury.
" He Avas actively engaged in his profession, in this locality,
about fifty years, with only one interruption. His rides extended
over long distances, without reference to day or night, the
weather, or circumstances, as against personal comfort. Their
bounds included Cattaraugas, Creek, Clean, Batavia, Lockport,
TonaAvauda, Lewiston and Canada; late in life he was called ii,s
far as Detroit. In 1838, after his failure, he resumed his pro
fession Avith Dr. Charles Winne, and continued uutil 1843.
During a portion of this time the Avriter was a student in their
office. Having completed his studies, he Avas associated Avith his
father, continuing until the Fall of 1853.
Doctor Trowbridge did a large private and consultation prac
tice until 1856, Avhen increasing infirmities compeUed him to re
linquish it entirely. I have forgotten to mention, in its proper
order, that in 1833, the honorary degree of " Doctor of Medicine,"'
was conferred upon him by the " Eegeuts ofthe University." Thus
you have the incidents connected with a long and unpretending,
but eminently practical and useful life. His excellencies Avere ap-

283 TROAVBRIDGE FAMILY.

predated, and most intimately known among suffering humanity,
or in quiet association with his fellow-men. He never aspired,
by means practised by many, to be knoAvn as a popular man.
Those who committed themselves to his care were not subject to
doubtful experiments, with a view to his personal aggrandise
ment. He exhibited all those qualities which are needful to con
stitute the true gentleman, and his amenities were extended to
all without distinction. I never knew him, by word or act, to
depart from strict honor and decorum. His life was that of one
who, in his intercourse with men, exhibited all personal virtues
and generous sentiments, founded on an inteUigent Christian
faith, which is necessary to the good citizen and true physi
cian. Ill his associations with his medical brethren, it was his
highest aim to merit their confidence, and, without reservation,
to give them such aid and comfort as the necessities of the case
would seem to require. I think I can safely state that in but
few instances was this confidence misplaced. The younger mem
bers of the profession, with whom he came in contact, were
always treated with the most careful consideration. Errors were
quietly indicated, and the proper method for their ratification
pointed out. We all have had our youthful hopes and aspirations
brought low, and our pride grievously Avounded by the unfair,
overbearing, and supercilious treatment received from our seniors,
to whom we looked not only for professional assistance, but for
that material aid to which the young practitioner is entitled.
With Dr. Trowbridge honor was the polar star. In the early
organization of society there was no lack of men of enterprise,
possessing high moral character, but Avith them there were min
gled the usual proportion of hardened individuals, lacking prin
ciple, but still infiuential through native talent and energy. Our
profession had its proportion. Profanity and intemperance Avere,
unfortunately, lightly regarded in the case of both the physician
and the citizen. The parties themselves were not entirely re
sponsible for this unfortunate condition of morals. The prac
tices of society tended to make drunkards, not only of medical
men, but of all, not excluding women. With the primitive doc
tor, it seemed essential, in his exposures, that he should fortify
his inner man with stimulus ; as often as he visited a patient, it
was thought necessary that he should take something internally,
that the external man might be protected. As a consequence, a
popular practitioner, with a large field of operations, could hardly

TROAVBRIDGE FAMILY'. 383
fail to be more or less under the influence of stimulents before the
day's Avork was ended. There was no discredit in reasonable in
temperance. It was a common saying that. " If you can find a so
ber, you Avill find a more than ordinary doctor." To such tempta
tions Avere he and all exposed, the only matter of wonderment is,
that any escaped these direful influences. NotAvithstanding this
condition of society. Dr. TroAvbridge, not entirely unaccustomed to
the practices of the day, ignored the use of alcohol, and to this
rule he most religiously aud steadily adhered. It was only near
the close of his life, and upon the recommendation of a medical
friend, that he consented to use a certain and exact quantity of
stimulus dail}^ I mention this for the reason that it occurred
long -before the temperance movement was attempted, or had ob
tained any influence on the popular mind, Avhen any endeavor to
practice tempereuce Avas rather a cause of reproach than merit.
In his business habits Dr. Trowbridge was negligent in securing
his just dues, though punctilious in the discharge of his personal
liabilities. He Avas never exorbitant in his charges. Seldom, if
ever, employing the laAV in the enforcement of his claims, and
often raaking liberal deductions, or donating his services. The
consequence was, that, notAvithstanding a large practice, he was
often pressed for means. With his friends, he ahvays erred on
the side of liberality. His purse was never closed to the demands
of religion and charity. He had many pupils— araong thera I
name Doctors Frank B. Eansom, Charles C. Haddock, 0. S. St.
John, Badger Dunn, and James P. White. The number, and
the positions obtained in their profession and society, indicate
his ability as a teacher. Those living Avill bear me out, when I
assert, he always endeavored to influence them Avith high and
honorable sentiments, not only by his teaching, but by his exam
ple. By some he Avas preceded to the grave, Avhile others remain
to testify to his many excellent qualities. It is not to the dis
credit of his associates, to say that he was a courageous, safe, and
judicious practitioner. He Avas constitutionally, and otherwise,
eminently calculated for the practice of his chosen profession.
In the exercise of its high, and often unexpected and exhausting
responsibilities, and in all the varying circumstances, and vicissi
tudes incident thereto, there was no one, Avith the lights then at
command, better schooled or fitted to meet them all than he. In
the obstetrical science, no one of his time, or perhaps since, in
this locality, was, or is, his superior. He always appreciated the

384 TROAVBRIDGE FAMILY.
grave responsibUities surrounding him, possessed an intelligence
that Avas equal to any emergency, and professional boldness that
was ready for every necessity, the want of which is a serious
detriment to the success of the most timid, but equaUy intelli
gent and conscientious practitioner.
In conversation he Avas peculiarly happy, entertaining and
instructive, and in Avhatever principle was not concerned, he
yielded ready obedience to social usage and custom. He had a
faculty of satisfying his pride — for at heart he was a proud man —
by honoring the avocation through which he had achieved the
right to be what he was. His leisure time was either employed
in general literature, or in keeping pace with the progress of his
profession. Politically, he ahvays had the best interests of the
country at heart, although rarely or ever taking an active part
in politics. Early in life he was a Federalist, later a Whig, and
lastly a Eepublican. The government, in its earlier efforts to
maintain itself as against England, always had his best efforts,
and in its recent and successful attempt to maintain the
supremacy of the Union and the constitution, was the recipient
of his devoutest Avishes. Two of his sons Avere in the service ;
one of them, the youngest. Captain Henry W. Trowbridge, of
the Fifth Michigan, died while his regiment was in front of
YorktoAvn. Dr. Trowbridge often expressed a desire to live to
see the government recover its control over the rebellious States,
and to assert, and, successfully, maintain its supremacy; but this
was not allowed him. The religious faith and opinions of one
who has satisfactorily closed his earthly mission, is always a
delicate subject. It is too much the case that men are appreci
ated and judged in proportion as they are prospered in the goods
of this Avorld. Wealth too often gives its possessor a social
position to which his deficiencies in moral and educational
qualities do not entitle him. Eeligious belief 'and practice are
very greatly dependent upon education, circumstances aud the
will of the individual. Faith is manifested in various ways ;
with some, it is quiet and unostentatious ; with others, demon
strative and presuming. Dr. Trowbridge's parents were Puritans,
and as his. father's house was his home until he Avas quite a
young man, it is fair to suppose there were no opportunities
neglected in attempting to impress on his youthful mind their
religious belief. Addison remarks that these early impressions
are never entirely lost, although they may fail in their full
fruition.

TROAVBRIDGE FAAIILY. 385

In conversation Dr. Trowbridge would often refer pleasantly
and Avith profound respect to the rigid strictness of his most
excellent and pious father, and also Avith the utmost affection to
that of his devoted and pious mother. While clerk in Boston,
he attended the only Episcopal Church in that city, then knoAvn
as " King's Chapel ;" and as his Avife was educated in the Epis
copal faith, he was thus influenced and confirmed in his early
predilections. He Avas a communicant with this body before
my remembrance. The truths and requirements of religion
Avere received and discharged by him with an intelligence
worthy of their importance. His belief was earnest, simple,
honest, founded in the exercise of the high prerogative of reason.
It was neither uncharitable nor sectarian. He Avas ahvays
ready to concede to others the right and the opportunity of an
honest Christian difference, rebelling most stoutly against pre
tense and cant, Avhether it had an existence in religion, morals,
or the medical profession. The Bible and the Book of Common
Prayer for many years had a place on his table, and every day
Avere the subject of his study.
In active life, his labors on the Sabbath were always arranged,
when possible, so that those portions of the day devoted to
public worship might not be subject to interruption. Judging
him by what makes up the actualities of life, I am safe in
claiming for hira a reasonable effort to live acceptably to God
and man.
Towards the close of his life, and after he Avas incapacitated
for the duties of his profession, the subject of religion Avas a
matter of serious consideration and frequent conversation. In
his expressions he never made place for doubt. The near and
certain approach of death was calmly awaited, although he
expressed himself as having in an imperfect manner, and
perhaps not according to the talents committed to him, com
pleted his usefulness.
Fearing that he might be regarded as a burden, he was ready
and prepared to give place to others physically and otherwise
better prepared to accomplish the never ending duties of life,
only expressing a desire to be exempted from that intense physi
cal suffering which is often attendant upon the final departure
of the soul. In this not unreasonable request he Avas Provi
dentially gratified.
It was my practice to spend a portion of each of his latter
days in his company. I left him on the eve of the 37th of Sep-

tember, 1862, in his usual health and spirits. Early the next
morning I was suddenly, but not unexpectedly, called to find
him in an insensible condition. He rallied for a short time,
not sufiiciently long to be able to give expression to his wishes,
but so as to be conscious of his situation. Soon, with a smile
on his countenance and without pain, he passed into that eter
nity in which we hope and believe the cares and distractions of
life and the necessities of administering to the physical sufferings
of humanity, are ended. The public, by private manifestations,
the press, the medical profession, each in their own proper way,
gave expression to the loss that society had been called on to
sustain. This was the last of a long and useful life. If there is
purity here, below, then it was pure.

and was adopted by a warm friend. General Vincent MatthcAvs,
a laAvyer of Elmira, who entered him as a laAV clerk in his ofiice.
Subsequently the General abandoned the profession of the law
for mercantile pursuits, and Stephen was his clerk in the store.
He also had some fields adjoining the village, and Stephen
manifested a fondness for farming, and soon learned to " handle
a cradle and a scythe Avith the best of them." At the age of
eighteen, at the commencement of the late war with England,
he joined a regiment of three months' cavalry volunteers, and
served with it, during the time of its enlistment, on the Niagara
frontier. He subsequently married Elizabeth Conkling, of
Horsehead, Chemung County, New York, who was born May
23, 1797. In October, 1831, he removed to Oakland County,
Michigan, and turned his attention to agriculture. He knew
enough of law to keep out of it, of accounts to state them
handsomely, and, in a beautiful hand, which he retained until

his death, and of farming, to make himself independent of fraud
in its practice. These qualities were invaluable in a new
country, and accordingly he was the recipient of the suffrages of
his fellow citizens as long as he would consent to hold office.
He was one of the members of the first Legislative Council, a
body composed of thirteen, under the old territorial government,
and aftei-Avards, Avhen the territory threw off her swaddling
clothes aud became a State, he was returned to the Hbuse of
Eepresentatives and the Senate. Meantime, he was frequently
employed by the General Government in offices of responsibility
and trust, connected Avith the Indian department, which, in
those days, Avas of great extent, including seven States and Ter
ritories, and of great importance, having care of the disburse
ment of the treaty moneys paid for the extensive domain of
Michigan and Wisconsin.
When the " copper fever " broke out on Lake Superior, the
United States, the owners of the land, began by leasing the
mines to companies, who worked them, and paid a roj^alty or
proportion to the government. It became necessary for the
United States to have a resident agent on Lake Superior, and he
Avas, at one time, the appointed agent. He spent two summers
there, but the business took such a turn that his office became a
sinecure, and he wrote from Sault St. Marie to the department,
so describing it, and advising the department to abolish it. He
resigned his position at the same time. This was, to his intim
ate friends, who only knew of it, for he was no boaster, a source
of sobie amusement, as being the only case, in their knowledge,
Avliere an incumbent recommended the abolition of his office,
and then showed his sincerity by renouncing its emoluments ;
but it was also, to them, a source of pride that in him they had
God's noblest Avork, an honest raan. While he was thus occa
sionally occupied Avith the affairs of state, his main pursuit Avas
that of a plain farmer. He Avorked industriously and lived
frugally. He was a pattern of sobriety to all his neighbors, and
his cheerfulness Avas so contageous, that he enlivened every circle.
He was always ready, as a neighbor, Avith material aid, or as a
counsellor, and frequently prepared the last Avills of those about
him Avith whom he Avas most intimate.
His character as a Christian brings us upon ground of great
delicacy. As there were Pauls and Bamabases, Peters and
Johns and James, in Apostolic days, evidencing the loveliness of

TROAVBRIDGE FAMILY. 389
the religion of Christ in all its phases, so, in these days, the
diversity of gifts, and temperaments, of education and associ
ation, are so great that it is questionable how far one Christian
is able to judge of another. But of this mau, all who knew him
as a Christian could unite in saying that they knew none more
humble, more penitent, more truth loving, more kind, more for
giving, more generous, more true. His character was naturally
very confiding, and, although he had, in his earlier years, more
quickness of temper than was good for him, none kncAV it better
or lamented it more than himself. Grace was constantly at
work, refining, purifying his soul, and when God called him, he
was an example of the patient Christian AA^aiting for the sum
mons. He became a member of the Presbyterian Church, at
Pontiac, Oakland County, and Avas successively Deacon and
Elder in the Church at Troy and Birmingham up to the time of
his death, which took place at his residence. Strawberry Hill,
March 1, 1859. The manner of his death has often called forth
remark. He and his friends, Eobert Stuart and General Henry
Whiting, had often conferred on the subject of death, and all
were agreed that, if consistent Avith God's avUI, they would like
to die suddenly. General Whiting was first taken. He was at
St. Louis, preparing to visit Detroit, and while packing his
trunk, fell dead. Mr. Stuart was at Chicago. He took cold,
coughed in the night, rose frora his bed and Avent to his chair,
in which he died during the night. Mr. Trowbridge had been
out in the morning to visit an old neighbor, came in about noon,
laid down on the sofa Avith a book as if to read, and iu a feAv
minutes was found in a fit of apoplexy, which, in a fcAV hours,
terminated his life.
" "Si-dy we not think of tliee as wearing-
Tlie star-like croAvn of liglit, and bearing,

tion a large concourse of people were assembled, when he gave

308 TROWBRIDGE FAMILY.
an uncommonly interesting history of the School, from the time
of its organization, in July, 1845. After some general remarks,
on the management of the school, and the faithfulness of the
teachers, Mr. Trowbridge made a series of parting remarks to the
scholars and teachers. Turning then to the new superintendent,
Mr. George W. Bacon, for many years a teacher, he welcomed
him to the high and noble field to which he Avas called. Mr.
Bacon made a well conceived and feeling address, in reply, and
spoke with much earnestness to the teachers of the labor that
was jointly before them. Immediately on the close of his address,
his son. Master Frank Bacon, a child of the infant school, in an
artless manner, presented to Mr. Trowbridge, on behalf of the
infant scholars, a splendid royal octavo Bible, with the name,
" Otis Trowbridge," on the cover, and within, the inscription, " A
tribute of affection from the infant class of the Elliot Sabbath
School to their Superintendent." Mr. Trowbridge, being taken
by surprise, Avas much affected by this token of love ; and hardly
had made suitable acknowledgment, when Mr. Wm. J. Gilbert rose,
in behalf of the whole school, and presented to Mr. Trowbridge
a valuable purse of money, and an elegant Parlor Melodeon,
valued at $100. It is but just to the Trowbridge family, to re
mind them that, by the persevering efforts of Mr. Otis Trow
bridge, a valuable pamphlet, containing the descendants of Dea
con James Trowbridge, the youngest son of the settler, was pub
lished in 1854, which has been of essential service to the com
piler in making out this history. Mr. Trowbridge died January
20, 1863, beloved and lamented by all who knew him.

the age of sixteen, when he lost his father. He then resided Avith
a sister in Lockport, and attended a classical school during the
Winter of 1844^5. Hitherto he had enjoyed only the advantages
of a District School, in a common country town, but being pas
sionately fond of books, and devoting himself to study, out of
school, he had learned to read and translate French and German
with ease, without the assistance of a t&cher. At this early
period, he read and digested the works of the most noted of the
English poetical and prose writers, and conceived the idea of
himself becoming an author, and amid poverty and discourage
ments, sufficient to crush a man of ordinary mind, advanced,

his graduation, in 1848, he received a .commission in the Corps
of Engineers of the United States army. During the same year
he was sent back to the Military Academy as assistant to Pro
fessor Bartlett in the Department of Philosophy, where he
remained during three years. In 1851 he was detailed for duty
on the United States Coast Survey, under Professor Bache,
which position he occupied for five years. During this period
he was engaged, first, in the triangulation of the coast of Maine,
then in the survey of the James and Appomattox rivers, in Vir
ginia, and, in 1853, he was sent to the coast of California to con
duct a series of tidal and magnetic observations, extending from
San Diego to Puget Sound, a distance of thirteen hundred
miles. This duty occupied three years. After his return from
California he was offered a Professorship in the University of
Michigan, which he accepted, resigning his commission in the
army for that purpose. At the end of a year he returned to the
Coast Survey, at the solicitation of Professor Bache, and remained
in the Survey as his assistant until the breaking out of the
rebellion. At the beginning of the war he was selected by
Cl-eneral Totten, late Engineer in Chief of the army, to take
charge of the branch office of the Engineer Department, in New
York City, where he was charged with the construction of
fortifications on the East Eiver, including the new fort at
Hallet's Point, opposite Fort Schuyler, the alteration and
repairs of Fort Schuyler, and the alteration and repairs of the
fortifications of Governor's Island. He was also charged with
the construction of pontoon bridges for the armies in the field,
supplying them with materials and tools for conducting siege
operations, and for building temporary fortifications. He had
charge also of the supplies of materials — granite, brick, lumber,
iron — and machinery for the permanent fortifications of the
Atlantic coast, frora Maine to New Orleans. In 1805, he Avas
offered, without solicitation, the position of Vice Piresident of
the Novelty Iron Works, the largest manufacturing establish
ment in New York City, an establishment devoted to the con
struction of marine engines and heavy machinery of all kinds.
This position he occupied until the works were finally closed, on
account of the falling off of the steamship building business, and
after remaining nearly a year, to assist in closing up the affairs
of the works, he was offered and accepted the appointment of a
Professorship in Yale College, in the Sheffield Scientific School,

APPENDIX

NOTE A.

A brief sketch of Taunton, in Somersetshii-o, the birth-place and early home
of Thomas Trowbridge, the Primitive Settler.
" Tamiton has ever been a principal town in the county of Somerset. Be
fore the modern improvements were introduced, it was deemed well built.
Its streets are spacious, as it extends over a considerable extent of ground.
The houses, even in the middle of it, are furnished with good outlets, which
contribute much to the pleasantness and salubrity of the town, as well as to
the convenience of its inhabitants. It is a mile long, from east to west, and
its streets have a gradual descent to the river. It stands in a fertile and ex
tensive vale, and is called by Camden one of the eyes of the county. The
county all around, is beautified with green meadows, abounds in delightful
orchards and gardens ; is enriched with wood, and peopled with numerous
villages, so as to exhibit to the eye of the spectator, who approaches the
town, a charming scene. The county in itself, though, in the Winter, moist
and marshy, is supposed, by some, to derive its name (Somersetshire) from
the summerlike temperature of the air. The part of it in which Taunton is
situated has, if not an exclusive, yet a peculiar claim to the excellent quali
ties ascribed to the whole. On account of its fertility, the peasantry used to
boast that it was so fruitful with the Zun and Zoil, alone, as to need no
manuring. This county is called by the inhabitants, Taunton Dean, that is
the vale of Taunton, and from the high conceit of its pre-eminence above
other counties, hath arisen a beautiful proverb — " Wliere slwuldlhe horn, else,
but Taunton Bean!' — as if it were a disparagement to be born in any other
place ; and none in England, nay, in the whole world, were to be compared
with it. Dr. Amory, a native of this town, published, in 1734, a beautiful
poem descriptive of the town.'' (Facfe James Savage's Bistwy of Taunton,
page S.)  NOET B.
TROWBHIDGE CHARITY.
[A gift from Thomas Trowbridge, uncle of Thomas Trowbridge, the Primitive
Settler, to the poor of the Church of St. Mary Magdalen, in Taunton,
Somersetshire, England.]
" On the 4th of December, 1614, Thomas Trowbridge, the elder, of Taun
ton, merchant tailor, granted, and assigned, unto ten trustees, two closes, or

343 TROWBRIDGE FAMILY.
pieces of ground, called Tunawaj's, the one consisting of flve acres, and the
other being one, and lying in West Monkton, for the residue of one thousand
years, commencing on the 28th of September, 1613, upon trust, that out of
the rents and profits of the said closes, then worth six pounds per annum,
clear to pasture, there should be paid, on St. Andrew's Day, 3'early, unto the
churchwardens and overseers of St. Mary Magdalen, six pounds, whereof
they were to pay, on that day, yearly, to the churchwardens and overseers
of St. James', in or near Taunton, forty shillings, to be bjr them distributed
among forty of the poorest, oldest, and most honest, Impotent poor of that
parish, by a shilling a-piece, the distribution to be made on St. Thomas' Day,
before Christmas ; and within a month after such distribution, the said over
seers of St. James', to give a note of the names of those that received the
said benevolence to the churchwardens and overseers of St. Mary Magdalen,
aforesaid. " And that the residue, being four founds, should be distributed by the
said churchwardens and overseers of St. Mary Magdalen, amongst eighty of
the like poor of that parish, by one shilling a-piece, the same day, and a note
kept of the names of the said poor, and such names delivered in at Easter,
before the Constables of the borough of Taunton, two or more of the trus
tees being called in. And if the profits amounted to more than six pounds,
the residue to be, in like manner, distributed among the poor of Taunton, St.
Mary Magdalen, and to be accounted for as aforesaid. And if the profits should
not amount to six pounds, then a proportional abatement to be made on
each parish, and the residue to be distributed as aforesaid. And when the
number of trustees should come to four, then a new deed to be made to some
person or persons, who shonld assign their interest back again to these four,
and as many more as they should think expedient, the major part to be the
most suflBcient and honest inhabitants of the town of Taunton ; so that the
term might be preserved to the uses aforesaid. And that this gift should go
on to the increase of the relief of the poor, and not to ease any rate or taxa
tion. And the donor desired that the poor should be assembled on St.
Thomas' Day, at Divine service, at their respective parish churches, except
such as could not ; and after the distribution made, tlie donors name men
tioned, and they put in mind to thank God for His mercy.''
" In the return of charitable donations, in 1787, this benefaction is said to
produce the annual sum of eight pounds, and the trustees were Joseph
Blarman, William Pring, and Thomas Locke." {Vide History of Taunton,
England, published in 1833.)

NOTE I.
Letters from Wm. E. Tro-wbridge to his father, Thomas E. Trowloridge, of
New Haven.
Deae Father, At Sea, October 6th, 1863.
In compliance with your request, I commence my letters with expectation
of continuance of them during my tour.
We have now been out from New York just ten days, and have made a
flne run of 3,500 miles. We hope to make the southern coast of Ireland this
afternoon, arriving at Queenstown early in the evening. We shall remain

TROWBRIDGE FAMILY. 357
there not longer than one hour; shall then cross the Channel to Liverpool.
The voyage, thus far, has been one of universal pleasantness, the weather
has been flne, and we have made a good run every day ; the " Etna " is a
fine bark-rigged Steamer and has everything suited for the welfare and
pleasure of her passengers ; the Captain and Officers are gentlemen, and do
all in their power for the comfort of their passengers. To give you some
little idea of the mode we spend our time on ship-board, we take breakfast
at 9 a. m., after which we talk or read, or enjoy ourselves on the quarter
deck until 13 m., we then partake of lunch — after lunch I spend my time in
reading — at 4 o'clock we are called to a sumptuous dinner, then it is tliat the
subject of Secession is discussed by all who are present, foremost among all
is heard the voice of my " Compagnon du Voyage," Mr. B  , laying down
the law in his peculiar and characteristic style ; he always, to my mind, has
the best of the argument in the debate, and the Rebels receive no excuse
from him. After dinner we lounge about the ship, thinking of home, and
of what our friends are doing. At 1\ p. m. supper, various amusements in
the evening, and thus the day passes, and our voyage. I am reading
" Eothen," a book on eastern travel ; it is a series of biblical scenes. I am
also interested in " Stephens' Travels in Egypt, &c.," as I expect to visit the
places mentioned by him. I expect, however, to see more than he mentions,
as my motto is the "festino lente" of the ancients, or, in other words, I shall
pass over land and water with moderate haste. The magnitude and splen
dor (if I may call it so) of my travels in the Eastern World, are now, since
I left home, beginning to break in upon my mind, and with thankfulness
for permitting me and my friend, Mr. B  , to travel in those lands
trodden but by few comparatively. My friend, Mr. B  , is perfectly
happy in thinking and talking of our projected tour, and his gratitude
to you is very great for the invitation to travel with me. Good night. W.
Note.— Mr. B  was a Congregational Minister, invited by Mr. T. to

Dear F  : Li"Vbepool, October 9th, 1863.
I last wrote you on the 6th, one day before we reached Queenstown ; we
arrived at that place on the 7th, at 3 a. m., remaining there but one hour,
to land a few of our passengers. We then steamed away for Liverpool, at
which place we arrived yesterday morning at 9 o'clock ; the sail across tlie
Channel was unpleasant, on account of the thick mist and rain which are so
usual in and around England; it has rained all the time I have been
here, and the people fiere say that this sort of weather is most frequent ; it
is quite a change from' the genial and pleasant weather of our country. I
cannot describe my feelings as I flrst trod the soil of Old England, the
home of my ancestors ; it seemed like commg home. I thought how you
would enjoy visiting the country from which our ancestors emigrated nearly
350 years ago. I do not propose to travel in England until my return from
the 'uery old world/ this place has been described so often by travelers from

358 TROWBRIDGE FAMILY.
our country, that I shall not attempt it. I have " done " Liverpool as much
as is possible in such short time, and such weather. I have visited the
celebrated Doctcs, the best, in every particular, in the world, built of the most
substantial masonry possible, are, for the most part, quadrangular in shape,
having large gates to hold in the water, when the tide falls outside, as it
does to the number of twenty or more feet. In case of severe storms ships
within these docks are safe, in the stream outside they are exposed to much
damage in bad weather, and in many cases are wrecked ; there are ten miles
of these docks, and nearly all are fllled with ships from all quarters of the
globe. I visited the " St. George's Hall," the great building of the city; it is
a grand structure, of a kind of sand stone, lofty and well proportioned in its
^arts; it is used for public meetings, musical concerts, &c., it will seat up
wards of 3,000 persons with ease. The Railroad Depot is a flne structure,
and has an air of substantiality which our buildings, for like purposes, do
not possess ; the cars, however, are small, and something quite novel to me,
were not supplied teith bratces ; the trunks of passengers are placed on the
top of the cars, and thus the English travel. I do not believe that there has
been any improvement in Hotels here for years, there is none of that striking
elegance which we meet with at our New York hotels, everything is old
fashioned, but the food is good, and would suit anybody in the world. I was
struck with the substantiality which seemed to pervade everything I saw in
the city — -the streets clean, the stores built to last for ages, carriages are
strongly built, the description of the city, and everything in it, is, however,
so often written by travelers that I will not be too minute. I flnd that we
can take a steamer here direct for Alexandria, in Egypt, for £33 13s. sterling
each, and liave engaged passages in the steamer " Laconia," 1,500 tons bur
then, a flne vessel in every particular, and will sail to-morrow, the 10th,
from Wellington Dock. As we are in haste to reach Egypt, will write you
on the passage thence. W  .

Dear F  : In the Mediteeeanean, October 19, 1863.
I left Liverpool in the steamer " Laconia," on the 10th inst., for Alexan
dria, Egypt, at 9 a. m. It was a beautiful day, and as we sailed down the
Mersey, we had a fine view of English landscape, and of that town so much
detested by Americans, Birkenhead."*" We saw a great many steamers and
other vessels, of all kinds, 1 may say in almost countless numbers — among
others the " Scotia," bound to America. I waved a farewell to her; she
bound to my home, and I just beginning my tour, en route to Egypt. We
arrived at the Holyhead Light, at 6 p. m., and had a very fine view of the
lofty mountains of Wales. Soon, however, we lost sight of the land, and
steamed down the Channel. We had fine weather until Monday, and all
went on " merrily as a marriage bell " until we arrived in the " Bay of Bis
cay," and then what a change ; such rough weather as we then met with, I
have never before witnessed ; the waves came tumbling and rolling over the
ship at a most fearful rate, threatening to sink us every moment ; the wind
* Obnoxious to Americans as the place of building the notorious " Alabama," and other
Privateers, for the Southerners.

TROWBRIDGE FAMILY. 359

blowing so hard that no sails could be kept on the ship to steady her, she
rolled fearfully, but was steered straight, and like Paul, of yore, we let her drine.
We went on, on, on, hoping that the wind and sea would fall ; but no, the
sea increased, and with it the wind. This severe gale lasted three long and
gloomy days and nights. A night in a gale in the Bay of Biscay, is awful—
the passengers all sea-sick, except myself and two others. 1 could not help
thinking, tlien, of all at home out of harm's way, and I tossed " in the Bay of
Biscay O." The first land we saw was Cape Finisterre, in Spain. We then
continued southward, and reaching Portugal, passing Vigo, Oporto, and
Aveido, near where Wellington landed with his troops. We have also
passed Lisbon, on the Tagus ; the coast is bold and steep, and covered with
cork trees. The view is grand. It seemed rather singular for me to be
ploughing the very waters that the Spanish Armada crossed years ago to
desolate England, and returned so soon with disabled ships and diminished
forces. That land, too, just off there, is the very same that the Moors held
for centuries, when Ferdinand and Isabella reigned, the greatest and best
of Spain's monarchs.
Ponce de Leon, too, achieved his glorious titles and deeds there ; there, too,
were fought those terrible and decisive battles between the " Crescent and
the Cross.'' I tell you it seems strange — like living in another world — to
be where a nation counts its greatness by centuries, and where the lands, and
even the seas, are replete with historic interest. I intend to give you an ac
count of the voyage — therefore the thoughts will, of course, be rambling._
Yesterday was a day which will never fade from my memory, as being
the day when I saw Gibraltar and passed the Straits. I was on deck at 7
a. m., and we were then off Tangiers, and entering the Straits. The Spanish
coast was on our left — bold, steep, and dotted with houses and olive trees.
The land was the most undulating I have ever seen. The view was mag
nificent. Old Spanish watch towers were scattered along the coast, which
were doubtless built by those Moors who ruled Spain' for centuries. Tan
giers soon opened to view behind a high neck of land ; it is nestled on a
hill-side, and is a city of no small interest, on account of the battles which
have been fought there by the English and Spanish. On the Spanish side,
directly opposite Tangiers, is " Trafalgar Bay," where Nelson, with but fif
teen ships, attacked and conquered the French, with thirty ships, as they
were at anchor inside the bay. There is nothing remarkable or attractive
about the bay, as far as natural beauty is concerned ; it is merely a low,
curving, sand beach. Further on we passed near to Algeciras, and saw the
town where the Spanish Queen sat in her chair on the beach to see the Spanish
fleet take the fortress of Gibraltar. It was not captured, and she retm-ned
sadly disappointed and dejected. At 11 o'clock we passed Gibraltar. I had
a splendid view of the Rock and of the fortifications. It was the grandest
spectacle I have seen thus far. On one side the Rock rises to a height of
3,000 feet ; on the other side it slopes off gradually to the Mediterranean ;
the fortifications are near the bottom, and extend up to about one-third of the
height of the mountain. They consist of terrace after terrace of solid rock
hewn out and filled with heavy cannon. All the navies in the world, together
with all the " Iron Gun-boats," would not even make an impression on the rock
sides of this fortress. The English have held it since 1704, and probably will

360 TROWBRIDGE FAMILY.
hold it as long as the world stands. It was from this fortress that red hot bails
were first used in warfare. Just here we saw a large ship, presenting a beau
tiful appearance ; and just before she passed us, she threw out the " Stars and
Stripes" to the breeze. As I saw them flying, I could not but think of the
glory of our country, and hope that the rebellion now going on at home
might be crushed, and that the " American Flag," that glorious emblem of
Liberty, might float in victory over every portion of our country, from Maine
to Texas, and from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
Directly opposite to Gibraltar, is the African Coast. Gibraltar, and the rock
opposite, are what the ancients called the " Pillars of Hercules." They well
deserve the name. It was on this rock, on the African coast, that the
Moorish General Tarik looked down upon the vine-clad hills of Spain, and,
with his multitudes of Moors, dashed over the waters and took possession of
the land, with the sign of the Crescent emblazoned on their battle flags.
How often, when in college, I have read In the Latin and Greek, of " two
Pillars of Hercules " in the far, far West. How often I have heard of re
gions still farther West, which the ancients believed existed, but had not the
courage to penetrate to them ; and now I have come from those far western
shores, and have passed between these same old pillars. Through these pil
lars the ships of the ancient Tyrians sailed, on their voyages to Cornwall, in
England, to obtain tin. Here passed Roderick, the Goth. " The Cid," too,
has ploughed these self-same waters, and achieved those famous deeds so
renowned in Spanish history. The Moors have swept these same straits in
their piratical crafts, and how many bloody tales could be told, if these
waters and rocks could but speak forth what they have for ages witnessed.
I almost imagine that I can now see some antique bark sailing along, bound
to what were then unknown and dark lands. But these have passed away,
and scarcely the memory of them in history exists. I feel now that every
inch of this " Classic Sea," this " Mare Internum" of the ancients, is historic
— every wave seems to tell of by-gone times, and of nations crumbled to
dust. For the past two days, the surface of the sea has been without even a ripple
— the sunsets are gorgeous — the moonlight nights are beautiful — and nature
makes everything attractive.
We shall reach Malta on the 33d, and thence proceed direct to Alexandria,
in Egypt. How strange that, only one month ago, I was in the New World,
and am now here. W  .

Deae F  : Albxandeia, Egypt, Oct. 39th, 1863.
I last wrote you from near Malta ; the letter went via Marseilles, and will
reach you, doubtless, in about three weeks from the time it was mailed. My
visit to Malta was a bright spot in my life, and I shall always remember my
visit there With the greatest pleasure. We sighted the island about sun
down, and at seven o'clock in the evening, as the pale moon was shining
brightly, we passed by " St. Paul's Bay," and soon after we entered the bay
of the little town, " Valetta.'' It was a grand sight, I can assure you, as she
sailed slowly up the harbor, passing the forts and ships of war. The moon
light was so clear that -we could see the whole of the beautiful city spread-

TROWBRIDGE FAMILY. 36]
ing itself out before us, more like a picture than a busy active town. In the
morning of the following day, at seven o'clock, I went ashore and visited
first the " Palace of the Knights of St. John." You will find out all about
them in your " C}'clopedia American." They built this noble and magnifi
cent building in the year A. D. 1500. The things worthy of special notice,
are the portraits of their former patrons, Louis XIV. and XVL, also some of
the English contemporary monarclis. The pavement is of beautiful mosaic
work, with the coats of arms of the Grand Masters. Along the lialls on
either side stand the representatives of the knights, clothed in the ancient
coats of armor. In their hands arc lances, and there they stand, as if ready
at the call of the Grand Master to hurl their messengers of death against tho
invading Turk. One armor, that of Vagincourt, is inlaid with gold, and is a
beautiful specimen of the artificers' work of that time. Their Council cham
ber is surrounded on all sides by " Goblin tapestry," the gift of the rich and
powerful Louis XIV. But far surpassing all in historic interest, is the Armory
of the Knights. Here are collected the ancient field pieces, pistols, lances
clubs, in short all the weapons of offense and defense used by the Knights.
Here also are the sceptres of the First and Last Grand Masters — one is of
gold, the other of silver; the "'edict of the Pope," about 1150, giving legal
existence to the knights as a body in defense of Christianity; the "bugle"
which sounded the blast as the Order left Rhodes ; the " Proclamation of
Charles V.," giving uj) the island of Malta to the Knights.
In the entrance below is the carriage of Valette, he from whom the cit}' is
called Valetta. This carriage is massive and dilapidated. I entered it for
curiositjf, and nearly brought the whole stnicture down upon my luckless
head. Its age is about 350 years. I left the palace with thoughts of the
old Knights being around me. Here they reigned, lived and died, having
achieved a name which will be glorious while time shall last. I wish I could
tell you more about this beautiful palace, but as I have to write on other
subjects, I will say no more at this time.
From the palace I went to the church of St. John, where the knights held
service more than 300 years ago. This church is a noble building, and days
would be required to see it and study it thoroughly. I saw the Silrer Qates,
and entered the Ciypt, where the dust of the Grand Masters repose in sacred
silence, disturbed only by an occasional visitor. It seemed like holy ground,
tliis Crypt, where those old and venerable masters sleep in death. The statu
ary and paintings in the church are very interesting, though not of an ex
tra high order, if I except the paintings of the fiagellation of our Saviour, of
St. Michael, and the beheading of St. John, which last is very valuable, on
account of its great age.
Leaving the church, we visited the fortifications, and looked off on the
bosom of the blue sea, and down upon the busy little city below. The city
has from the harbor an oriental aspect, which in a degree vanishes when one
enters it. We purchased all sorts of delicious fruit at very low prices, and
at one p. m. we steamed off for Alexandria. Gradually the beautiful Island
grew fainter and fainter, until nothing but blue sea could be seen on all sides.
I wish I could write more about Matta — about the natives, but I have so
many other things to write about, that I have to forego that pleasure until a
more favorable opportunity.

303 TROWBRIDGE FAMILY'.
We arrived in Alexandria the fourth day from Malta, in just thirty-one
days from New Haven.
In my next I will give you my experience of Oriental life. W.

Dear F  : Alexandria, Egypt, Oct. 30, 1863.
My last announced my arrival at this city, from Malta, on the 37th inst.
On landing, we immediately were pounced upon by "Dragomans," but
finally found the P. and O. Hotel, and secured a good room at ten shillings
each per day, including board. About one hour after landing, we enjoyed a
donkey ride to Pompey's Pillar and to Cleopatra's Needle. Away we went,
John Gilpin like, in considerable trepidation at the way the donkeys went.
We could only cry out in broad English, " Stop my donkey," — the Arab boys
only drove the donkeys the swifter, and in spite of all danger, we were soon
at the foot of " Pompey's Pillar." This is a glorious old Pillar, 98 feet in
height ; and what feelings came upon me as I sat at the base, where thous
ands of Egyptians passed and repassed centiiries ago. New scenes surround
this ancient Pillar, and I thought of it only as a sort of sentinel all alone,
watching over the heaps of dirt which doubtless covel- the palaces of the
Ptolemies and the beautiful city of the Egyptian Queen Cleopatra. After
leaving this solitary monument of the past, we mounted our donkeys and
galloped oft' to " Cleopsttra's Needle." The ride was delightful, through long
avenues, by the wells built by Alexander, past the forts of the Pasha and
those of Napoleon. We reached the " Needle." I dismounted and stood
with silent awe a spectator of the aged and celebrated Needle. Cleopatra
had nothing whatever to do with this ; one of the Ptolemies brought it from
Syene, in Upper Egypt, more than Two Thousand years ago, and placed it
where it now stands all alone by the sea side, viewing the downfall of the
Old City and the building of the New. Where did this Needle come from at
first'? Who sculptured the, figures on its sides? What is its age ? These
unanswerable questions arose in my mind. I sketched its form, and copied
some of its hieroglyphics. The following day (yesterday) I visited the Cata
combs of Cleopatra, entered their depths, and saw where the ancient dead re
posed until the rude hand of the curious disturbed ther rest. When I
emerged from these catacombs, what a noise stunned my ears: "Buck-
sheesh," " Bucksheesh." I had a few American pennies, which I threw to
the beggars, and they fought like tigers for the coppers. I wish you iiad
been there to enjoy the scene. On my way home, I passed the Summer
House of the Pasha. It is quite alone in a beautiful garden of date trees.
There he and his pretty Circassian wives pass the warm summer days in
neglectful ease.
I have been all through and through the town, and have learned some
thing of Oriental life. I shall see much more of it, however, at Cairo. I go
to that city to-morrow. The streets here are narrow, and filled with people
from almost all parts of the world. The women are so completely covered
that nothing but their eyes are visible. This style of dress is ordered by the
" Koran." The donkeys are only about three feet high, and will scamper off
with an immense Turk as easily as with a boy of twelve years of age. The

TROWBRIDGE FAMILY. 363
donkey boys are bright, active little fellows, and beg you to hire their don
keys. One little fellow, about ten years old, wanted me to take his donkey;
he said he was the best in the city, on account of his name being " Yankee
Doodle." He knew me to be an American, and called his donkey accord
ingly. Many of these boys speak a little English.
Many Dragomans have called on me, stating their prices for the trip on
the Nile. The price seems to be £50 for each passenger for the trip to the
second cataract. I shall not make any arrangements till I arrive at Cairo.
I am certain that my trip up the Nile will be splendid. The boats are roomy,
and the food said to be equal to that of European hotels. I anticipate great
pleasure from this time, as I am now fairly started on my tour. I shall keep
you well posted, and in my next shall give you my views of this strange
land. W.

Dbae P  : Cairo, Egypt, Nov. 3, 1863.
I last wrote you from Alexandria, the day previous to my departure for
Cairo. I was up earlj- on that morning, and started for the depot to pur
chase tickets for Cairo. I thought of home when 1 was getting tickets at the
the office. There I was, crowded by Turks, Greeks, Syrians, Arabs, Nubians,
Italians and all other nations. I scarcely knew whether I was in or out of
the body, but I finally got the tickets, and .then such an ordeal as I had in
getting my baggage, checked to Cairo, will defy all expression. Like every
traveler, I stuck to my baggage— and such a confused and mixed assembly of
travelers I uerer saw before. We were all crowded into a small room, and
such a din and confusion of foreign tongues— such crowding and pushing I
hope never again to experience. Well, not to tire you, I got my baggage at
tended to, and then started to find a couple of seats in the cars. These were
found with the utmost difficulty, but at last I squeezed myself in among two
Englishmen, one Chinese, one German, one Greek and one Syrian— a motley
car load, but a sociable and companionable party. The time for leaving was
now come, the whistle blew, and off we sped like lightning for Cairo.
Leaving Alexandria behind, we passed "Pompey's Pillar" in plain sight
on the left, and the "Palus Mareotus" on the right. The goodiy land of
Bgypt lay on all sides, spread out with its fertile flelds of corn and cotton.
Occasionally we sped by a small Egyption village, and once or twice saw an
encampment of Bedouin Arabs from the Great Desert. It seemed rather in
congruous with the past history of Egypt to be flying over this land with
rapidity. At twelve, noon, we reached Kafr E'Zayat. Here we were
obliged, on account of the railroad being destroyed by the overflow of the
Nile, to proceed the remaining 100 miles to Cairo by steamer. We accord
ingly went on board, and in a few minutes were afloat on the Nile. I could
with difficulty believe that I was sailing on the same old river that the boats
of Cleopatra, that Plato, Pythagoras and Herodotus had sailed upon ages
ago. I looked off to the banks on either side and saw the tall, majestic
palms, and far up the river, as I saw the boats, with their great lateen sails,
and heard voices in the Arab tongue, then I realized that I was in the land
of the Ptolemies and Pharaohs. Our sail to Cairo was extremely interesting.
The Nile has in some places leaped its banks to such an extent that many

364 TROWBRIDGE FAMILY.
acres of rich land are submerged ; and now and then you pass immense
Sj'camore trees, appearing to grow in a large lake. Far ahead we could see
what seemed to be beautiful stone cities, surrounded by palm trees, but as
we gradually drew nearer, we discovered them to be remnants of Egypt's
past glory. They were flltliy mud villages, built in every instance upon a
rising eminence. Here, for unknown ages, the old cities have been buried,
aud upon them, or over them, are built these abominable mud villages.
Every village had a tall mosque, displaying- the crescent to our view. Con
spicuous also were large white tombs, built just outside of the village.
These cover the remains of " Sautons," or holy men, who are no more than
idiotic or insane men. These men are so adored by the people that children
are placed so that the Sauton's spittle may fall upon them, and thus be
sanctifled (as it were) for time and for etei-nitj'. I saw one of these miserable
beings in Alexandria last week. He simply had a blue cotton rag about his
loins, his head closely shaved, and was lying in the street, throwing his long
bony arms about at a furious rate, looking more like a fiend than a human
being with an immortal soul. Strange that the descendants of the Pharaohs
should adore and revere such miserable idiots. Great villians in this land,
when they desire to elude punishment for crime, put on the garb of a Sau-
ton, iind pretend to be idiotic — thus saving themselves from public ven
geance. We passed on our trip the identical spot where Alexander is said to have
crossed, when he went into the desert to consult the priests of " Jupiter
Ammon" about his true parentage. How often at college have I read of
this journey of Alexander, and how great was my interest as I looked upon
the spot where he passed the Nile.
The land of Egypt is low and flat, and lacks that beautiful mountain
scenery which renders our rivers so famous for natural beauty, but the old
Nile flows down now, as it did when our world was young ; and I live in
the past generations, and think of the mighty cities built along the banks of
this river — think of the Pharaohs, the Ptolemies, and the former splendor
and glory of this historic countiy. Their monarchs and their beautiful cities
have ceased to exist, and in their stead, an ignorant populace, with these
filthy, dirty mud villages, have grown up.
At twelve o'clock at night we stopped at " Boulack," two miles south of
Cairo — the seaport of Cairo, if I may call it so. I took the Shepherd's
Hotel carriage, and rode off to the Cairo of the Caliphs. In a short space of
time we were in Cairo — the victorious, glorious Cau-o ! I could hardly be
lieve that I breathed the air of that old city, whose histoi-y I have so often
read, but whose gates I never thought of entering. But here I was, and I
finally realized the fact in passing through streets so narrow as scarcely to
admit of the entrance of a carriage. The following morning I walked about
the city, and saw Oriental life in perfection. In the afternoon I mounted a
small donkey, (evei-ybody here rides donkeys,) and rode off to the citadel.
From this place I gazed upon the " Gizah Pyramids " and those of Sokaria.
There they were right before me — those eaigjnas which all the scientiflc men
of ages never can solve. I could trace the Nile as it wound along to the
south, and the immense Desert stretched off as far as the eye could reach.
Old Cairo, too, lay beneath us, with its 400 mosques glittering in the sun-

TROWBRIDGE FAMILY. 365

light. I stood on the same spot where the Mamelukes were treacherously
slaughtered by Mahomet All. I entered the Grand Mosque of the latter, and
saw the tomb erected to his meme*y. I was obliged to put on, over my
boots, red cloth shoes or slippers, so as not to pollute the sanctity of the place
by tlie tread of my feet. For alas, here I was regarded as nothing but " a
Christian dog."
I must close now, and at another time give you an account of my sight
seeing in and around this famous city. W.

Deae F  : Cairo, Egypt, November, 1863.
I will continue my letter, left abrubtly a day or two ago.
Leaving the Grand Mosque, I passed the Harem of the Viceroy and saw
Joseph's Well, 340 feet deep. Many believe that this well teas built by
Joseph, the son of Jacob. I passed down to the city and returned home by
the Bazaars. These are so narrow that the tops are covered with mats to
keep out the sun's ra3's. The Bazaar is nothing but a long narrow street,
with small shops on either side. The Tunis bazaars are so narrow that I
was nearly toppled off my donkey as I rode through. The scenes among
these bazaars are intensely interesting, as being the most strictly Oriental
place in the world. As I rode along on my little donkey, I could not but
think what you would say, could you see me, now running against an old
Turk, or driving through a number of Bedouin Arabs just in from the Desert,
again meeting naked children and young women, clothed with nothing but
their long gowns, open in front. I never witnessed such a mixed assembly
of human beings before. Constantinople is nothing to be compared to Cairo
in Oriental life. European life is rendering the former Occidental, while it is
so slight here as to make no impression. I was much amused in seeing little
boys, no larger than the children at home of six or eight years, hard at work
^in the gunsmith's shops and also in making shoes. The smart little fellows
were as sedate and sober as old men.
You would have been much interested in riding through this delightful
city. Yesterday I went to the s3'camore tree where the Virgin rested with
the Saviour in her flight into Egypt. I plucked some leaves from the tree,
which I send you herewith. I climbed the tree and cut my name in the
branches among countless numbers of other names cut thereon by travelers.
This Sycamore is in a beautiful garden, and in a most beautiful sjjot. Tropi
cal fruits of all descriiJtions — roses and hundreds of deliciously smelling
shrubs— surround you on all sides. Just as I left this garden, I passed the
well which they say sprung from the place where the Virgin struck her foot
when she had thirst. I was beset by " bucksheesh '' beggars in this almost
sacred spot. I gave one man a few " paras " (farthings) for a bouquet which
he picked for me. I wish you could have been with me tliere. What a
splendid spot it would be for you to recline when fatigued — lulled to sleep
by the music of birdft — and at the same time feeling that you were in a hal
lowed place.
1 left for Heliopolis, which is but a short distance. I rode along the
" goodly land of Goshen" — the rough avenues of acacia and sycamore trees

366 TROWBRIDGE FAMILY.
— the very road, doubtless, that the So-ns of Jacob passed over when they
came down to buy corn. I passed a number pf wells of great antiquity, and
who knows but that they drew water from these same wells '? The fields are
productive in a great degree, and for miles you can see the waving corn, and
many flelds of cotton. I do not wonder that the Israelites regretted
having left this delightful land, for it is the pleasantest that I ever beheld.
We were now at the small mud village of Matareeyeh, occupying the site
of Heliopolis, or On of the Bible. As we passed tlirough this abominably
dirty town, we were followed by hungry dogs and half clothed women and
children, crying " bucksheesh, Howajji." In the walls of this village I saw
stones with old hieroglyphics cut deep in their surface. These stones, and
the lovely, solitai-y Obelisk, which now opened to view around the corner,
are all that remains of that famous city, Heliopolis, the Oxford of Egypt.
I sat before that Obelisk, and thought of the greatness of the city where
Plato and Eudoxus studied, where Pharaoh of the Exodus lived, where
Moses lived, where Joseph married his wife. I sketched the monument
with its sacred writings. Just think of it; this Obelisk was placed here in
the time of Abraham. It has seen the glory of the ancient city. Its form has
been gazed upon by Joseph daily. Moses passed it hundreds of times. It
is now the only part of that famous city. There it has stood for four
thousand years, and is now as magnificent as when flrst jjlaced there by old
Osirtasen. Just upon leaving this monument, children and men begged for " buck
sheesh," and having no money, I offered a sandwich which I was just about
eating, but they recoiled as if it had been poison. They would not touch
the liam. I ate the ham, much to their astonishment.
After leaving, I looked off towards old Cairo and saw the Pyramids alone
in their grandeur, and the Desert with its trackless wastes, and the Nile
coursing far to the south. How often have the people of Heliopolis viewed
that same scene. Where are_tliey now ? Not even a vestige of their glory
remains. A fllthy mud village is built upon and over the once noble and
famous city. How true the .prophecy: "Not one stone shall be left upon
another." I could write pages of interesting matter, but have not the time.
To-morrow I go to the "Nileometer" and Island of Rhoda, where tra
dition states that Moses was drawn from the bulrushes. W.

Dear F  : Cairo, November 13, 1863.
I wrote you last by steamer of the 7th inst., since which I have arranged
for our trip up the Nile. We have now for the present flnished Cairo, the
Victorious, the Cairolhat made " the Prophet" smile. We went last to the
Mosque of Amer, in Old Cairo, which was built A. D. 700, more than 1100
years ago ! There are two marble pillars upon the same pedestal in this
mosque, about ten inches apart. Whoever passes between these is certain
of entering the Paradise of the Prophet, and of spending. eternity in per
petual youth with the " Houris." J passed through easily, but my friend,
Mr. B., tugged and tried with all his might, but alas ! it was all in vain. He
got wedged in, and then came Virgil's " Hoc opus, hie labor est;' and he came

TROWBRIDGE FAMILY. 367
out again. " The leeks and onions " increase the rotunditj'" of one rapidly
here ; he could not for the life of him pass through. Tradition says that
when this mosque is in ruins, Mahomedanism will cease. The mosque will
be in rums in a few years, and then good bye to the doctrines of the false
Prophet. We went also to the Greek convent near by, and inspecting the
ancient pictures and relics, we were invited by the Prior to seat ourselves at
his side, which we did. We had coffee offered us, and then followed interesting
conversations, etc. Leaving this convent, we visited the Palace and gardens
of Shoobra. The opproach to Shoobra is along an avenue fom- miles long,
with large acacia trees on either side. If you imagine Temple street in
New Haven twice its breadth and four miles long, you will have some small
idea of the beautiful avenue to Shoobra. Arrived there, we entered the
gardens and saw all sorts of fruits and flowers, and saw the palace built by
Mehemet All. The present reigning Pacha uses this as his summer house.
On our way home from Slioobra, we met tlie harem of Helim Bey, brother
to the Pacha. The harem consisted of a large four horse carriage, with
three or four wives of the Pacha's brother. The carriage was preceded by
three runners, to clear the road. It was followed by three eunuchs of the
blaclcest dye, on superb Arab steeds. Thus rolled along the harem of a
young man only 31 years of age. The harem, you must bear in mind, signi-
fles not only the place where the wives are kept, but also the wives collect
ively, and can be applied to two or three of them. Thus, when three wives
of the Pacha are riding in a carriage, it is said that " the Pacha's harem is
coming, clear the road."
This is a strange land, but since I have been here 1 have prized the truth
of the Bible more than ever ; for with my own eyes I have seen how true
were its prophecies regarding Egj'pt and her once powerful cities. Truly,
" her cities have become desolate and without an inhabitant" No atheist
or infidel could see what I have seen, and aver that the Bible is the work of
man and untrue.
When you receive this letter, I shall be far away up the Nile. We leave
Cairo on the 16tli. I shall hoist the " Stars and Stripes" on our boat, and
there it shall wave in the breeze until our voyage is ended. To give you an
idea of life on the Nile, I send a copy of our contract for the trip. As there
were no Americans here to go, Mr. B. and myself take the boat for our
selves " from Cilii-o to Assoum, and back to Cairo." Our dragoman " agrees
to take us to Assoum and back for the sum of £110 sterling. We are to be
allowed 15 days of 13 hours each, or 180 hours sunlight, for stopping on the
downward voyage, for seeing sights and objects of interest, including two
days at Thebes on the voyage up. The days when the boat stops for baking
bread for the crew, and for the convenience of the dragoman, and for any
other cause, except at the travelers' express desire, are not to be included in
the flfteen days. The stoppages may be taken in whole days or in parts of
days. The dragoman is to engage a captain, steersman, and a crew of eight
men, a cook and servant— all to the satisfaction of tlie travelers ; and he and
they are to perform all that may be required of them in their respective
capacities. He is to flnd all washing for the travelers, and the lighting,
which is to consist of candles. He is to supply food and stores of every
kind that may be required, to their satisfaction, (except wines and liquors)

368 TROWBBIDGE FAMILY.
the food to consist of the. following ; — Bebakpast — tea, coffee, two meat
dishes, bread, fresh baked, every second day, butter, eggs and preserves.
Luncheon — bread, butter, cheese, biscuits and fruits. Dinnbe — soup and
fish, one entree ; one dish of meat, one of fowls, one of vegetables at least,
one of pudding or of sweets, cheese, butter and dessert ; coffee after dinner,
and when required during the day ; turkey once a week. Tea — in the eve
ning. If there be no luncheon required, but an early dinner, then a Supper
of sardines, cold meats, preserves, bread aud butter. All these to be pro
vided at such hours as may be required by the travelers ; also oranges,
lemons, or limes, to be provided. The dragoman agrees to pay all 'buck-
stieesh,' as well to the crew as to guides, watchers aud assistants on shore ;
all donkey hire necessary to enable the travelers to visit the ruins and
objects of interest; also all the expenses of every description from the
beginning to the end of the voyage ; and to make no claim for any damage
which the boat may sustain, or for its loss, if such should occur. Every
thing shall be at the risk of the dragoman ; he is to be responsible for the
property of the travelers, and accountable for any loss or difficulty whicli
may be sustained. No other passengers to be taken, nor to use the boat for
trading. If anj^ dispute shall arise regarding the fulfilling of this contract,
it shall be referred to the nearest American Consul," etc., etc.
Such is our arrangement. We prefer to go by ourselves, as we can take
our own time for siglit seeing, having crossed few seas for this purpose.
What do you tliink of " the P"'lesh Pots of Egypt," with such a bill of fare
for a voyage of about flfty or sixty days ? Do you wonder that tlie Children
of Israel wished to return after and during their long wanderings and suffer
ings in the desert ?
I shall not determine respecting our future route until after our return.
It is reported that there is trouble in Syria. I hope 'all Avill be quiet soon in
that section. W.

Gebbl EL Taye, on tlie Nile, Nov. 24, 1863.
De.\E F  :
Last Wednesday, at 4 p. m., we came on board our boat, the " Fortunata,"
and ran up tlie " Stars and Stripes" just as we push«l off from the banks of
the river, and started for the Cataracts in Upper Egypt. As is customary,
we dropped down to Gizoh for the night. On tho following moniing we
set sail for the Cataracts. The river was fllled with boats ascending and
descending ; the sun shone out in his glory peculiar in this land, and our
good boat sped on its way, while the crew of Nubians, of the blackest dye,
sang their Nubian boat songs, while they kept time with their hands to the
gentle tap of the tarbooker, or primitive Egyptian drum.
As wc sailed along by the islands of Rhoda and Gizeh, the old pyramids
stood out in their gray, sombre grandeur, looking down upon us as they did
upon the Egyptian Kings, the Pliaraohs and the Ptolemies ages ago. The
atmosphere was so clear and pure that it seemed as if we could toss a stone
to their cold, dark sides, but this was impossible, for their distance was not
far from ten miles. The smaller and less interesting pyramids of Sakkara
and Dashour were in sight, far off to the south, and at one time I counted

TROWBRIDGE FAMILY. 369
eight in all, which I could clearly see, just as we turned a bend in the river.
I looked back towards "Cairo the Glorious," but nothing could be seen
save the lofty citadel, with its tall, towering minarets, stretching themselves
far upwards into the blue sky, and looking as if the citadel was built in
the very heavens. It was the grandest sjiectacle I have yet witnessed.
We sailed quietly along, passing groves of beautiful and majestic palm
trees, and numbers of small villages ; also the quarries of Masarah, from
which stone have been taken since the Pyramids have been built.
It was time for the sun to set, and soon after " the moon unveiled her
peerless light, and o'er the dark her silverj' mantle threw." Mr. B. and
myself sat for hours upon deck, vie-wing the desert hills on one side, and the
fruitful flelds on the other, as the moon shone down brightly upon them.
Truly, we were sailing upon an enchanted river, as we thought — upon that
river which was turned into blood — upon that river upon whose banks
Jeremiah uttered his " lamentations."
I will here describe our boat, that you may know where and how we live
as we sail along this noble old river. The boat is 70 feet long, 3 feet broad
at her stern, in her middle 13 feet broad ; her bows sharp as a needle — her
mast 30 feet in length — the yard 65 feet — her lateen sail is immense — the
bows are about 2 feet from the water, while the stern is as many as 8 feet
from it. The cabin is, first, a saloon, then a room for Mr. B, a large one for
myself, and then one for our dragoman. Our food is fine, viz. : excellent
soups, beef, turkeys, chickens, varieties of game, bread, butter, cheese, pome
granates, water melons, figs, oranges, almonds, apricots, coffee, tea, etc., etc.
The weather is alwa.ys delightful — the evenings lighted by "Heavens
grand orb" — and we sail along with " nothing to molest or make us afraid."
Occasionally we track the boat for a whole day, which gives us opportunity
to walk on shore, and to visit the villages on the banks. We devise many
expedients to drive off the boys and girls as they follow us, crying for
"bucksheesh." The most effectual way is by brandishing a stout club,
which I always carry on these excursions.
We arrived at Benisoef in the afternoon, passed on, and tied up at a dis
tance of two miles from the village. It was a famous city once, but is now
nothing but a miserable place, possessing no interest for the traveler. The
ruins of interest do not commence until we reach " Es Siout," below Thebes.
At the place where we now are is the old Copt Convent, which is on yonder
cliff. The monks who inhabit it have just been swimming at a great rate to
catch up with us, but they were unsuccessful in their attempts to catch us.
However, they kept up an incessant howl for " bucksheesh." Wl>o ever
heard of monks stripping naked and swimming for charity ? But it is true.
The Arabs all know how to strip— they do it naturally. In one moment
they will doff their habiliments and dance about entirely nude. Naked men
and almost naked women throng the shores at some places and act more
like demons than like human beings. They are, however, innocent m their
want of dress, from necessity, apparently. This village is a miserable place,
and we only stop for a breeze to spring up.
I send this letter by a boat passing for Cairo. My next will be from
Thebes, if it is fortunate to reach you. We expect to reach that old city
about the 5th of December. W-

370 TROWBRIDGE FAMILY'.
Dear F  : Thebes, Egypt, December, 1863.
Since my last I have seen the beautiful temples at Philse ; been in Nubia
and Ethiopia ; visited Elephantine, the Cataracts, Edfou, and all the temples
and places of interest on the Nile, between the Cataracts and Thebes,
although suffering from my recent illness. I made it a point to see every
thing that could be seen, and I have done it, too.
We arrived here several days since, and have seen the temples of Luxor,
Karrm, Goomou, etc. ; have visited the Tombs of the Kings, of the Queens ;
have called upon old Memnon, who for century after centui-y has looked out
upon the east with cold and stony eyes. He is in a sitting posture, and
is sixty feet high ; seventeen feet from his elbow to the tip of his longest
finger. I found one Collossus of granite whos§ ear was longer than from
my elbow to the end of my fingers. There were so many interesting relics
of the Ancients at the various places above and at Thebes, that, were I to
attempt the description of them, I should never come to the end.
I mention a few facts, however. I measured one of the stone pillars at
Karnse, and found it to be thirty-six feet in circumference. I found the
hieroglyphics in one temple cut into the solid rock to the depth of four
inches ; the carved figures on the Luxor obelisk are so deep that I can
thrust my forefinger into them the whole length of it, and these are cut in
the solid granite !
I met with a mishap, one day, when going to Karnse. The saddle girth
broke, the saddle rolled off, and I also— while the little donkey drew me ten
feet over the hard ground. My revolver in my pocket, fortunately, was not
loaded. I have also been into the "Mummy Pits" of Egypt. No words can
express the disgusting scene which presented itself to my eyes while there.
My feet cracked and crushed through the skuTh and bodies of mummied
men and women. To enter the pit, I had to crawl like a snake into a
narrow aperture hardly larger than a window pane, when I found myself
in a large room filled with thousands of bodies, wrapped in shawU as fresh
to-day as they were four thousand years ago. I have some five specimens
which I brought out of the pit. This pit was far, far down in the bowels of
the earth, and there were with me only my dragoman and an Arab. Mr. B.
would not venture in. We had candles, wliich lighted up the pit and filled
it with smoke. The dust from the mummies was so suffocatmg that I could
not endure it. I would not enter it again on any account.
At Thebes "Mustapha Aga," the English and American Consul, has
treated us with great kindness. He has placed a splendid Arab horse at my
disposal, offered me servants, given me several Egyptian antiques, etc., etc.
He is a perfect Arab gentleman. I had him and the Governor to dine with
me on board the " Fortunata," a day or two ago. I visited the Governor at
" Er Siout," when I was there, a few weeks since. He treated us vei-y
politely, gave us coffee, snuf, and the tcliubouk, or pipe.
I must reserve for my next a more detailed account of the vast temples,
tombs and ruins in this place, on both sides of the river.
I doubt if this letter will reach you, as it is carried from Thebes by
runners to Cairo— 500 miles— which takes nine days; thence to France,

TROWBRIDGE FAMILY. 371
thence to England, and thence to America. So it will be a great traveler
before you receive it, if at all. Yours, W.

Dear F  : On the Nile, December 36, 1863.
In my last I gave you an account of the wonderful ruins, etc., at Thebes.
On the day following our departure from that old city, we were at Dendera,
where is one of the grandest temples of Egypt. We visited it, and were
much interested in our visit there. It is a beautiful temple still, although
the hand of some destroying conqueror has mutilated some of the flne
sculptured images on the walls. I went down into subterranean passages
dark as night, and fllled with thousands of hissing bats. The sculptures
down in these dark passages are just as perfect as when chiseled there by
the skillful artist of antiquity. The artist and the chisel are no more, but
there are the sculptures as perfect as life.
From the temple I went to the other side of the river to Keneh. I went
up to the city, visited the old Governor, drove through the bazaars, and
hurried back to the boat, which then started for " Es Siout," where we
arrived in three days. We found there two English and two American
boats ; in one of the latter I found a fellow passenger from New York to
Liverpool. We spent some time together, and then I drove off for the cele
brated tombs of " Es Siout." I walked through dozens of tombs, had a fine
view of Egypt, and filled my pockets with antiques of those who, 4,000 years
ago, breathed and lived, and enjoyed life as the inhabitants of "Siout" do
to-day. I left at 1 p. m. — exchanging salutes with all the boats there.
We arrived at Beni Hasson yesterday morning, and spent our Christmas
in the celebrated grottoes of Beni Hasson — the oldest tombs in Egypt. One
of them was probably built by Shofi, 3,700 years B. 0. The pamtings are,
many of them, still fresh, and as plain as when painted there, more than
4,000 years ago. Just as I was leaving the largest one, I saw the name of
our townsman, Rev. S. D. Phelps, cut in the stone. I remained to cut mine
beneath his, and then left for the boat, two miles distant. In this large
tomb, said by some to have been that of Jacob and Joseph until the Exodus,
are pictured on the walls, wrestlers, women playing at ball, men and women
being bastinadoed, glass blowers, workers in flax, statuaries, &c., &c. The
material history is pictured on the walls. The tombs are of enormous size,
and cut from the live rock.
At 1 p. m. we started for Beniscef. After leaving, we were visited by
passengers (English) from an ascending boat, and were informed that Gen.
Grant had gained a victory over Bragg. I hope it is true. The last I have
heard from America is your letter of October 30th. We arrived at Benisoef
two hours ago, and after walking again through its dirty cheap bazaars, I
was actually glad to return to our boat, and resume our downward trip. We
shall stop two days at the Sakkara and Gizeh Pyramids, and then I shall
have nearly done Egypt— as is said in the Scriptures, I have journeyed
" from Migdol to Byene even unto the borders of Ethiopia." I cannot go to

373 TROWBRIDGE FAMILY.
Peti-a— the Bedouins are fighting there ; and so this year many travelers will
be disappointed. So I must go to Palestine, when I start for that country^
««(.. Jaffa. Before I close this letter I shall have visited the Pyramids, etc.
Sakkara, Dec. 37.— I continue my letter. I have been off all day to the
Sakkara Pyramids. I started early iu the morning on a poor worn-out
donkey, and in two hours I was at these Pyramids. I climbed the large one,
and had a fine view of the Lybian desert, the Nile, Gizeh Pyramids, and
those of Aboozer and Darhoor. The number of Pyramids in this part of
Egypt is about fifty, of which noble old Cheops towers high above all, the
wonder and admiration of the whole world. I ascend him to-morrow. I
next went to the cemetery where the " sacred bulls " were buried. This
cemetery extends for thousands of feet under ground, and in all directions.
In separate chambers are the tombs of the bulls — black granite sarcopha-
guses, 13 feet 5 inches long, 7 feet 6 inches broad, and, with the cover, 11
feet high. I saw twenty-four of these ; others in great numbers remain
covered with stones and sand. I admire these tombs much ; they are among
the wonders of the world — each one as smooth as the smoothest glass. I
next went to a tomb lately found buried in the sand. It is as large as a
large church. I saw immediately upon entertug it, a small liole, and the
thought of making an exploration came upon me, so my dragoman and I
crawled lengthwise through the collected dirt of centuries, and finally found
ourselves in a large chamber of great size. Tlie dragoman had never been
here before, so we advanced cautiously, with lighted candles, until we found
another dark passage like the entrance. We literally wormed ourselves
through this, and by the dim candle light, saw an immense sarcophagus be
fore us of gigantic proportions. I expected that some old priest or king
would blow out our candles and murder us for rudely entering this silent
chamber of death, but as he did not show himself, 1 crawled to the top and
looked through a hole made centuries ago by some destroyer, to obtain the
buried treasures. I saw nothing but the skull, jaw bones and other parts, in
their 4,000 years' old home. The dragoman, with our two canes, managed
to pull the jaw bone to the opening, and I have the tooth of some old Pha
raoh, who may have lived in the time of Joseph or Moses. Perhaps it is the
tooth of Thothinees II., the hard-lwarted one.
We afterwards visited chambers and halls of exquisite beauty in this
tomb. I wish I had space to tell you all ; but mounting my little donkey, I
rode back to our boat, having passed over the site of Ancient Memphis, once
as glorious as Nineveh or Babylon. Nothing but shapeless mounds, and a
colossus of Sesostris, now remain to show where that noble and powerful
city stood, where Joseph lived, and where jVIoses was educated. Thus has
my Sabbath been spent, surrounded by infidels, no church bell to welcome
the Sabbath dawn. I hope I spent it profitably in seeing the fulfilment of
the prophecies against this sinful land. Memphis is mentioned but once in
the Bible, thus : " And Memphis shall bury them." True ! Thousands upon
thousands, in countless myriads, lie at sleep in the neighboring hills, and the
ground for acres is whitened with broken bones and whitened skulls. You
tread them under foot aS you walk along.

TROWBRIDGE FAMILY. 373
Dec. 39. — Just back from "Old Clieops" and his companions. He is a
noble old pyramid. I ascended to the top and carved my name deep in the
rock. His cubical contents is 85,000,000 feet ; height 450 feet. I entered
the dark rooms inside, and saw the best masonry in the world. The sarco
phagus of Cheops is still there. The room is of granite (black) from Syene ;
each block is of enormous size, and you can with difficulty flnd the joints
where tlie blocks come together. I lunched at the entrance, and bought
some " antiques " found in Cheops. I saw the Sphynx, 103 feet around his
head, 142 feet long, hewn from one solid rock. I visited the other pyramids
of less interest. These are nine in number.
When I returned to the boat, I found your letters up to the 34th of Novem
ber. I rejoice at the victories of the army. We return to-morrow to Cairo.
My trip up the Nile has occupied nearly two months. I shall spend a few
days at Cairo, and thence go to Suez, pass the Red Sea where the Israelites
crossed, visit the wells of Moses in the desert ; thence, return to Alexandria,
and take passage for Syria, travel through the Holy Land and Syria, visit
ing Damascus and other places of interest, not forgetting " Tyre and Sidon."
Yours, W  .

Deae Father: Suez, Egypt, January 1, 1864.
I returned to Cairo in safety ; while there I met several Americans, ladies
and gentlemen, preparing to make the trip up the Nile, &c. We made up a
company for a trip to this place.
Yesterday we crossed the Red Sea, to visit Moses' Fountains, in the Arabian
Desert, in Arabia Petrse. I saw the spot where the Israelites crossed four
thousand years ago, a broad valley between the Tall Mountains. Pharaoh,
the Imrd-liearted man, perished here. I fllled a small bottle with water from
the fountain of Moses ;, picked up some beautiful shells, and started for the
village of Suez. It is the most wretched Arab village I have seen. In fact,
there is nothing here but the Hotel, and a few French store-houses for the
Suez Canal Company. A fresh water canal has just been opened between
Alexandria and Suez, by which water is brought from the Nile ; previously
all drinking water was brought from Cairo by Railroad. The Grand Canal
is to be opened, eventually, at this place. I am satisfled that it will be com
pleted, although it is an immense work, and prosecuted at an enormous ex
pense. As the French are building the canal, it will be a stronghold for
them, and on Egypt, eventually, and may endanger the English possessions
in the East Indies.
There is nothing here to interest me, and I return to Cairo to-day. W  .

Dear P  : Alexandria, January 8, 1864.
We spent a few days at Cairo in sight-seeing, and came to this place on the
6th, en route to Palestine. I feel now that we have flnished our Egyptian tour,
and, thoroughly. There is not a Temple that I have not seen-; the Euins of

Nile remains fresh in my imagination, so fareweU forever to Egypt. To-mor.
row we leave this old city for Joppa, where Simon, the Tanner, lived,
I shall remain there but one day, as I can see all places of interest in that
time, and then start for Jerusalem. You cannot have any conception of the
feelings of one visiting this part of the world ; and as our way tends towards
the Holy City, we seem to be living in past ages. W  .

Dear F  : Jerusalem, January 15th, 1864.
I left Alexandria at 8 a. m. on the 10th inst. in the Austrian steamer, and
after a pleasant sail of thirty hours, we dropped anchor in the little harbor
of Joppa " by the sea-side." Our accommodations on board of the steamer
were of the highest order ; better than on either of the English steamers I
have sailed in. We stepped ashore from a little boat, and went to a first-
rate hotel, not far from " Simon, the tanner's " house, where Peter had his
vision. I visited the house twice. I also visited the orange groves, the
largest in the world. Millions and millions of oranges were hanging ripe on
the trees ; it was a beautiful sight for Januai-y. I walked down to the beau
tiful sea-shore, and gathered some shells as a souvenir of the place.
The city is barren of interest, and travelers generally remain there but one
day, and then proceed to Jerusalem. We, therefore, found a good drago
man, and after a long, weary debate, as to price, &c., we engaged him for the
tour through Palestine, and to Tyre and Sidon, and to Beyrout, which will
occupy thirty days.
Our ride from Joppa to Jerusalem was a two day's trip. We crossed the
plain of the Phillistines on swift Syrian horses, and stopped at the Convent
Kawleh through the first night. The second night we slept in the City of
David, on Mount Zion, and close by the " Pool of Hezekiah." Prom my
wmdow I could see Mount Olivet and Mount of Offence, the Church of the
Holy Sepulchre, where they pretend to shew Calvary, the very place of the
Cross, the identical Tomb of the Saviour, the stone of the unction, and other
follies for which there is no foundation. At the Palace of Caiaphas, the rock
is shown where the cock crew when Peter denied his Lord, and the pillar
where Christ was bound, also the little cave where he was imprisoned, into
which I entered. I have been to the Valley of Jehoshophat ; the Pool of
Siloam, washed my hands and face there ; saw the spot where Isaiah was
sawn asunder ; the tombs of David and Samuel, of Zachariah, of St. James
of Absalom, and of Jehoshopha^-the tombs of the Judges, Kings and'
Prophets ; I saw the tower from which King David saw Bethsheba ; the
Fuller's Field, the Field of Blood ; the Valley of Hinnom, where infants were
burned in the arms of the brazen Moloch ; I have seen the Pool of Bethesda,
spoken of in the Testament, and have walked through the delightful little
" Garden of Gethsemane," from which I got some jonquil bulbs, &c., which
I shall send to you from Italy.
I go to-morrow morning to the Mosque of Omar, covering the site of the
Temple of Solomon, built upon the Jebusite threshing floor, and near the
place where Abraham was about to sacrifice to the Lord his son Isaac. All
learned scholars now agree upon the genuineness of this spot.

TROWBRIDGE FAMILY. 375
January 16th. — I have just returned from the above place, and have
been much interested in my visit there. I saw the top of Moriah, where
Abraham prepared his sacrifice. On this rock was afterwards built the
" Holy of Holies," in the Temple of Solomon. Of this beautiful Temple
there remains many broken stones and pillars. In one of the " Temple
vaults " I saw some huge stones of the Ancient Temple, one of which I
measured ; its length is twenty-three feet. I also went to the gate of the
Temple, which was called " Beautiful," where the two disciples healed a
poor lame man. The view from the terraced top of this gate is grand in
deed. You can see Mount Olivet; the Valley of Jehoshophat, with its
countless tombs of the faithful Jews who have come from the corners of
Christendom to be buried near the city of their fathers ; the brook Kidron
winds near by; "HnEogel" is near; then there is the Valley of Hinom
where Moloch was worshipped ; not far off' is the Pool of Siloam, Aceldema,
the lower Pool of Gihon, and the Fuller's Field. I picked a leaf and left
for the hotel. To enter the enclosure of the Mosque of Omar, Christians
must pay ten shillings each, and visit it an early hour of the morning, for
fear of the Mahometans, who worship there at a later hour. I appropriated
a piece of Mount Moriah and value it highly.
Sunday, Jan. 17th. — I left my hotel this morning at ten o'clock and passed
through the Gate of St. Stephen, crossed the Kedron, and ascended to the
top of the Mount of Olives, passing by the little Garden of Gethsemane. On
the top of Olivet is built a Mahometan mineret — to its top I climbed, and
enjoyed a delightful view of Jerusalem and the neighboring hills. I saw
the Jordan and Dead Sea— they looked as if I could leap into them with
ease, so clear is the atmosphere; the mountains of Moab looked broken,
drear and silent, and far to the north ; I saw the virgin snow on the lofty
mountains, shining like a helmet of purest silver. There is a church built
upon th»summit of Olivet, over the spot where tradition asserts Christ to
have ascended after his rising on the third day.
Our trip to Jordan begins to-morrow at eight o'clock a. m. The weather
Is very beautiful, but it Is cold, and the ice forms half an inch in thickness.
Pretty cold for tent life, but we shall enjoy it. W  .

Deae P  : Jerusalem, Jan. 33d, 1864.
I wrote you a few days since from this place, giving my impressions on
my entrance into this Holy Land. I sent the letter via Beyrout ; you will
probably receive this letter first. I returned last night from a five days' ex
cursion to the River Jordan, the Dead Sea, Bethlehem and Hebron. To re
late, we started early last Monday morning for Jericho, and passing Bethany,
behind the Mount of Olives, we proceeded on our way over a rockj* bridle
path, and over the same road which " the certain man who went down to
Jericho and fell among thieves " traveled. Evei-y now and then our Bedouin
guards would run ahead, and peep into every nook and corner of the rocks,
to see if there lurked any Arab cutthroats ready to jump forth and rob, and,
perhaps, murder our little party. I have never seen a road which seemed so
nicely fltted for plunder and murder as this same road. At noon we stopped
to lunch at the ruins of a little " inn by the way-side," which suggested to

376 TROWBRIDGE FAMILY.
US tlie inn to which the good Samaritan took the poor unfortunate which
the Scripture tells us of. Lunch over, we turned our faces again towards
Jericho, and at two o'clock in the afternoon we passed the Valley of Achor,
where Achan was stoned. A short time afterwards we forded the Brook
Cherith, where Elijah was fed by ravens, and at three o'clock, after a short
ride through the delightful plain of the Jordan, we stopped our horses in
front of our tents, the English Jack and American Ensign floating in the
breeze. (We are traveling with a young English friend.) Our tents were
pitched close by the " Fountain of Elisha," a brook where that Prophet
healed when the sons of the prophets were at that place. I ascended a mound
not far from the tents, and let me tell you of the magniflcent scene there
spread out like an extensive panorama. A few hundred feet to the west lay
the ruins of old Jericho, all as silent as death itself, not an inhabitant there.
The lofty walls where Rahab hid tlie spies, is now no more, but the moun
tain where they hid themselves for three days, is still there with its caves
and hiding places. In front of me was Elisha's Fountain ; not far distant
was the Valley of Achor ; the Jordan wound along until it lost itself in the
Dead Sea. Gilgal, where the Israelites crossed and pitched the twelve
stones, where Saul was crowned King of Israel, where Elisha cursed the
pottage, the cure of Naaman, the Syrian, and the punishing of Gehazi took
place, was in sight not far distant. The Dead Sea was ten miles to the south,
beyond which the mountains of Moab loomed up to the view. The Jericho,
where Zaccheus lived and climbed the tree, was close by. This view I took
at sunset, when the rays of the setting sun flashed on the snow-crowned tops
of Moab and lighted up the fertile plain of the Jordan, whose beauty Moses
saw from yonder mountain top, and from which Elijah ascended in a whirl
wind to the blue sky above. I took the same view at moonlight, and the
beauty of the scenery I leave for better pens than mine to describe.
I retired to my narrow bed at seven o'clock p. m. after a hard daj's work,
and fearing a little for the safety of our little company, for before retiring I
saw under the mountains some ominous black tents, an encampment of the
Bedouins — the sons of Ishmael. We rested safely, and at eight o'clock the
next morning started for the Jordan. We rode over the plain with our Be
douin guards, passed the modern Jericho of the New Testament, and saw
where Zaccheus' house stood. We reached the Jordan at ten o'clock a. m. It
had overflown its banks, and run with terrible rapidity. This spot, where
we halted for an hour, was where our Saviour is said to have been baptized.
I picked some leaves and pushed on for the Dead Sea. We passed along
the great plain for two hours, following some tracks of Bedouin horsemen,
whose long spears I thought we might feel before reaching the sea. We,
however, reached that remarkable sheet of water; which done, I leaped
from my saddle, and in flve minutes was rolling like a log in the water. I
could not sink; I folded my arms and sat in the water with perfect ease. Its
saltness is ten thousand times that of the ocean ; it is worse than alum.
When I came out I could not get the water off my body ; it was like oil.
Our faces were white, like leprosy, from the salt. We were indeed a sorry
set when we again mounted our horses. We felt not only Shakespeare's
" itching palm," but we itched all over for two or three days, and even now
my hair is filled with salt.

TROWBRIDGE FAMILY. 377

This sea is 1300 feet below the level of the ocean, and is shut in ou two
sides by tall fine mountains. Although many writers represent it as the
image of death, I confess that I liked the place much. The water had
ripples on its surface, but they came slowly and sluggishly to the shore.
We were on robbers' ground, and hastened to the mountains of Judea to
lunch. We then rode through the terrible wilderness of Judea for six
hours, until we reached the delightful little convent of St. Saba. Our ride
to Ma/r Saba was from 13 to 5 p. m. The road was now on a lofty mountain
top, and now upon the brink of a precipice, and again in the bed of some
mountain torrent. After having gone a few miles, something moved on the
hill-side opposite, and a Bedouin, dressed in all sorts of colors, with gun on
his back, and with steps, each one a yard long, came forth, and hastened to
join us. He was a savage looking fellow, and, although we were seven,
with our guides, I confess I felt uneasy until he left us, which he did in a
couple of hours.
When we arrived at the convent, we learned that our baggage train had
been attacked by four flerce Bedouins, who tried to murder the guard, who
fled " in terrorem" to a place of safety. However, the Bedouins were driven
off, and the train arrived in safety. The train consists of two mules, two
donkeys and two horses. On the following morning we were in the saddle,
and riding over a pleasant road, and passing three or four Bedouin encamp
ments, we reached the little "Betliieliem of Judea," and stopped at the
Church of the Nativity until the next morning. We went to the well, for
whose water David thirsted, and to which his might}-" men came when they
had broken through the hosts of the Philistines.
Bethlehem is a beautiful spot, on a gently sloping hillside, whose terraces
are covered with olive trees innumerable. The inhabitants are all Clvristians,
which means that they are about the same as common sinners in a civilized
land. The Church of the Nativity is a spendid building, in the shape of a
cross, and having in the interior forty-four red marble columns, which were
formerly a part of Solomon's Temple. In this chm-ch they showed me the
manger where our Sa-vior was born, and the altar of the Innocents, where
30,000 children were buried when Herod had murdered the children of
Judea. Poor monks ! They showed me a number of holy places below the
church, where certain saints were either born or murdered, etc. It matters
not to enumerate them. Our blessed Savior was truly born in this village,
but the 'precise spot, who can tell ? It is a singular fact that you ride in. one
and a half hours from the village of Christ's birth to Calvai-y, where he was
crucified. Ruth once gleaned in the fields over which I rode ; and David,
when a shepherd boy, used to roam over these same hills and valleys, just as
that shepherd boy yesterday. Little did he think that he was to be King of
Israel. On the next day, in the morning, we went to Hebron, by the way of Solo
mon's Pools. These are three in number, about two hundred and fifty feet
broad, two hundred and flfty feet long, and fifty feet deep. We arrived at
Hebron (perhaps the oldest city in the world,) at five o'clock p. m. We en
camped on a hillside, a little to the west of the city, and in view of the pool
where David hung the murderers of Ishbosheth. We were veiy, very cold
that night. We were 3,800 feet above the sea, and the hills were covered

378 TROWBRIDGE FAMILY.
with ice and snow. The people at Hebron are fanatics, and think that they
can be saved eternally by killing and robbing Christians. We were on the
watch through the night, with a couple of loaded revolvers, a Damascus
sword, and a dagger. We were not molested.
I visited here the Cave of Machpelah, where lies the dust of Abraham,
Isaac, Jacob, Sarah, Rebekah and Leah. The Cave is covered by a Mahome-
daii mosque, and we were not allowed to enter, for we were Christians. The
next monung, at eight o'clock, we visited the oak where Abraham's tent
was pitched when the angels visited him, and he went with them towards
Sodom. I enclose a leaf from this tree. We rode through the valley of
Eschol, noted for grapes. It is literally filled with grape vines, and is a
beautiful spot. We rode to Jerusalem, via Rachel's tomb and Bethlehem ;
lunched at Solomon's Pools, and arrived at Jerusalem six hours after we left
Hebron. It would occupy hours in relating all the incidents of the way.
On Monday we start for Shechem, and the Lake of Tiberius. Life in the
Holy Land, at this season, is pleasant, but dreadfully cold, — something like
encamping on the top of West Rock in November.
Yours, W  .

Deae F  : Nabltts (Shechem), Palestine, Jan., 1864.
You will be surprised to hear from me at this place ; but as one of the
horses is lame, we are obliged to remain here a day, until we can procure
another in his stead.
We left Jerusalem on Monday at 10 a. m., and in one hour we were on the
summit of Scopus, where Titus encamped with the Roman legions when he
destroyed Jerusalem. We continued our journey, and a little past noon en
tered the delightful territory of Ephraim. Our road lay through deep val
leys, filled with extensive olive and fig orchards, and over the summits of
lofty mountains, from which we could see the fatness of the land. We
passed Gibeon ; Rama, where Samuel was born ; Gibeah, of Saul ; Nob,
where Doeg, the Edomite, slew the priests ; and flnally. Bethel, where Jacob
had his remarkable vision. It is now a poor, miserable, broken down Arab
village, with nothing to interest the traveler, except that it shows the site of
the old Bethel of the Scriptures. Surely this land of Ephraim Is the best in
the country. Jacob, when he was dying, said, "With thee shall Israel
bless,'' saying, " God make thee as Ephraim."
We pitched our tent on Monday night in a small town called Sinjel, noted
for robbers. A traveler was killed there last year. We were not molested.
In the morning of yesterday we packed up tents and started for Nablus,
where we arrived last evening, just before sunset. One hour after starting
we came to Shiloh, where Eli fell dead, and where the Ark of God rested
for many centuries. It is now a heap of ruins. The prophecy against it is
truly fulflUed, and that to the letter.
At 4 p. m. we were sitting by Jacob's Well. We read the chapter in John
about the conversation held there by Christ and the woman of Samaria.
Gerizim was on our right hand, Ebal on our left, and a rich and fertile plain

TROWBRIDGE FAMILY. 379
Stretched far away to Sychar, Salem and Enon, where John baptized on ac
count of the much water there. How true ; a beautiful stream runs by the
town. The well is surrounded by granite columns in fragments ; the sides
are partly broken in, and the interior of the well is nearly fllled with broken
stones. The water is in no great quantity. Near by is the tomb of Joseph.
I ascended Gerizim this morning, and had a grand survey of the country
round about. They pretend to show the twelve stones of Gilgal, also the
ruins of the old temple.
The Samaritans are still here. I went to-day to the house of the Samari
tan High Priest. He has been to England, and is very intelligent. He
showed me an old manuscript, written by Adam's grandson, 3,400 years old.
I amused him very much by examining his little boy's head, as well as his
own. He believed me in all that I told him about the future character of
his boy, from the fact that I guessed right about the bump of destruction !
His son is only six years old, and engaged to be manied. He also has a
daughter one and a half years old, and her hand has already been asked in
marriage. So much for the little town of Sichem and its people.
It was from Mounts Ebal and Gerizim that the blessiags and curses were
read by Joshua. Here the land was divided among the Israelites by tribe.
Here Jotham uttered his singular fable against Abimelech.
To-morrow w.e start for Nazareth, where we arrive in two days.

TiBBEiAS, (Lake op Galilee.)
Last Thursday, we left Shechem at 7 a. m., rode through the beautiful
vale of Nablus, reached Samaria at noon, and stopped awhile to view the
magnificent plains surrounding it, as well as the site of the old city where
the cruel and sinful Ahab ruled and died. The columns of his palace still
stand on the brow of the hill.
We left Samaria, and in the afternoon passed along the plains of Dothan,
where Joseph was seized and sold by his brethren. At 7 o'clock we
encamped at Jenin, on the plain of Esdraelon. Jenin is the " Su-gamin" of
Joshua. The next day, at 8 a. m., we started for Nazareth, crossing the
extensive plain of Esdraelon. We came to Jezereel, where Jezebel was eaten
by dogs. Jezereel is near the mountains of Gilboa, and its situation is very
fine. It is now nothing but a collection of small mud hovels and barkmg
dogs. From Jezereel we went to the fountain where Gideon, with his little band
of three hundred, vanquished the hosts of the Midianites. I lapped water,
dog-like, as that famous band of three hundred did centuries ago. Next we
crossed the battle fleld of Saul and the Philistines, and came to Shunem,
where the Shunamite entertained Elisha. Passing the hill Moreh, we
lunched at Nain, where Christ revived the poor widow's son. Nain is now
a poor, wretdied mud village. One hour from Nain we were at Endor,
where the famous witch lived who was consulted by Saul before the battle.
We crossed the high mountain behind Endor, and at 4 p. m. arrived at
Nazareth. It is a Christian village, nestled in the beautiful vale of Naza
reth, the home of our Savior, who for twenty-eight years was a carpenter in

380 TROWBRIDGE FAMILY.
this little village. We were shown the workshop of Christ, his house, and
his table, where he sat at meat with his father, mother, brothers and sisters.
Of course I do not think that these are genuine. I walked upon the hill
near Nazareth, and doubtless passed the " brow " where his towns people
tried to throw him headlong to the ground beneath. I could with difficulty
realize the fact that the Savior of mankind lived for more than one-fourth
of a century as a mechanic in this same Nazareth.
We left Nazareth yesterday and came to Tiberias, where we anived at
nightfall. On our way to this place we passed through " Cana of Galilee,"
where Jesus performed the first miracle of his ministry, We are encamped
on a hill, close to the Lake of Tiberias, where the greater part of Christ's
miracles were performed — where he delivered his " Sermon on the Mount "
— ^where he fed the 5,000 — where he stilled the waves — and where he saved
Peter from sinking. Capernaum, Chorazin and Bethsaida are in sight, but
so sadly in ruins that their site is disputed by many.
To-morrow we start for Acre, Tyre and Sidon.
This Palestine tour is a grand one. I have visited every place of interest
in the whole land.
You will next hear of me from Tyre. Yours, W.

Dear F  : Tyeb, February 6, 1864.
My last was from the Sea of Galilee. We left that place last Monday at
8 a. m., and arrived at Shef Armar at nightfall. Our journey on that day
was very pleasant, but not of any particular Scriptural interest. The little
village of Shef Armar is on the mountain above the plain of Acre, and
commands a magnificent view of the Mediterranean, Mount Carmel and the
rich plain of Esdraelon.
On Tuesday, in the morning, we started for Caipha, at the base of Mt.
Carmel. Our road was a very fine one, and we arrived at Caipha at noon.
In the afternoon we ascended. Mt. Carmel and visited the Convent, the best
one in the whole land. Carmel is very interesting as being the place where
"Elijah slew the prophets of Baal," and where Elisha lived. The Convent
is built over the cave where Elijah hid himself from the anger of Jezebel.
On Wednesday we went to Acre by the road over the beach. Our horses
were very fleet, and we arrived at St. Frau D'Acre at 11 a. m. We remained
twenty-four hours at Acre, visited the fortifications, the bazaar, and finally
the Pasha himself, who received us cordially. We also went to some
gardens belonging to a fellow passenger with whom I came from England
in the steamer. There are in the gardens 20,000 fruit trees of every
description. Some of the orange trees had each as many as a thousand
oranges on their branches.
Acre is one of the most interesting places on the coast. It was the
stronghold of the old Crusaders, and was twice besieged in modern times—
once by Napoleon, in 1799, and in 1840 by the English and French.
We went to Brusa, four hours to the north, and remained there Thursday
night.

TROWBRIDGE FAMILY. 381
Yesterday we crossed the " Ladder of Tyre," a terrible mountain pass.
Having crossed this, we were fairly out of the Holy Land, and in Syria.
We rode along the seaside, and at 3 p. m., pitched our tent inside the walls
of Tyre, " the mistress of the seas," " whose merchants were the honorable
of the earth." It is now a terrible example of a fulfilled prophecy. It is
indeed "a place for spreading nets." Hundreds of granite columns are
thrown about the ruins and submerged in the sea; and where, in the
prophetic time, "palaces and pleasant houses" once stood, now nothing can
be seen but poor wretched hovels. The harbor, where formerly the mer
chant princes loaded their ships, has now but a half dozen crazy boats, as if
in derision of the ships of olden time. The 27th chapter of Ezekiel gives a
fine description of Tyrus.
This moi-nmg I walked into the country to the " Tomb of Hiram," a poor
representation of which you will find in Thompson's " Land and the Book."
There are five immense stones ; the center one is 13i feet in length, 8 feet
broad, and 6 feet thick ; the whole height is 31 feet. I climbed to this large
stone, and in one corner I found a hole, through which I wormed myself,
and then I lay on my back just as Hiram did, and in the exact spot, in the
very sarcophagus itself. I found it extremely difficult to get out of this
narrow cell, for I went in head foremost, and turned myself around while
inside with difficulty, so that when I emerged from the awful place, my
feet came out first, and as I could not see where to cling with my feet, I
was well nigh precipitated to the ground, where is a very deep well of
water. I found it impossible and quite dangerous to ascend to the highest
stone ; I endeavored two or three times, but in vain.
I have now seen all the country thoroughly as far as to Tyre. Sidon,
Beirout and Damascus yet remain.
We have had delightful weather since we left Jerusalem.
To-morrow we leave for Sidon.

At the Rivee Damub, February 8.
We sailed around ancient Tyre yesterday morning, eariy, and saw the
immense stone in the old wall. This stone is about 17 feet long, and nearly
7 feet thick. It was placed there thousands of years ago in the sea wall.
We saw countless numbers of granite and marble columns of gigantic pro
portions tossed into the sea and broken on the shore. At ten a. m., we
mounted our horses and rode along the beach to Sarepta, (1 Kings, 17:9,)
where we lunched. We arrived at Sidon, the " mother of Tyre," at 5 p. m.
Sidon is the most beautiful city in Syria ; it is Oriental, yet the houses are
neat, and its gardens are unrivalled for their fruits. I saw to-day banana
trees 30 feet high. The city is on a head land, and behind are the snowy
peaks of Lebanon.
Leaving Sidon at lOi a. m. to-day, we lunched at Jonah's tomb.
We have just pitched our tents on the banks of the river Damur, only
four hours' travel from Beirout, m Thompson's "Land and the Book."
You will see the exact spot where we are encamped. We shall reach
Beu-out to-morrow, and after a few days shall go to Damascus and Balbec,
thence return to Beirout and proceed to Smyrna, en route to Constantmople.
Yours, W.

382 TROWBBIDGE FAMILY.
Dear Father : Damascus, Februai-y 15, 1864.
My last to you was from the River Damur. We arrived at " Beirout " on
Tuesday; it is the most active as well as the prettiest city in the whole of
Syria. This superiority has been been given to it through European influ
ence ; its antiquities, however, are of small importance, and do not require
mention, a few broken columns of granite, and an old harbor in ruins. On
Saturday I went in a small boat across the bay to " Dog River,'' and inves
tigated the sculptures, cut there ages ago by the Egyptians and Assyrians,
when their armies crossed the narrow road on the brow of the cliffs upon
which these carvings are, three in number, and are thirty-one centuries old !
Those of the Assyrians are six in number, and their age is twenty-five cen
turies ! These sculptures are among the most remarkable antiquities I have
ever beheld. I presume you have heard Rev. Dr. Bacon describe them as
he saw them when he made his Eastern tour.
I arrived here by " Dilligens " last night at nine o'clock, having traveled
since three a. m. The road is the only one in this country, and is as flne as
the French could make it. We crossed Lebanon, and Anti-Lebanon ; the
summits of these mountains are covered with snow; our road lay through
snow drifts of eight feet in depth, the wind was terribly cold, and so very
strong that Mr. B  was nearly blown over a precipice by its tremendous
force ; the Dilligens was fast in the snow on the mountain, and we were
obliged to get out to lighten it, at which time the wind caught Mr. B  ,
and can-ied him down hill. We were chilled severely. The height of
Lebanon is 10,000 feet. " Damascus, the Queen of the East," is beautiful
beyond description, in a rich plain, watered by the " Abana and Pharphar,"
better by far than the muddy Jordan, surrounded on every side by gardens,
whose reputation for beauty has rivalled those of all others in the known
world, and rightly deserves the appellation of " Queen ; " her walls are the
same now as they were long ages ago ; they have never been demolished by
any conqueror. She is mentioned in the beginning of Genesis, and is, per
haps, the oldest dty in the world. She is is Oriental in the extreme, more so
than Cairo or Constantinople. The most wonderful objects to be seen in the
Bazaars, is an European, with an European hat upon his head.
The bazaars are extensive, more so than those in Cairo. I have to-day
visited the '.' street called Straight" the gate where St. Paul was " let dowii in
a basket," and have seen the Lions of the City. The Boys and Women of
Damascus are extremely beautiful; they are watched and veiled (I mean the
women) by the old Turk, who is very jealous. Mahomet refused to come to
Damascus, for he said he feared that the beauty of the city, and of the
women, would make him unwilling to sigh for the heavenly " Houris " and
Paradise. I noticed in the bazaars beautiful silk, and so cheap, that I was
almost tempted to go into speculations in them. I am going to " Baalbeck"
in a day or two ; the road is said to be clear of snow, and passage is prac
ticable. I have had a splendid visit to this city. Beautiful Damascus, when
shall I see you again ? W  .

Dear Father : Damascus, February 17, 1864
You will be surprised to flnd that I am still in this city. I was up this
morning at half-past three o'clock, ready to start for Baalbeck. After breakfast,

TROWBRIDGE FAMILY. 383
at four o'clock, we discovered that on account of the immense quantities of
rain that has been falling for three days, that the " Abana '' had not only
ovei-flowed its banks, but, in consequence, this morning the whole city is
almost under water ; but we determined to make an effort to get to the start
ing place of the "Dilligens," a mile distant. We could obtain neither
horse nor donkey, wheel-barrow, or any description of vehicle ; it was dark
as " Erebus ; " the rain was falling in torrents ; the hungi-y crowd of dogs
made the scene like " Tartarus," — this was the scene that opened upon us
when we went to the hotel door, — the Dilligens was to start at this time,
and if we were to go to Baalbeck at all, we must start in the quickest time
possible. The only way that seemed practicable was to strip to our waist,
and walk through the water and mud to the station. As we were in the act
of stripping, the landlord told us to dress again, and that a servant should
carry us " puss back " to a spot, from which, by a circuitous path, we could
find the Dilligens. We were four in number, and thus we were backed over
by an Arab. One servant went before with a lantern, another behind ; we
passed through narrow lanes, contending with savage dogs, that grow fat
as scavengers without the city. The Mahometan Muzzein shouted to prayers,
as we threaded the lanes and streets, " Come to prayer ; prayer is better than
sleep." We crossed the swollen Abana, and after all our fatigue and trouble,
found that the Dilligens that ought to have arrived from Beirout last evening,
had not made its appearance, accordingly we were obliged to return to the hotel
by the same route by which we had come. To get now to Baalbeck is out of
the question. We are in mid-winter, and reluctantly, I assure you, we must
give up the trip, and return to Beirout. I have visited the many objects of in
terest here. Many of the houses are really palaces ; the mosques are beautiful ;
everything here is beautiful. Damascus is well called " Pearl of the East ; "
but to attempt a description would be only a repetition of what you can read
in the history of this city, so I will only refer you to them. W  .

Deae F  : Bbirout, February 31, 1864.
We returned here after a fatiguing ride of eighteen hours. The hea-yy
rains have made the streams of Lebanon swell so that they have cut and
washed the road so badly, that we were in danger of being thro-wn down
into deep valleys, and over precipices, but we came safely. I have visited
the Missions here. I saw Mr. Van Dyke, the Arabic scholar, and our very
successful missionary ; he was glad to welcome me, and explained the mis
sionary work with great zeal. He has almost finished the translation of the
Bible into Arabic ; it has been his life work, and a noble one too. Dr.
Thompson is in Egypt. Mr. Jessup, from the United States, is located here.
These missionaries are doing a great work, and most successful. I am now
waiting the arrival of the steamer, to embark in her for Constantinople,
stopping, however, at Smyrna on our route to that city. W  .

DeaeP  : Smyrna, Februai-y 37, 1864
My last to you was from Beirout. We left that place in the Austrian
steamer " Africa," for Constantinople. The moon was shining do-wn brightly
on the snowy heights of Lebanon, when we steamed away for Cyprus, and
bade farewell to Syria forever, the next morning. We dropped anchor in
the bay of Lamaca, the ancient CiUum, on the western side of Cyprus. It
was in this little city that Zeno the Stoic was boi-n, where Cimon of Athens
was an exile, and where St. Paul smote Elymas with blindness. In the
bright blue sea near by, the beautiful goddess, Venus, was said to have come
forth, and was called Aphrodite, from the white sea foam. Never did I ex
pect to visit this scene of my college studies.
We left Cyprus at 4 a. m. on Tuesday, and at 3 a. m. on Thursday, we
anchored at Rhodes. I went ashore for an hour, and visited the street where
the Knights of St. John formerly lived, the old church now in ruins, and
examined the spot where it is said that the Colossus once stood. This was
all that was worth seeing in Rhodes.
This island has been inhabited and cultivated from remotest antiquity, and
it was here that the grand old chevaliers of St. John developed themselves
as an order, and from here they were expatriated by the Turks, in 1522. I
was much interested in the place, as I had previously visited Malta, where
the knights took up their abode after leaving Rhodes. We left Rhodes in
the morning, and arrived at Smyrna, the next day. We sailed along the
coasts of Caria, where the famous Chimera of Mythologic times was chained.
We passed countless islands, among which were Cos, where was the foun
tain of Hippocrates ; Samos, noted for her nine poets, historians, and sculp
tors ; Patmos, where John had his revelation ; and ChloS, often mentioned
by Horace, in his odes. We also passed Halicarnassus, where Artemesia
made the celebrated mausoleum for her husband, Mausoleus. The river
Mseander, Ephesus and Miletus, we passed to the right. These places are
all familiar, from my translating of Herodotus when studying.
Yesterday I succeeded in finding a Dragoman, an old Jew, who spoke
about a dozen languages, to show us the sights in Smyrna. We went flrst to
the bridge of the Caravans, a poor affair, spanning a little river or brook, on
whose banks the immortal Homer was born, according to the accounts of the
ancient Smyrniotes. Five other cities also claim his birth place. We saw
hundreds of camels coming and going to Aleppo, Damascus, and Constanti
nople. Near by is a Turkish cemetery, the flnest I have seen in the whole
East. The Cyprus trees are the best I have seen. Near the bridge the path
leads up Mount Pagus to an old castle on the summit, built by the Genoese.
It is sadly ruined, but from one of its old towers I had a magnificent view
of Smyrna, its many minarets glittering in the sunlight, the bay with its
steamers and ships floating on its surface, like swans upon the smooth bosom
of a lake, the grand towering mountains behind the city, and the rich culti
vated plain beneath. I descended again to the city and visited the bazaars.
They will do for European shops, but as Oriental bazaars they are not de
serving the name. I have not seen one spark of Oriental life or character
in Smyrna ; it is almost entirely European from its trade.
Our missionary, Mr. Van Lennep, has just returned from America. And
here I would just say, that our noble American missionaries, independent of

TROWBRIDGE FAMILY. 385
the pleasure and proflt obtained in visiting them, can give better information
to the traveler respecting the history of the countries, and other interesting-
information, than can be otherwise obtained.
We start this evening for Constantinople, from which place you will next
hear from me. W  .

Dear Father : Constantinople, March 2, 1864.
We left Smyrna on Saturday. We steamed down the bay, enjoying a
magniflcent view, the tall mountains in the back-ground, with the city be
neath, growing fainter and fainter as we receded, the ships diminishing
gradually from our view, until completely lost sight of, at eleven. We
stopped for an hour in the bay of Mityline, on the eastei-n end of the cele
brated island of Lesbos ; here it was, if I recollect aright, that the fair Sapplio
lived and sung, and flnally, unable to transport a certain youth with fervent
love for her, and seeing him reject her flame, threw herself headlong into
the sea. Uncle Henry has a flne painting of Sappho in the act of leaping
from the rock. Theophrastus, the philosopher, was born here about 300
years B. C. The Latin poet, Horace, frequently mentions the delight pro
duced by the " Lesbian Wine.'' We left Mityline, and at seven o'clock this
morning stopped for an hour at the little island of Tenedos, mentioned by
Virgil as being directly opposite the renowned City of Troy. We passed
Troy, (very near it), where Agamemnon, Menelaus, Ulysses and Achilles
stood arrayed against the Trojans, with the flower of the Grecian army.
Here Priam, the venerable Trojan King, was cast, as Virgil tells us, " a head
less trunk" onthe sea-shore. Hector, the brave defender of the Trojans,
was killed here, and dragged at the chariot wheels of the valiant Achilles,
who, in turn, was wounded by an arrow from the bow of Paris, who had
brought on the war by stealing Helen from Greece. Achilles died of the
wound, for so the gods decreed it, that he should meet his fate before the
walls of Troy by the hands of Paris, Priam's son. It was here that ^neas
carried off his aged parent on his back, and sailed far away to Italy. Ulysses
also was twenty years in his journey to Ithaca, the same journey can now
be made in about three days by steamer. By visiting and seeing these places
my college lessons are as well kno-wn to me now, as the Westminster Cate
chism is to you.
On our right we passed what the credulous call the tombs of Achilles,
Petroelus, and others of the Grecian heroes who were slain in the siege of
Troy. Passing these, it was not long before we entered the Hellespontus of
mythologic times, mm the Dardanelles. Alexander crossed here on a bridge
of boats, when he went to subdue the Persian Empire, which he did with
no great difficulty, as far as to the river Indus, where Phocus repulsed him,
and where he lost his favorite horse " Bucephalus." Leander was accus
tomed to swim across the Hellespontus, every time the sun went down, to
meet his mistress. Hero, who, when Leander had been drowned in the sea,
to show her strong attachment for her lover, plunged into the waves, and
met a similar fate to that of Leander. The " Argonautic Expedition," when
it sailed from Argos, in Greece, to Colchis, to procure the Golden Fleece,
passed through these same waters. Another interesting event occurred here.

386 TROWBBIDGE FAMILY.
that of the celebrated and decisive battle of Argos Potamus, which was
fought here on the Thracian side of the Hellespontus. In this battle the
powerful arm and influence of the Athenians were forever broken ; it was
one of the flfteen decisive battles since history had its beginning. The Hel
lespontus is now called the Dardanelles, perhaps from Dardanus, the city
where Priam was born. We stopped a little while at the little town of
Dardanelles, and then steamed up the Straits at a rapid rate, passing fleets
of ships wind bound. The Straits are, perhaps, three-fourths of a mile in
breadth ; the hills on either side being tall, and some of them as precipitous
as if cut by a knife, while others are rounded and twisted into almost every
shape. Numerous forts command every approach, and the whole is nothing
but one extensive fortress, from Dardanelles to Gallipolis, the entrance into
the sea of Marmora, " the Propontes " of ancient times. I do not wonder
that Europe is jealous, and desires this Turkish empire to be divided up for
themselves, for it is a magniflcent possession, and great will be that nation
which takes it from the Turks. Russia, England and France would each
desire it, but they cannot settle it between them which shall have Constanti
nople, so the Turk holds on for the present.
We arrived at Gallipolis at one p. m., and remained until four p. m. It is
a small town of no great importance, and devoid of interest. We sailed
along the Sea of Marmora all night, and at seven a. m. sailed into the
" Golden Horn,'' opposite Stamboul, and dropped anchor — our voyage was
finished. About Constantinople, I do not know what to say, or where to
commence, there is so much to be said, it would take me too long to attempt
it, so I will only give my own impressions, and tell you what I have myself
seen. To begin, I went on Monday, at nine a. m., over to Stamboul, saw the
bazaars, the mosques of Sultan Mahomet, Sultan Achmet and the famous
Agia Sofia, and saw all the interesting points in Stamboul. I then went over
to Scutari in a "Caique," a small canoe-shaped boat peculiar to Constantino
ple, and visited the English cemetei-y, where the fallen brave of the Crimean
War were buried. I then went to the Turkish cemetery, nearly filled with
countless Turks, whose souls rest in Paradise, in the arms of " Houries," I
saw Scutari and all that was there of interest. I returned to Pera ; there I
ascended an high tower, and had a magnificent view ; Stamboul, with the
Golden Horn, lay before me on one side, with its countless tall tapering
minarets, behind me was Scutari, and around lay the tiled roofs of Pera.
The beauty of this view can hardly be imagined — the city is magnificent and
grand, — but, to my disappointment, not at all Oriental, it is more of an Euro
pean city ; most of the men are dressed in European costume. The women
are not half so closely veiled as those of Syria and Egypt ; the houses and
bazaars are not Oriental; you do not see the turbaned multitudes as in
Cairo, Jerusalem and Damascus; the streets are wide in comparison to
Egypt and Palestine— the type of life here is European. The mosque of
Sofia is fine, and is visited by all that come here ; it is not so beautiful, ex
ternally, as some others. I have not time to speak of it particularly, nor of
the others in the city. I saw the two long bridges that connect Pera and
Stamboul opened yesterday, and the Sultan of Turkey swept through m a
beautiful barge ; he looks well, and as if he had the good things of this life
to his heart's content.

TROWBRIDGE FAMILY. 387
You see I am writing a Journal, I have been up the Bosphorus ; it was a
glorious sail. We left the Seraglio on our left, and passing the Turkish
frigates in the offing, we steamed away to the Black Sea. We wound
around the headlands fringed with beautiful trees and shrubs, and their
surface dotted with flne and unique residences of Turks and Europeans.
The European side I thought more beautiful than the Asiatic. Fleets of
tall masted ships passed through to and from the Black Sea. I cannot
find words adequate to express the grandeur, loveliness and uniqueness of
the sail on the Bosphorus. It was on the Asiatic side of the Bosphorus that
Jupiter assimilated himself to a white bull, and with the fair maiden,
Bwropa, upon his back, swam across to Thrace, and hence the name of
Europe was given to the western side. I should like to tell you all that I
have seen, from day to day, during my stay in this city, but time will not
permit. I must ref er you, hereafter, to my journal; it has been one con
tinual scene of enjoyment during my whole stay in the city, and I shall
leave it with regret, never expecting again to behold it.
We have seen everything of interest in this city, and are ready to depart,
with a knowledge of this great metropolis of the Eastern world. In some
respects it is a repetition of the same scenes I beheld in Egypt and Syria.
It seems, however, as if I had lived in another world and pre-existed, for it
is so recently that I left home, that everything there seems fresh in remem
brance, and these new scenes also so vivid, that everything is strange. In a
few days we shall be in Greece. I ought, however, just say that the appear
ance of this city, and surrounding scenery, are fully equal to what they are
represented to be ; at a distance it looks so like the scenery of New York city
and harbor and the Hudson River for twenty miles, that they appeared like old
familiar scenes. The Sea of Marmora is very much like the harbor of New
York; and with a neck of land, it looks like Staten Island. Scutari, on the
Asiatic side, at a distance, is Brooklyn in its appearance. The scenery of
the Bosphorus is so much like that of the Hudson, that an American, when
viewing it, feels as if he was on the shores of our noble river at home. All
the Americans that I have spoken to of it recognise the resemblance that I
have mentioned. W •

Dear Father : Athens, Greece, March 11, 1864.
We arrived here, from Constantinople, on Saturday, at sun-rise. We had
a delightful passage ; fine weather, as pleasant as at New Haven in June.
Since we have been here, we have seen everything worthy of note. I will
mention a few of the sights. First, we visited, of course, the ruined temples
and Acropolis; the first one that we saw was that of Olympian Jupiter; fif
teen columns only remain of the one hundred and twenty-four forming the
peristyle ; they are Corinthian, and of white marble. Close by is the Arch of
Hadrian; it is very beautiful, although not made in the days of the prime of
Athenian art. The column of Lysikrotes is not far distant. Beneath the
Acropolis there has lately been excavated an ancient theater, which is of
great interest to all travelers, for it is where the plays bf Sophocles, Euri
pides and ^schylus used to be acted centuries ago ; the stage is still there.

388 TROWBBIDGE FAMILY'.
and the seats for the Priests, with their names cut beneath. Fifteen .thous
and people could be seated on the benches. From the theater a path winds
up to the gate of the Acropolis ; upon entering which I felt awed at the
-ruins of beautiful statues and friezes, which, together with the ruined Propy-
laca and Parthenon, made the whole place one of intense interest. Athens'
greatest men, her poets, her historians, her orators, and her philosophers
have trod these same marble steps leading up to the lofty temples. There
is one little temple near the Propylaca dedicated to Victory ; she is repre
sented in the act of stripping off her sandals, thus indicating that victory is
to abide forever with the Athenians — a beautiful idea. On the summit of
the Acropolis is the Ereethenia, a temple built in honor of Erectheus, an old
hero of Athens. It is this temple that has the Caryatides, or columns, in the
form of women, captured from Caryae, a Grecian city which declared for the
Persian invaders of Greece.
Descending from the Acropolis, through the southern gate, and crossing
a valley, we came to the prison of Socrates — the " prison " cannot be 'proved
to be genuine. Near by is the place where justice was meted out centuries
ago ; it is the Pnyx, and sufficiently large to contain the whole of the citizens
of Athens. The assembled citizens usually met at daybreak, as there was no
protection from the sun.
Opposite is the " Hill of Mars," where St. Paul preached to the " Men of
Athens ;" below is the Temple of Theseus, it is simple and plain, yet one of
-the most beautiful buildings ever erected. Inside of this temple is a collection
of statues and friezes found in the ground, many of them are mutilated. In the
city is the ruined gate of the " Agora," and a colonade of the Emperor Had
rian, these form, I think, the most interesting part of the ruins ; but to
attempt to describe all would be futile. We made an excursion to the " Pen-
telicus," from which the Parthenon and all the Grecian temples were hewn
out ; this mountain contains immense quarries of beautiful marble. Yester
day I went there, and climbed to the summit, and had a magniflcent view
of Attica and her hills, and of the plains of Marathon, where the battle took
place between the Persians and Greeks ; it is one of the most historic places
in the world. I regret that I cannot go to Marathon ; it takes a long tune,
and I am well satisfled that I liave seen it. I have been to Eleusis, a small
and very ancient city near Athens ; it was there that the celebrated Eleusin-
ian Mysteries took place. It is not known what these mysteries were, but it
is thought that they were of a revolting and disgraceful nature ; the ruins of
the Temple of Ceres are there; the temple was larger than the "Parthe-
.non." The Bay of Eleusis is one of the flnest in the world ; it was near
here that the Persians were defeated in the great naval battle of Salamis.
We returned to Athens by the pass of "Daphne." Athens, at present, is
-said to contain a population of 50,000. The houses are vei-y flne, and its
historical character one that every city in the world might envy in vain ; the
streets are the best I ever saw. The Parthenon is the most beautiful temple
which the world has ever seen. When I was in the Parthenon I was among
the most beautiful of ruins. I was where Demosthenese, ^schines, Peri
cles, Socrates, and hosts of historians, poets and orators stood ages ago.
From my seat I could see the ruins of the grand temple of Jupiter Olympus
In the plain below, the theaters of Bacchus and Herodes Atticus, etc., etc.

TROWBRIDGE FAMILY. 389
Wliere can the flnger of man point to a more beautiful historical or im
posing spot than this same ruined Parthenon. I have threaded the mazes and
labyrinthic winding of the temples of the Ancient Egyptians, at Edfou, Thebes
and Dendera, but nowhere did I behold such light, and delicacy and grace
as sunounded me on every side, as at the Parthenon. It really seemed as
if the gods themselves thronged from the Elisian fields to build these white
marble temples of Athens. How often have I, when a school-boy, a novice
in Latin and Greek, wondered how the Grecian temples looked, and especi
ally the Parthenon. How often, when at College, a student, translating
from the Greek, the orations of Demosthenes, the histoi-y of Herodltus, the
tragedies of Euripides, .^Ischyljs and Sophocles, and reading the history of
the Athenians, their rise, power and downfall, did I wish that I could see that
" Eye of Greece," where these great men lived, and where the fine arts were
so successfully prosecuted; yet my wish has proved true. I am in. the city
of Themistocles, Aristides, Alciblades and Pericles, Miltiades, Cimon and
Seneca, where Marathon, Platea, Mantinea, Cheronea and Thermopylse,
were as familiar words to the Athenians as Lexington, Concord, Bunker
Hill and Yorkto-wn are to us at home ; or as Gettysburg, Antietam, or Fair-
oaks, will be to our descendants, if we succeed ia crushing the most wicked
rebellion that the world ever saw.
It was at " Mars Hill," however, perhaps that I was, if possible, more in
terested than elsewhere ; where I stood in the same spot where " St. Paul,"
the undaunted, stood when he said to the men of Athens that they were too
fond of Idols, when right before him stood the colossal statue of Minerva
surmounting the Parthenon, and surrounded as he was on all sides by the
statues of the numberless Gods of Grecian mythology. They ridiculed him,
doubtless ; he spoke on, and his words were heard by a few that believed in
the Savior.
Do you wonder that I got enthusiastic at this beautiful spot ? But I must
hasten away to new scenes, and bid good-bye to classic Greece.
We leave for Naples in the French steamer to-morrow, the 13th. W  .

Deae P  : Rome, March 36, 1864.
We left Athens on the 13th, and on the 15th arrived at Messina ; remained
there three days. Nothing peculiarly interesting at that place to the
traveler. It is a city of about 150,000 inhabitants. We left in a little
Italian steamer for Naples, and going down to " Regglo," where St. Paul
stopped on his way to Rome, we remained there a few hours, and thence
steeruig between Scylla and Charybdis, steered for Naples. The night we
passed StromioU, his summit was enthroned in smoke ; and on the 18th, at
noon, we passed between Sorento and Capri into the beautiful Bay of
Naples. After going to our hotel and obtaining rooms, we took a drive
through the city and upon the Chiaja, the flnest drive in the city, and from
which the best view of the city and bay is to be had. No words can ade
quately express the beauty of the scenery about the city ; / will not even
attempt it. On Friday we went to the excavated city of Pompeii. We

390 TROWBBIDGE FAMILY.
were exceedingly interested there to see the identical houses and streets
just as they were when the inhabitants were there nearly eighteen hundred
years ago. There are some flne houses still left, among which are those of
" Sallust" and Diomede ; the last is the most Interesting feature in the city.
His dining room looks almost as when he left it ; his wine cellar is there
with a few of his wine jars. He and a few of his household fled to tlie
cellar when the city was destroyed, and they all perished ; the marks of
their struggles are still shown on the wall of the cellar. I could tell you a
thousand interesting things about Pompeii, and Herculaneum too, but you
have heard them all, and besides time will not allow me to narrate them all.
While I was at Naples I visited the grotto of Pozuoli — an exceedingly
wonderful affair ; it is cut through the solid rock for more than 3,000 feet,
is 69 feet in height, and it is more than 3,000 years since it was executed ;
who made it, nobody knows. Near it is the celebrated tomb of Virgil. I
visited it, and felt interested in viewing the spot where one of the best
classic authors lay at rest. The tomb itself is nothing but a large dome, but
the spot it covers is one of the most interesting in the vicinity of Naples.
I also visited the grotto of " the dog" and saw a poor dog tormented by
inhaling the carbonic acid gas which is so abundant in the cave. Last
Monday I went to the foot of Vesuvius, hired a horse and guide and ascended
to the top. I crossed over beds of hardened lava and witnessed one of the
most desolate scenes my eyes have ever beheld. I arrived at the base of the
cone, and dismounting from my horse, I climbed to the crater in thirty
minutes. The ascent was the most difficult I have experienced. I walked
around the burning crater and went down into it a few feet, but was driven
back by columns of smoke which were constantly ascending. The best of
all, as well as the most ridiculous, was my descent of the cone. My guide
told me that we could descend in eight minutes. I accordingly prepared
myself by buttoning my coat about me and rolling up my pants. The guide
sprang down the mountain like a deer, I after him like lightning ; I sank in
the cinders about eight inches, and my headway was such that to stop was
out of the question ; I passed the guide, and in three minutes after leaving
the summit, I was at the bottom of the cone. My old guide has been here
for fifty years as guide on the mountain, and says he never knew a person
to come down in so quick time. My view of Naples and the Bay from
Vesuvius I shall never forget. I visited the museum at Naples, where are
kept the mosaics, pictures, ornaments, etc., which were found in the ruined
cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. I saw the bread and fruit just as it
appeared in the old city, and the bracelets and rings which were worn by
persons now mouldered to dust. There are some valuable and interesting
pictures in the museum. I should like to tell you about the bronzes and
statuary, but have not the time. I really hope that the time will come
when you can come and enjoy all that is permitted Mr. B and myself.
We left Naples on Wednesday. I was there one week, and saw all that
was worth seeing in the city. I did not take the numerous excursions laid
down in the book ; it would have been pleasant enough, but all that I should
have gained would have been some fine views of landscape. My object is
to see all from which I can gain instruction. We work hard and fast ; are up
early and at work all day, and see every thing in one half the time that

TROWBBIDGE FAMILY. 391

most people spend at the same objects. If we were traveling with ladies,
of course we should occupy and lose more time. I will just mention an
instance. We met a large party of English and Americans, and while they
were busy looking up rooms and getting comfortably settled for several days,
we had finished sight-seeing and ready to go. My recollections of Naples
are as "vivid as if I had remained there a month instead of one week. In
our rambles we are not obliged to wait for others' motions, but adjust time
to suit ourselves only.
Holy Week at Rome began on Tuesday. We arrived on Wednesday, and
so many thousands of strangers were at the hotels, that we were obliged to
take beds at a private house. It was with the greatest difficulty that some
travelers could obtain rooms of any kind whatever in tlie city. The number
of visitors now in the city is estimated at forty tlwusand. Since I arrived
I have visited the ruins, including the Colliseum, the palaces of the Csesars,
the Forum ; visited St. Peter's several times ; been to the tomb of the
Scipios ; seen the " Dying Gladiator," at the Capitol ; seen the magniflcent
galleries of paintings in the Borghese and Corsica palaces ; been into the
splendid churches of St. Paul and St. John Lateran; rode out on the
Appian Way, and, in fact, have seen and done Rome, except the Vatican
and dome of St. Peter's. There have been ceremonies for the past few
days in the churches, but to-morrow is the celebration of Easter, which is
one of the sights of the world. Sunday, 1 have just retm-ned from St.
Peter's, having witnessed the celebration of "High Mass" there by the
Pope. Crowds of men, women and children began to throng the church at
six in the morning ; the crowds continued until as many as sixty thousand
people had found their way to the church; even then it was not filled. At
half-past ten the soldiers entered the great hall of the church. The Pope
was carried in an immense chair on the shoulders of half a dozen men;
he came along blessing the vast multitudes and passed within a few feet of
me, so I had a good view of him ; he is quite aged, and I think can hardly
live much longer. He was afterwards seated in a superb chair, and Mass
was celebrated., The singing was like that of another world; I cannot
describe it, except by saying exquisite. At 13 m., the Pope pronounced his
benediction and forgave all our sins; thus closed the celebration of the
Roman Catholic Easter. I am glad that I am here, and was able to see the
Pope and princes and dignitaries of the church at worship. 1 shall remain
here a few days longer and then leave for Florence, where you will next
hear from me. I wish to explore the Catacombs here, but I saw so many in
Egypt, that I have no great curiosity for them. Mr. B. thinks that he shall
never be at a loss to interest his church when he returns to America,
especially in relating his experiences of Palestine and Rome. W.

Dear F  : Florence, April, 1864
My last was from Rome. After writing you, I climbed to the top of St.
Peter's, even going into the ball ; the view was charming. I went through
and through the halls of the Vatican, and no words can adequately express
the beauty of the paintings and frescoes and statues — the " Wrestlers of

393 TROWBBIDGE FAMILY.
Canova," the " Perseus," the " Antinous," the " Lacoon," and the " Apollo
Belvidere," alone, are worth crossing from America to see. We went, on
leaving Rome, to " Civitia Vecchia," where we took the steamer to Leghorn.
We passed Elba, Corsica and Sardinia, anivrng at Leghorn in the evening.
Nothing of special interest detaining us at Leghorn, we left the next day
for Florence, -ma Pisa. Of course we ascended the " Champanile," or " the
famous Leaning Tower of Pisa," of which everybody has heard so much ;
went into the " Duono," or Cathedral, and into the Baptistry. The latter is
a remarkable building ; the echo inside is the flnest to be heard in the world.
The Oa/mpo Santo is well worth a passing visit ; the famous frescoes of Hell,
by Oscagnos, are ridiculous in the extreme. There are other places of
interest at Pisa, but the above mentioned are the best. On leaving Pisa we
went by rail up the fertile valley of the Arno, passing through Pistora,
where pistols were flrst invented, hence their name. We arrived here in the
evening. We have visited the " Ufizzi OaUery" and were much interested in
the flne statuary, especially with the beautiful " Venus de Medeci." The
paintings are of the v&ry best order, and by the Old Masters, as are those of
the Pitti Palace. The Palace Vecchio is interesting as being the one built
by the Medicis. Savonarolos prison is in this palace. The Duono, Campo-
nille and Baptistry are magniflcent. The Cacine is one of the pleasantest
public promenades I have ever seen. The Boboli Gardens are magniflcent.
Sunday I went to the Protestant Cemetery, (after being at the American
chapel,) saw the last resting place of Theodore Parker and Mrs. Browning.
To-day I drove to the little village of Fresole ; it is a beautiful spot ; the
view is unrivaled. We went to the Palace of Beronarotti, where there are
many mementoes of the renowned Michael Angelo. I called upon our
friend, Mead, the artist, and was much pleased with his cast of " The
Returned Soldier;" his statues of "Echo'' are splendid. After viewing the
various objects of interest here, I shall be off for Genoa, Turin, the Lakes
of Como and Maggiore and Milan, and to Venice. JtoZy i« beautiful ; the
climate delightful ; the skies of a heavenly blue ; in fact the whole country
is little else than a pasj-flscMse. ^
My next will be from Venice ; tUl then, good-bye. W.

Deae P  : Venice, April 17, 1864
My last was from Florence. After writing you, I visited the "Pitti
Palace," where are kept some of the gems of the best sculptors and artists
the world has ever seen. I wish I could tell you of the bronzes, the
marbles and paintings on exhibition in the galleries of Florence ; but I
must omit doing so now, for I have so many things else to see and tell you of.
I, however, keep my journal well written up, and when I return, perhaps I
may publish a " Book of Travels ;" who knows but I may flnally become a
(poor !) author, instead of a merchant ?
While at Florence, I went to the Museum, where are collected all the old
books, charts, and mathematical instruments of the famous old OaMeo; I
was, of course, greatly interested in that collection. One of the most

TROWBRIDGE FAMILY. 393
interesting objects in Florence is the chapel in the Church of St. Lorenzo.
The statues there are by Michael Angelo — his " Madonna," " St. Lorenzo a
Medici," one of " Night," and another of " Morning." The Medici Chapel,
close by, is magniflcent. In the Egyptian Museum, I saw the "Last
Supper," a famous piece by Raphael. There are hundreds of very interesting
objects that I should like to tell you of, but I must hasten on. I left Florence
by rail to Pistoga, then by diligence to Bologna ; visited the Academy of
" Fine Arts ; " saw Raphael's " Cecilia," Domenichino's " St. Agnes," Guide's
" Samson," and other paintings, too many to mention. Saw the famous two
leaning towers, Campo Santo, Church of St. Petronio, the Church of St. Domi-
nico, and, in fact, all that was worth seeing in the city. I was disappointed
in Bologna ; it was not beautiful, but just such a place that you would wish
to leave as soon as you got there. Left Bologna, and passing Modena, where
is kept the " old bucket," we stopped at Parma, saw the Cathedral Campo-
nille, the Royal Gardens, and the Farmese Palace, where there is a superb
library of 150,000 books, Luther's Psalter, letters from Galileo and Buona
parte, Corregio's frescoes, Canova's statue of " Concord," and abundance of
bronzes and paintings are to be seen in this palace. On the 9th, at noon, we
left for Genoa via Pracenzia ; spent the Sabbath there, and on Monday left
for Turin. While at Genoa we visited the Gardens, the Lighthouse, the
Cathedral, and the beautiful Church of the Annunciation. The Palaces of
Genoa are indeed famous; the best are the Babbi, the Pallovicini, the
Doria and Dwrazzo, famous for the staircase. We were interested much
in visiting the above. The most interesting things in Genoa, to me, are
the letters of Columbus to Spain, when he was in the West Indies, they
bear dates of 1503-4; there is also to be seen an old letter-case, which
he took with him on his flrst journey to discover America, 1492. Poor man, he
died ignorant of the fact that he had discovered a New Wm-ld. Genoa has
a population of 150,000, and is literally a city of Palaces. On Monday we
went to Turin, Victor Emmanuel's capital, arrived at nine p. m. I spent
three days there, during which time we visited the Paintings at the " Cas-
tello;" Carlo Dolces' " Virgm" is there; it is 200 years old, but looks as
fresh as if just painted. Victor Emmanuel's Palace is one of the flnest in
Europe ; the floors and furniture are superb ; the Cathedral, near by, and
the collection of antique weapons are very flne, better than those at Malta.
The Cemetery at Turin is extensive. The principal objects of interest at
Turin can all be seen in a few hours ; but the city itself requires two or three
days. We have not seen so flne a city since leaving America ; its cleanlmess
and regularity of streets is astonishing. The view of the Alps from the
Capuchin Convent, at Turin, is, perhaps, the flnest in the worid. We left
Turin for Milan, passing over the battle-flelds of Montebello and Magenta,
and not far from the Solferino fleld ; also the battle-fleld of Marengo. We
stopped on the way to Milan at Droua, from which place we took a steamer,
and sailed the whole length of Lake Maggiore ; the scenery on this lake is
so beautiful and superb that I have no power to do it justice. It is flfty
miles long, three broad, and on either side mountains, almost hidmg them
selves in the clouds. The sides of the mountains are covered with peasant's
houses, all making an extensive picture, which can only be appreciated by
being seen. We spent the night at the upper end of the lake, and the next

394 TROWBRIDGE FAMILY.
morning, at four o'clock, left for Droua, thus sailing twice the entire length
of the lake. Arriving at Droua, we left for Milan, where we arrived at
noon. Milan is a city of about 300,0.00, and very far from being a beautiful
city, as it is generally represented ; the houses are old, but the Cathedral is
wonderful for its beauty and delicacy of proportion. There are in and upon
it flve thousand statues, all of marble ; the view from the top is very beauti-
' ful. The most famous thing at Milan is " The Last Supper," a fresco by
Leonardo de Vinci ; it is much faded and worn, but even now is one of the
most wonderful frescoes in existence. The " Bibloteca Ambrosinia" is in
teresting, as containing old manuscripts, Thorwaldsen Medallions, and a
famous fresco by him of " Christ crowned with thorns ; " there are also here
a manuscript of Homer, of the third century ; a letter of Ariosto, one of
Galileo, an old Koran, and a lock of Lucrezia Borgia's hair. The " Brera " is
a celebrated picture gallery, and has in the rooms valuable frescoes, and in
estimable paintings by Raphael, and also by nearly all of the old masters.
The " Arch of Peace," and the Amphitheatre, built by Napoleon I., are
worth a visit ; the latter will contain 30,000 spectators. From Milan I took
the cars, on Friday, for Como, twenty-eight miles distant, from which place
we ascended Lake Como, the most beautiful sheet of water my eyes have ever
beheld. The mountains about the lake are almost unearthlj'", they have such
an air of stillness and majesty, that they appear to belong to another sphere.
I visited the celebrated villas at Bellogis, half way up the lake, and the
scenery was enrapturing in the extreme. At night we returned to Como,
and at eight p. m. were again at Milan. Yesterday we took the cars for " La
Belle Venezia," and having passed through Brescia, Bergamo (Bergamot
hears?), Verona (Romeo and Juliet), and Padua, we arrived here at ten p. m.,
put our baggage into a Gondola, and ourselves getting in afterwards, we
were rowed up the Grand Canal in the still night, jiist as the moon was
peeping out from behind the clouds. Venice is an anomaly when compared
to other cities — ^no horses, no carriages, canals, streets (few built upon),
seventy-two islands, one hundred and forty-five canals, three hundred and
flfty bridges, population 150,000. More hereafter. This is a splendid tour
through Europe that Mr. B and myself are taking. I tell all I have seen in
few words. I hope not too few ; description of the most that I see is im
possible ; time will not allow of it. Will write again, and give you my
ideas of Venice. W  .

Dear F-^- : Munich, Bavaeia, May 1, 1864.
My last was from Venice, about a fortnight ago. I had then just arrived"
at that city. We remained there a week, during which I saw all the in
teresting features of the city. You were, of course, aware of the immense
number of canals which render Venice, to most travelers, the most beautiful
and superb city in Europe ; no words are possible to describe the magical
appearance of the numberless palaces and churches as they appear in the
pale moonlight ; in fact, it looks just as it did when the old Doges used to
rule with their iron rods. The chief objects of interest are the churches of

TROWBRIDGE FAMILY. 395
San Marco, built in 1043 ; Maria Salute, Georgio Maggiore, the Mosaic manu
factory, the Glass Works, the old Palaces of former ages, the Bridge of
Sighs, the Prisons beneath the bridge, the Rialto bridge, and the Ducal
Palace ; at the last place are to be seen the famous " Lions' Mouths," where
the Citizens of the Republic were secretly denounced by their enemies ; in
the Council Chamber are all the Doges on canvass ; there is also a painting
by Tintoretto, 84 feet by 34 feet, the largest in the world. The dark dismal
dungeons under the Bridge of Sighs are very interesting. Before closing,
let me describe a Gondola. Gondalas are to Venice what donkeys are to
Egypt, and what horses are to Syria ; without a gondola Venice would be
robbed of all its singularity. It is a very long narrow boat, painted black,
in the middle is a sort of carriage top, black as night ; beneath this latter are
seats usually for four persons. Byron said that " a Gondola looked just like
a coffin slipped into a canoe." I was sadly disappointed when I saw one for
the first time, there is nothing picturesque or beautiful about it. It is rowed
by one Gondolier.
I left Venice on the 32d, and started for Vienna, the gay capital of the
Austrian empire, it is distant five hundred miles. We stopped the first night
at Trieste, at the head of the Adriatic ; it is the head-quarters of the Austrian
steamers. Nothing of especial interest there. The following morning we took
cars for Gratz, two hundred and forty miles distant, arrived at half-past
eight p. m., and arrived at Vienna the following day at flve p. m. You may
think we are moving too rapidly, but you must remember that we are travel
ing without ladies, consequently we have all our own time. Between Vienna
arid Trieste is the celebrated railroad, the best in Europe, and superior to any
in the world ; it is more than three hundred miles in length, and is built in
valleys and on lofty mountains, running along the edge of steep precipices^
and there are more than thirty tunnels cut through the solid rock. The
scenery is superb. I remained at Vienna three days ; saw the great Belvi
dere painting gallery (superb), the hearts, bowels and bodies of Austrian
Kings and Queens preserved in urns (horrid idea). The cathedral, churches,
library (interesting), museum of natural history, geology, botany, mineralogy,
etc., etc. The largest Cameo in the world is here, at Vienna, twenty-six
inches in circumference. The Imperial stables are magnificent. " Schon-
biung," the Emperor's summer residence, is one of the most charming places
I have ever seen ; there is a fine coUectioii of wild beasts there. I left
nothing unseen at Vienna, and on the 37th went down the Danube as far as
Presburg, the old capital of Hungary ; the sail was delightful ; remained at
Presburg over night ; visited the eminence where the Hungarian Kings were
formerly crowned ; returned next day to Vienna, arid the following day went
to Salsburg, where I stayed one day, visited the famous Salt Mines near by,
they are very remarkable ; in the heart of a mountain there is a large lake in
the interior of the mines, upon which we sailed in a small boat ; it was
lighted up by over three hundred lights. This morning we left Salsburg
and came to Munich, the capital of Bavaria. I will write you again, and
tell you about Munich. I shall go into Switzerland about Wednesday, and
when I am through there I shall go down the Rhine, visiting all places of
interest, proceed to Holland and Belgium, and so on to Paris. I shall not go
to Dresden or Berlin ; they are the repetition of Vienna and Munich. Gold

is " awful " high ; you will be obliged, I see by New York papers, to pay
about 3.50 per cent, for my drafts — it is an expensive time to travel. W  .

Dear Fathbe : Paris, May 31, 1864.
My last to you was from Munich, since which I have been occupying my
time in sight seeing. From Munich, a few days after writing you, we went
to Linden, on Lake Constance ; thence to Constance, Schaffhausen, to view
the celebrated " Falls of the Rhine," Zurich, Zug Lucerne, to Interlachen, by
the Brunig Pass of the Alps, to Berne, Lausanne and Geneva. I was de
lighted with Switzerland ; did not go to Chammoix, on account of my lungs,
which troubled me. From Geneva to Neufchatel, Basle, Strasbourg, Baden-
Baden, Heidelberg, Frankfort-on-the-Main, Mayence, dovrai the Ehine to
Bonn and Cologne ; I do not think the scenery equal to the Hudson ; from
Cologne to Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Antwerp, Brussels, Waterloo, and am
now in Paris, where unexpectedly I have just met my sister and party, not
having heard that they had left home in the United States. I will not at
tempt to describe the places I have visited since leaving Munich. It seems
from the length of time we have been traveling, and the great distance and
variety of countries we have visited, that, having now arrived at Paris, we
are almost home. We shall remain here a while, and then, visiting England,
Scotland and Ireland, shall embark for America. It will be useless for me to
describe the sights of this city, or of the other cities we shall visit ; that has
been done by others so often, that my description would be hardly worth
your reading. My journal, however, I shall continue, and when I return
will refer you to that. I hope my letters have been of some interest to you
and the family. I have written in a rambling sort of way, just as things
have appeared to me, using my own language, etc., etc.
Yours, William.

Deae Uncle Thomas :

NOTE J. New Ha-sten, April 1, 1859.

I have been told that you would like to have an outliue of my different
foreign tours, for the genealogical account of the Trowbridge family which
you are about to have printed. I have therefore made as brief a sketch
as possible from the manuscript pages of my journal, which I hope may
answer the required purpose.
In September, 1858, 1 formed one of a party composed of my father,
mother, sister Mary, and cousin E. Hayes Trowbridge, which sailed from
New York, in the steamship " Pulton," for Havre, where we arrived early in
October. Our voyage was devoid of any particular interest aside from that
which must always attend a first experience of sea life, and such an
experience it was to the larger part of our company. AiTiving in Prance,

XpOWBRIDGB FAMILY. 397
we began our journey by a short but most agreeable visit to the ancient
city of Rouen, continuing thence to Paris, where we remained a month
enjoying the various sights of that magnificent capital and its environs.
Early in November we commenced our progress southward, breaking the
long journey to Marseilles by a two days' visit to Lyons. We remained a
few days at Marseilles waiting for a suitable traveling carriage in which to
continue our route to Nice, as in those days the railway had not been con
structed, and arrived in that city after a delightful three days' drive through
some of the most beautiful scenery of Southern Prance. At Nice we spent
ten days realizing for the first time all that we had heard of the charms of
the Mediterranean coast, and at the close of our sojourn, again resumuig
our carriage for five days along the magnificent Cornice Road, to which any
description fails to do justice. The close of the flfth day found us at the
gates of Genoa. We had intended to make a very brief stay in this city,
but, owing to illness, we were detained there for three weeks. Duriug that
time we became thoroughly acquainted with the many objects of interest
in the city and its sunoundings, which crowd upon the traveler in a hurried
visit, but which we had time to enjoy at our leisure. We were not sorry,
however, to be again en route, and embarked, with pleasure, on a small
Sardinian steamer, the evening of the 31st of December, for Naples. The
day following our departure from Genoa, we spent in the harbor of Leg
horn ; starting again upon our voyage the ensuing evening, and reaching
Civita Vecchia, the port of Rome, the morning of the 33d. Dawn of the
34th found us entering the Bay of Naples. The day was just breaking over
one of the most beautiful scenes in the world, and we hurried up on deck
that we might miss none of its glories. The variety of light was one of
the most striking features of the spectacle. Vesuvius was In full eruption,
and cast the lurid light of its baleful fires athwart the quiet waters of the
bay. The moon was slowly sinking, its pale beams reflectiug with the
myriad twinkling stars in our steamer's wake. The encircling lights of the
city were yet unextinguished, and all were gradually growing dim before
the struggling glories of the rising sun. A brief half hour of enjoyment
brought us to the landing, and an equally short space of time found ns
comfortably located in an hotel overlookiag the bay, and the purple islands
of Capria and Ischia in the distance. Three weeks of extreme enjoyment
followed in visiting the churches and palaces of the city, the ruins of
Pompeii and Herculaneum, the circle of interesting and historical places
bordering the bay, and finding a fitting ending in the renowned temples of
Psestum. These ruins excited our enthusiasm to such a degree that a visit
to Athens was spoken of, as we sat upon the steps of one of the temples ;
and before our return to Naples, a still longer journey was talked of, and
Constantinople took its place as one of the cities to be visited early in January.
My father, cousin and myself sailed from Naples in a French steamer,
arriving at Messina after a fourteen hours' voyage. We remained a few
hours on shore, driving through the crowded thoroughfares of the Sicillian
town, and embarking on another French steamer, began our voyage to
Athens. We had sufficient opportunity to visit the many points of mterest
in the Grecian capital, and, greatly pleased with our visit, resumed our
joui-ney to Constantinople.

398 TROWBRIDGE FAMILY.
At Constantinople we spent ten days, owing much of our pleasure and
comfort to the kind attentions of the American Minister, Mr. James
Williams, of Tennessee. Through his influence, permits were obtained to
visit palaces and mosques and Turkish places of worship otherwise closed
to travelers. A trip across the Golden Horn to Scutari, and an excursion up
the Bosphorus to the mouth of the Black Sea, were among the enjoyments
planned for us by Mr. Williams and successfully carried out by his influence.
Our visit closed with a superb spectacle — the progress of the Sultan to his
favorite Mosque on the Turkish Sabbath, surrounded by his guards, miuis
ters, and beauties of his harem. Scarcely had we watched the last of the
cortege disappear from view, before we were hurried to the boat awaiting
us at the landing to take us to the French steamer on which we were to
sail for Smyrna. We reached Smyrna in safety, and remained two days in
t^e city, visiting all that was of interest, and being hospitably entertained
by the American missionaries. At the close of our visit, we embarked on
another French, steamer, and after a somewhat unpleasant voyage, reached
the island of Malta. A day in the city of Valetta and its environs, enabled
us to see much that was curious ; and on a stormy evening, early in Febru
ary, we steamed out of the magnificent harbor on our return to Messina and
Naples. Our voyage that night was not unattended with danger, and it was
with thankful hearts that we saw the sun rise over the snow crowned
summit of Mount JEtna. Twelve hours more found us again, after passing
in full view of Stromboli, in active operation in the harbor of Naples
having made this most interesting- tour in four weeks. Two days later, we,
with our party now complete, sailed for Civita Vecchia, the port of Rome.
Six weeks passed quickly away amid all the delights of the eternal city.
The time was full of excitement ; rumors of war were astir ; and so immi
nent seemed at times the danger, that it was often discussed whether we
should attempt any more prolonged journeyings in Italy. We, however,
decided to, at least, endeavor to carry out our original plans, and left Rome,
late in March, by carriage, for Florence. The charms of a journey by this
slow means of progress, in this loveliest season of the year, for Italy, were
fully realized by us all, and, regretfully, on a golden April evening, we
entered the gates of Florence.
Our visit to Florence was full of excitement, for, during our stay, a
bloodless revolution took place. The Grand Duke was forced to fly from
his capital, never to return. The existing government was overthro"wn, and
Florence pronounced for Victor Emanuel. War between Italy and Austria
was declared ; troops were hurrying to the frontier, and the army of Napo
leon was on the way to the rescue, as it was then supposed, of Italy. The
names of the King of Sardinia and the Emperor of the French were on
every one's lips, and even we, foreigners, could not avoid sharing in the
enthusiasm which all were feeling. The political condition of the country,
however, interfered with our plans, and, most regretfully, we found our
selves obliged to give up our projected visit to Milan and Venice, and turn
our faces again toward Genoa. The latter city we reached by sea from
Leghorn, and found the harbor crowded with French men-of-war, discharg
ing their living cargoes of troops, who were to be joined by other regiments
coming into Italy. It was, at flrst, thought impossible for us to continue on

TROWBRIDGE FAMILY. 399
to Turin, and from thence across Mont Cenis to Geneva, as the trains had
been seized bj- the government for the transportation of troops and ammu
nition. Nearly all our traveling- companions of the winter preferred leaving
Genoa by sea for Marseilles ; but, unwilling to be still further intenupted in
the prosecution of our plans, we determined to await events, the hope of
reaching Geneva as we had arranged. Our patience had not to endure a
severe test, for on the afternoon after our arrival at Genoa, our courier
informed us that a passenger train, positively the last, as indeed it proved
to be, was to leave at sunset for Turin. Glad of so speedy an opportunity,
we availed ourselves of it, and left Genoa, which was fllled with soldiers
and munitions of war, only to meet other regiments at every station,
apparently full of enthusiasm and eager to meet the much hated Austrians.
Night had fallen before we reached Turin. The city was brilliantly
lighted, and soldiers seemed to be the sole occupants of the street. Every
sight and sound told of coming- war, and we, the ladies of the party, wished
ourselves far from the scene of so much excitement. The day after our
arrival at Turin being Sunday, we decided to remain until Monday, and
then, if not prevented, go on to Susa, across Mont Cenis, and pass on to
Switzerland. Sunday evening proved a very exciting time. French regi
ments of artillery poured into the city for hours, weary with their march
across Mont Cenis, but brightening up into enthusiasm at the tumultuous
greeting which they received. Every window and balcony was crowded
with ladies, who strewed flowers upon the heads of the officers, and joyfully
waved handkerchiefs as the weary foot soldiers came in sight. The follow
ing morning Victor Emanuel left his capital for the seat of war, and
evening found us too quitting Turin, and in the darkness of the night, we
arrived, by railway, at Susa, at the foot of Mont Cenis. There one of the
most striking scenes that we had ever witnessed lay before us. Thousands
of French soldiers were encamped near the railway. The lurid light of
torches, illuminating their pale faces, and gleaming bayonets, while several
companies were marching by the inn to take their places in the train for
Turin. The small waiting room was crowded with officers ; but through
the hours we were waiting, we did not hear one rude word, or witness an
unseemly act. We stood at the door watching with a mournful interest the
long lines of soldiers filing past, and several times offered wine and bread,
which were thankfully received, and twice purses were opened and remu
neration offered. At midnight our diligence, with its twelve mules, was
ready for us, and as our party was sufficiently large to occupy the whole of
it, we made ourselves as comfortable as circumstances permitted. Slowly
we toiled up the steep ascents, and wearily passed the hours till dawn.
Morning, however, broke over a most interestmg «cene— the snow was
falling, and the heights above us were white with the descending storm.
But, apparently sweeping down upon us, from the same heights, was an
unbroken line of soldiers, wearing the uniform of France. The old stories
of the First Napoleon's campaigns came to us with the vividness of reality,
and we seemed to see the Great General himself crossing the sunny Alps.
There were officers on horseback, artillery wagons, vivandiers, sometimes
walking or resting on the baggage piled in the wagons. Many soldiers
were sittmg by the wayside ; others were drinking from their flasks and

400 TROWBRIDGE FAMILY.
eating their crusts as they marched. The entire day we passed between
these ranks of men, many of whom were destined never to return to
France. We gave wine and bread to those who seemed most in need,
¦ receiving cheers and thanks in return. We noticed the number of the
regiments, many of which we read of afterwards, and the remains of which
we were destined to see, shattered, it is true, but victorious.
We were fortunate in having as a member of our party an English
officer who had passed through the Indian rebellion, and whose military
knowledge gave an additional pleasure to a scene perhaps the most thrill-
ingly interesting we had ever witnessed. Weary with excitement, we
flnally reached the foot of the mountain, and at Chambery took the traiu
for Geneva. Midnight found us established in an hotel on the borders of
Lake Geneva, and morning broke over the quiet lake and city which no
rumors of war troubled or alarmed.
A week at Geneva gave us time to rest after our exciting journey from
Italy, and towards the end of May we left that city for Vienna, visiting en
route Zurich, the Falls of Schaffhausen, passing up Lake Constance, stopping
at Munich, Salzburgh, Lintz, and descending the Danube to Vienna. At the
different Austrian towns on our route, we found ourselves again in the midst
of preparations for war. Regiments were marching to join the main body
of the army; and the beautiful white uniforms of the Austrian soldiers
became as familiar to us as the less shovry ones of the French and Sardinians
had been but a month before. At Vienna we witnessed the departure of
the Emperor Francis Joseph for the seat of war, and the leave taking
between him and the royal family. Ten days passed too quickly amid the
pleasures of the Austrian capital, and once more we found ourselves en
route for Prague. A few days in the Bohemian city, and then we found
rest again at the baths of Toplitz, in Bohemia, where we passed three quiet
weeks. From Toplitz we followed the Elb to Dresden, and from the Saxon
capital pursued our journey to Leipzig and Berlin. From the Prussian
capital we visited Potsdam, and the gentlemen of our party witnessed at
that place a magnificent review of a portion of the Prussian army by the
King and Crown Prince. From Berlin we went to Hanover, passing the
Fourth of July in that city. Prom Hanover we entered Holland, and made
a most interesting tour through a portion of that singular kingdom. We
remained several days in Amsterdam, going from that city to the Hague,
visiting all that was most famous in the Dutch capital, and passing on to
Rotterdam, and from thence to Antwerp ; again, from Antwerp to Brussels,
where the chief object of interest was the field of Waterloo; and it was on
our way out to that memorable spot that we first heard that the brief but
splendid war which we had so interested ourselves in following, had come
to an abi-upt close, and that peace was declared.
From Brussels we continued our tour to Aix-la-Chapelle, from thence to
Cologne, where we took a steamer to ascend the Rhine, stopping a day at
Coblentz, and another at Mayence, where we took the train for Frankfort-
on-the-Maine. After a day in the latter city, we again took the train for
the quaint old city of Heidelberg. A few days passed delightfully m
visiting the grand old castle, univeraity, etc., and then we started upon what
proved one of the most delightful of our experiences of foreign travel— a

TROWBRIDGE FAMILY. 401
tour through Switzerland. Entering Switzerland at Basle, we spent one
day and night in that ancient city. The day passed in seeing its curious
relics of by-gone times, and the evening on the piazza of the hotel, which
overhangs the rushing Rhine. Prom Basle to Berne was but a continuation
of the pleasure, and the view we obtained from the terrace of Berne of the
magniflcent range of the Bernese Alps, was but a foretaste of what was in
store for us in our journey through the different Alpine passes which we
were enabled to make.
From Basle our Swiss journey may be said to have fairly begun; for the
evening of the day of our departure from Berne found us located in a
charming Swiss inn at Interlachen, directly in the face of the Jungfrau,
whose snowy summit was piercing through the clouds and turning golden
in the light of the setting sun. After a few delightful days in this most
beautiful -Tillage, my father, cousin and myself, accompanied by an excellent
Swiss guide, left Interlachen, by carriage, for Lauterbrunnen, where, after
having seen the remarkable Staubbach fall, we mounted horses and com
menced the ascent of Wengern Alp. Crossing this fine pass, we reached
Grindelwald at sunset, in time to see the glazier, for which this village is
famous. The following morning found us again in the saddle, and although
the ascent and descent of the superb Rosenlain pass was difficult, we
thought ourselves amply repaid for all our fatigue by the scenery of the
higher Alps. From Merglingen we continued our journey on mule back to
Lucerne, arriving on the borders of that beautiful lake at sunset. From
Lucerne we made the ascent of the Righi, passing a night on its summit,
and being so fortunate as to witness a thunderstorm in the mountaius below
us while we were in tranquility above. A flne sunset and a superb sunrise,
which alone repaid the toil of the ascent, and the very early rising before
dawn. The following, day we descended and sailed up the Lake of the
Four Cantons to Altorf, famous for the exploits of William Tell. From
Altorf we made the ascent of Mount St. Gothard, spending a night in the
hospice on its summit. The following flay we drove down its magnificently
engineered road till within sight of the first Italian station. Returning, we
made the Furca pass, pursuing our way down the valley of the Rhone, visit
ing the Rhone glacier to Martigny. From Martigny we made the ascent of
Mount St. Bernhard, spending a night with the monks in the hospice on
its summit. The following day we descended to Martigny, and twenty-f our
hours after left that village for Chammoni by the pass of the Tite Noir.
Three days at Chammoni enabled us to cross the Mer de Glace, and make
the usual round of excursions through some df the most wonderful scenery
of Switzerland. We also witnessed the fete given to a party of Russian
scientific men after their successful ascent of Mont Blanc.
We left Chammoni for Geneva, where we were joined by other members
of our party. Our stay in Geneva was very brief, as, in common with all
other foreigners, we shared in the desire to hurry on to Paris in order to
witness the triumphal entrance of the victorious French army, and the
review of the troops by Louis Napoleon, in the Place Vendome, on the 15th
of August.
We left Geneva on the 13th of August, arriving in Paris, after many
delays, at noon on the 14th. Our rooms had been engaged for some time at

403 TROWBRIDGE FAMILY.
the Hotel de Louvre, and most fortunate, as it resulted, for the crowds that
fllled the city had not in many cases a roof to cover them. On the 15th,
the most superb military display which had been seen in Europe since the
days of the First Napoleon, was witnessed by the countless throngs which
had rushed to Paris to be present on the occasion. The Place Vendome,
arranged like a gigantic amphitheatre, was filled with those who had been
fortunate enough to procure places, and we were happy enough to be
included in the number. Our places were sufficiently near the balcony on
which the French Empress sat, with the Prince Imperial and her attendant
ladies, to enable us to watch her movements throughout the review. The
Emperor sat motionless on his horse below this balcony, while eighty
thousand soldiers filed past him. It was an overwhelming sight ; many of
the regiments which we had seen complete on Mont Cenis, passed before
him with sadly diminished numbers-; and it was pitiful to see the wounded,
who throughout life would have to bear the marks of that terrible campaign.
Austrian banners, pierced with balls, waved proudly over them, and cannon,
taken from the enemy, were drawn past in black and seemingly unending
lines. The interest to us was intense, as we had, as it were, witnessed the
beginning of the war, and were also present at its most triumphant con
clusion. Our original plan had been to go to England and Scotland after the
August fetes in Paris. But illness again interfei;ed with our projects, and
we remained at the Hotel de Louvre until the early part of September,
when, as it was impossible for the entire party to cross the Channel, my
cousin and I found some friends who were about to make the same journey
that we had planned, and at the close of the first week in September, crossed
from Boulogne to Folkstone, and passed on at once to London. At London
we remained ten days, seeing all that was possible, in so short a time, of the
English capital, and then journeyed to Leamington, from which point we
visited Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwick Castle, and the ruins of Kenilworth.
From thence we went to Chatswoj-th, the famous seat of the Duke of
Devonshire, and passed a day in Sheffield. From Sheffield we continued
our journey into Scotland, visiting Edinburgh, where we remained a week;
saw the Castle of Stirling, made a hasty tour through the Trosachs, crossed
Loch Catrine and Loch Lomond, spent two days in Glasgow, returning to
Edinburgh, and from thence to London. The close of the first week in
October found us again in Paris, and on the 15th of that month, my cousin
and myself sailed from Havre for New York, in the steamer "Arago,"
arriving there on the 3d of November, 1859.

Second Voyage — {Around the World.)
On the 13th of August, 1863, I sailed from New York, in the steamer
" Ocean Queen," under the care of Mr. and Mrs. O. Hoffman Burrows, for
Aspinwall, this being the flrst stage of a voyage to Hong Kong, where I
purposed spending three months with my sister, Mrs. Silas E. Burrows, Jr.
My sister had been living three years in China, and it had been decided that
the voyage and residence, for a time, in a mild climate, would, perhaps.

TROWBRIDGE FAMILY. 403

restore me to health, to which I had been for some time a stranger. The
" Ocean Queen " by no means merited her high-sounding title. In those days
the Paciflc Railway had no existence, save in the brains of its projectors,
and the only means of reaching Aspinwall, by sea, was in one of the Vander
bilt steamers, which were uncomfortable, in every sense of the word. It
was August, and intensely hot, and we numbered, all told, when we left
New York, eight hundred souls. Of course the larger part of the passen
gers belonged m the steerage ; but, apparently, the fact was ignored, as we
of the flrst class were obliged to share our deck accommodations, during the
day, with all others; and at night our deck state-rooms were rendered
most unpleasant by the proximity of women and children, who, unable to
sleep in theu- crowded quarters, were allowed to encumber the deck to our
very doors. But as all disagreeable things have an end, so had this voyage
to Aspinwall, and on the tenth day after our departure from New York, we
landed among the cocoanut palms of this forlorn tropical town! Forlorn as
it might be, it was at least terra flrma, and afforded us glimpses of tropical
scenery and life, under different aspects from any with which we had,
hitherto, been familiar. Our stay in Aspinwall was, happily, of the shortest,
and was comprised in the time which it took us to pass from the steamer to
the railway station. The cars we found commodious and cool, with bamboo
seats, and in two hom-s from the time of our landing we were on our way
across the Isthmus. We were three hours and a half in crossing, during
which brief time we realized more of the magnificence of tropical growth
and scenery than we had learned from all the books on the subject which
we had ever read. That passage of the Isthmus, brief as it was, has left with
me a picture of nature's resources, and overflowing luxuriance, such as I
shall never forget. At the end of our journey the city of Panama came in
sight, but we had no time to enter it, as night was at hand, and our steamer,
the " Golden Age," waited our coming, three miles down the Bay. After
a few moments delay, we, eight hundred in all, were crowded on to small
steam tugs, and in the gathering twilight parted from the shore. The lights
of the city faded away, and the waves, which we severed, striving to com
pensate for the increasing darkness, by a superb display of phosphorescent
light. A few moments of confusion, and we were ushered on to the deck,
and into the saloon of what appeared to us a floating palace — so superior
was it to the steamer we had just left at Aspinwall. Our voyage from
Panama to San Francisco was the very poetry of sea life. Our accommo
dations were luxurious. The Pacific was as tranquil and blue as a summer
lake, and our course was so frequently near the shore that the cloudy sum
mits of mountains were in full view, and sometimes the life and vegetation
of the coast discernable. The sunsets were covered with all the tints we
had been taught to look for on the Paciflc, and the nights warm and illumi
nated by stars, the brilliancy of which we had never seen equalled even on
winter nights at home. The voyage was broken by a visit of a few hom-s
to the Mexican town of Acapulco. We remained in port, on the steamer
till the coolness of the evening approached, and then, entering a small boat'
we rowed to the shore, through waves colored with sunset hues, and having
before us groves of palms sharply outlined against the golden evening sky.
After twenty-flve days of sea life we reached San Francisco, entering the

404 TROWBRIDGE FAMILY.
Golden Gate in the dusk of evening, and shortly afterwards we were com
fortably established in the Occidental Hotel, where we found every comfort
and luxury that our own metropolis could have afforded. We remained in
San Francisco until the 14th of October, when we embarked on the "Tanjore,"
a new ship of two thousand tons, on her first voyage from Boston to Hong
Kong. We were her only cabin passengers. But she carried four hundred
Chinese, of whom only four were women, returning with the bones of theu-
kindred, neatly packed in square boxes, and the accumulations of their resi
dence in California, to their native land. The ship lay some distance down
the stream, and as the boat in which we were approaching her neared the
side, showers of red and gold papers fell upon our heads, let fall by the
Chinese, as we were afterwards told, to appease their gods, and secure them
selves from any harm which might arise from the presence of unbelievers on the
long voyage to their homes. Our manner of reaching the deck of the " Tan
jore," was as*QOvel to us as it was disagreeable. An arm chair was lowered to
our boat, and despite the rising and falliug of the waves, we were, one after
the other, made secure in it, covered with the flag of our country, and amid
the supreme shouts of the Chinese, hoisted up on to the deck, most thankful
to find ourselves unhurt, with a firm plank beneath us. In the dusk of
evening we set sail, and through a gathering fog we left the harbor. Our
feelings were not of the most cheerful. The voyage was to be a long one,
how long we could not tell, and our track lay over the lonely Paciflc. We
were surrounded by foreigners, who out-numbered us immensely, and
who, to say the least, did not regard us with favorable eyes. But experience
proved that what we had so often been told, was true, that the safest pas
sengers to carry, in such numbers, are Chinese, on a return voyage to their
homes, as each one has interests of his own to protect, and consequently
keeps jealous watch of all others. The flrst break in the monotony of our voy
age was the approach to the Sandwich Islands. We had hoped to land at
one of the ports, but circumstances induced the Captain to alter the proposed
plan of the voyage, which alteration came very near being most serious to
us. The crew, which had been engaged with this understanding, became
restive at the change, and when it was made known to them that we were to
continue on our course, a mutiny was threatened. We, ladies, were on deck one
evening, when, suddenly, a pistol shot startled us, and a noise of hurrying
footsteps terrifled us so, that we hastened to the cabin below. We had been
standing on the upper deck, looking at the outlines of the islands, when
these disturbing sounds occurred. Directly afterwards the Captain locked us
below, and then we became aware of a serious struggle on deck. Reports
of flre-arms, shouts and oaths were heard. The noise increased in the most
alarming and unaccountable manner ; shouts, and shrieks and heavy blows.
The time dragged slowly by, while we sat trembling below, fearing the
worst, and not knowing, but that, at any moment, our main dependence,
Mr. Burrows, might be injured. It may have been an hour, and, perhaps,
longer, when Mr. Burrows appeared, telling us that the danger was past,
although two of the sailors had been wounded by the pistol shots, and
others bruised by the blows of the Chinese. Happily, these latter sided with
the Captain, and falling upon the sailors, so belabored them, that but for the
Captain's authority, not a sailor would have sm-vived to work the ship into

TROWBRIDGE FAMILY. 405

port. The sight of two of the ring-leaders, m chains, on the deck, kept us
in mind of the peril we had encountered for some days, and we did not re
gain our feeling of security for a long time after the commotion occm-red.
Our voyage to the Sandwich Islands had consumed seventeen days, and for
thirty-one days after losing sight of them our voyage dragged monotonously
on. The weather was extremely fine, but for several days we were be
calmed m mid-ocean, not a sail in sight, nor a living thing, save the sea birds
and shoals of porpoises, which hovered and sailed about our fioatmg
home. The loneliness of this voyage was its leading characteristic, and
day followed day, and we made little or no progress, and saw no evi
dence of the world beyond. We almost fancied ourselves in an enchanted
ship on a magic ocean, to which there was to be no further shore. But on
the forty-eighth day after our departure from San Francisco, we came in
sight of the great white rock, called Rocha Blanca, which is the first land to
greet the eyes of the weary voyager; and, as if by magic, we found ourselves
in the midst of curious looking boats with mat sails, the construction of
which was very novel to our eyes. At length, on the evening of the last day
of November, we entered the harbor of Hong Kong, by the Lycemoon pass,
and anchored in quiet waters. Lights gleamed from the shore, and the bay
ing of the dogs, and cocks crowing, were the pleasantest sounds that had
greeted our ears for many a day. Our arrival had been at midnight, so that
it was not till the following morning that the fair city of Victoria, with
its surrounding hills, burst upon our eyes. There, standing on the
"Tanjore's" deck, we caught sight of Mary's magnificent home, with its
noble proportions, and high tower, lifting itself above the rich growth
of trees which enclose it. We had but a short time to wait before we
saw a boat approaching us, and soon Mrs. Ogden Burrows recognized
her brother, and I my brother-in-law. A few hurried greetings, and
we were lowered over the ship's side in a chair, and safely deposited in
a fine boat, with cushions and awnings, then flying over the waters as fast as
eight stout oarsmen could pull us, we reached the landing in an incredibly
short space of time, and once more touched dry land. There we found
sedan chau-s and bearers awaiting us, and entering these, we were swiftly
borne, amid strange costumes, and new sounds, under a brilliant sun, up a
hill to the gate of the Burrows' mansion. This flew open, and ascending a
graveled path, bordered with rose trees, and gigantic Japonica shrubs in full
bloom, we came to a broad, high flight of quaint steps, on either side of
which were stands of fragrant plants, and at the top of these were wide
verandahs, almost hidden behind the vases of flowers. The house appeared
to be like a palace, as we stood in the wide polished hall, receiving the
warmest greetings from those who had been watching for our coming. We
were conducted up a fine staircase by Chinese servants, in the livery which
is worn in all private houses, to our rooms, which, after our confined sea
quarters, looked quite large enough to contain an ordinary sized house. At
tached to each of these were back rooms, furnished with every requisite for
bathing, which one appreciated, perhaps, more highly than all the other
comforts with which we were surrounded, as a bath-room had not been in
cluded in the " Tanjore's'' accommodations. Opening the long French win
dows, we stepped out on the marble-paved verandahs, wide enough for

406 TROWBRIDGE FAMILY.
four to walk abreast, and looked out upon the harbor, and the far away hills
and ships, and crowds of boats, all shining beneath the beams of the morn
ing sun. We were silent, through happiness at this culmination of all our
hopes, to which we had been looking forward during our weary voyage, and
also, perhaps, through excess of admiration, for though not unaccustomed
to scenes of beauty, our eyes had never rested on anything more lovely than
the harbor of Hong Kong. The atmosphere was as balmy as a June day,
and the coloring of sea and sky like the soft hues of a crayon picture. The
three months that I spent in Hong Kong were among the most agree
able of my life. They seemed to me like one long holiday, of which pleasure
was the natural atmosphere. Hong Kong is a little world within itself, cut
off, as it then was, from communication with the great world beyond, save
at stated periods of a fortnight, when the steamers brought news from
Europe and America. The inhabitants were dependent on one another for
enjoyment and amusement. And as all acknowledged this dependence, the
community was hospitable in the highest degree. Balls, dinners, open au-
fetes followed each other in such quick succession, that one occasion of the
kind was only a signal for another, so that the time fled away on brightest
wings. To make the enjoyment of such pleasures quite perfect, one had a
climate which, during the winter months, is as soft as that of Italy, but
more agreeable, and rarely, from October to March, broken by a shower.
Sunshine and fiowers are common blessings, and after a succession of our
inclement New England winters, it seemed to me like a new birth into a
fairer world. The deep blue of the sky and sea, the soft tints of red, and
grey and purple, which covered the hills as they receded into the distance,
recalled some of the loveliest of Italian days and scenes. And yet, even
Naples, can hardly rival the combination of these charms, which make Hong
Kong, iu winter, one of the most agreeable places in the world.
On the second of January we were enabled to carry out a plan we had
formed to visit Canton, and we accordingly left Hong Kong, by steamer, for
the Portuguese Island of Macao, a favorite Summer resort for the inhabit
ants of the larger cities. As there are no good hotels, visitors always take
the bungalow of some friend, and ours happened to be a particularly com
fortable one on the sea shore, having only a garden between it and the
beach. The rose trees which surrounded it were in full bloom. Orange
trees drooped with ripened fruit, and June breezes recalled to us many a
happy day and lovely scene in Italy. We took our servants with us from
Hong Kong ; my sister's Chinese maid, or Amah, and three men servants.
We had written to a friend to have a cook in the house, and we found await
ing us a sumptuous supper, sent in by a friend of Mr. Burrows. We spent
three days on the island, which were full of incident and unalloyed enjoy
ment. While we were there the entire town was illuminated, in honor of the
birth of the Portuguese Prince Royal. We had seen Naples and Paris illumin
ated ; but this, though on a miniature scale, was really beautiful. Macao,
like Naples, curves around a bay, and, standing at a certain point, we could
see the tovsm, like a sparkling girdle reflected in the water. We were on
our way to a dinner, given us by friends, and were carried from one point of •
observation to another, with uncovered heads, needmg no protection against
the balmy atmosphere of the night. There are two or three objects of

TROWBBIDGE FAMILY. 407
Interest in Macao ; but, perhaps, the most prominent is the ruined church,
more than flve hundred years old ; nothing but the front is standing, all the
rest having, long since, gone to decay, but the facade rises as complete as when
flrst erected, and the carved saints and images of the Virgin gaze as placidly
and serenely downwards as if the mass of ages was not fast obliterating their
features, or the rank vegetation veiling their faces from the beholder's eyes.
You reach the ruined church by an immense flight of steps, worn and broken
by the feet of dead generations, and the heavier foot of time. You mount
these steps as if to enter a grand cathedral, but no sound of organ, or voice
of priest, echoes on the soft air ; no cloud of incense rises on the balmy
breeze. Your hand is on the portal ; no grand cathedral meets your eye.
You gaze through into vacancy, for the aisles are green with moss and vine,
and the dome is the blue vault of heaven. In Europe I have seen many a
ruin rich with legend, and grand in its decay, but never anything that im
pressed me more strongly than the front of this church, rising perfect and
unbroken. The entrance, as it were, to beauty and cloistered quiet, and, yet
a simple wall between us and green earth beyond. The gardens, made
famous by the Portuguese poet, Camoens, are charming, in their way, but
I fancy that but few would visit them, except to see the cave where so many
years of his exile were spent. We, however, passed a morning there, taking
the gardens in our tour of sight-seeing, and having gained a store of pleasant
memories connected with this delightful little island, we left Macao, on the
flfth of January, in the steamer for Canton. The voyage, of ten hours, was
monotonous, but relieved by the sight of the barrier forts, reduced by the
American fleet, and numerous Pagodas, the flrst that I had seen. The in
significance of the forts surprised me, and it was difficult to suppose that
they ever could have been, in the slightest degree, formidable. There was one
source of interest derived from the past, which threw a strange charm over
the river and its shores. In childhood we had been entertained, time after
time, by accounts of our grandfather's visit to Canton, and his passage up
the Canton river ; and as we passed along, these stories came back to me,
and I could, with difficulty, realize that I was looking upon the very scene,
unchanged, that he had told us of years before, and which, to our childish
ears, seemed like a tale of another world, than this which we inhabit. We
arrived at Canton about flve in the afternoon, and then such a scene greeted
our eyes, and such a Babel of voices assailed our ears, as I had never before
seen or heard, for hundreds of boats crowded about the steamer eager for
passengers. There were shouts of the men, the shriller cries of women,
and the screams of the babies which the Chinese women carry strapped upon
their backs, as they row their boats. There are more than flfty thousand
boats ou the Canton river, each boat being the home of a family. There
they are born, and there they die. I was told by an old resident of Canton
that thousands of these Chinese had never set foot on land, never quitting
their boats from life's beginning to its end. This is difficult to realize, when
you consider that the river is so narrow that you can see across it ; but these
boats are the homes of the people, and in some of the larger ones the masts
and rudder are heir-looms in a family, descending from one generation to
another. One can conceive of the swarms of human life on this river, when
one is told that, in the fearful typhoon of 1863, twenty thousand boats were

408 TROWBBIDGE FAMILY.
destroyed, arid forty thousand dead bodies are said to have been picked up
on the banks. There are entire streets of boats moored to the shore, and
the passage from one to another is rendered easy by a plank. There are
names for the various kinds of floating homes — Jampans for the poorest
description, and Flower boats, or floating saloons, which are richly carved
and gilded, and adorned with satin curtains, chandeliers and couches. But
all have, in common, the two great eyes on the bow, for the Chinamen, in
their strange attempt at our language, say, " suppose no got eyes, how can
see ? Suppose no can see, how can walkey ? " The streets of the city are so
narrow that the out-stretched hands can almost touch the opi>osite sides,
which consist of long lines of little shops, having before their doors narrow
strips of board, painted scarlet, decorated with golden letters. Within these
shops is every conceivable article of Chmese manufacture, and swarms of
human beings. As we passed through them, in our sedan chairs, on the
seventh of January, the sights were most novel to us, and, apparently, we
afforded subjects of no less interesting observation to the throngs of China
men, for it was with difficulty that the mounted servants freed a passage for
our sedan chairs. There was a continuous shout from our bearers, and a
prolonged answer from the crowds we passed through. The noise added to
the confusion which reigned around us, and what we saw passed by us like
a dream. I have a vague recollection of streets devoted to butcher shops,
where dried rats, cats and dogs were exposed for sale, and of an all-per
vading unwholesome odor. Then came huge temples, and rows of idols,
sitting on gigantic lotus flowers symbolic of repose and godlike serenity,
from which arose clouds of sickening perfume. Upon the steps of every
temple as we alighted from our chairs there was a crowd waiting to receive
us. The women pushed close upon us to examine our dresses, and the men
howled, and seemed inflnitely amazed, for foreign ladies are a novelty in
Canton. In one temple we saw flve hundred gods, the flve hundredth of
which was the image of an English sailor, a cigar in his mouth, and from
the worship paid him, we fancied him to be a great favorite. Our home,
while in Canton, was in the house belonging to Oliphant & Co., and we were
most hospitably entertained by the gentlemen resident there. Our days
were passed in excursions to gardens and palaces of interest, uj} and dovni
the river, and the day before our departure, we spent an hour with Mr. and
Mrs. Bonny, American Missionaries, who had devoted many years to teach
ing Chinese children, of whom they had a great number living in their
house. On the flrst of March, 1864, Mr. Silas E. Burrows, Jr., my brother-in-law,
my sister Mary and myself, left Hong Kong in the steam-ship " Emma," on
our way to our native land. We had a rough run of flve days to Singapore.
The day before reaching there we were sailing along the Malayan coast, and saw
distinctly the surf, dashing white and silvery on the shores of Sumatra. We
reached Singapore at night, and for hours before coming to anchor the air
was laden with the perfume of fiowers and aromatic plants. The following
morning we went on shore, where we remained a day and a half. The
weather was intensely warm, the temperature varying but little during the
entire year, as Singapore is but about two degrees north of the Equator. The
vegetation is extremely luxiuiant— the palm, banyan, banana, pine apple, and

TBOWBRIDGE FAMILY. 409
bread-fruit trees growing in profusion. As we touched the shore wc were
instantly surrounded by a crowd of natives, whose brilliant turbans and gor
geous, though scanty, attire, shown in fine contrast to their ebony skins.
There is little to be seen at Singaisore ; some pretty gardens, where flowers
of every description fiourish in exceeding richness and beauty, and three or
four charmingly situated bungalows, homes of English residents ; but one
does not weary of watching the swarms of natives, and finds an unfailing
fund of amusement in their dress, manners and gestures. We sat in the
window of our hotel, looking out at the jugglers and tumblers, who crowded
about, hoping to pick up a few pence, laughing heartily at their often sur
prising tricks. As we lounged thus indolently on the couches, fanning our
selves, black men, in their bright turbans and gaudy disposed robes, came
and sat cross-legged before us, displaying jewels, silks and muslins to tempt
us to buy. We shook our heads, and they quietly packed up their goods,
and, with a respectful salutation, silently withdrew. At Singapore I tasted
of two new kinds of fruit : one of them, the mangostun, it is said, is the most
delicious in the world. It is round, like an apple, of a dark brown color, the
rind being hard, like the outer green covering of the walnut. Within this
is a fruit of a whiteness like snow. It is divided into six parts, like the divi
sions of an orange, and tastes not unlike snow-ice, flavored with lemon ; the
other is the champootane, resembling in color the brilliant berries which
grow upon the Estrelle mountains in Southern France. They are of all
shades of red, having on the rind pointed burs Uke a chestnut; within is a
white ball, pleasantly acid and refreshing.
We left Singapore on the 8th of March, passing through the Straits of
Malacca, on our way to the island of Penang, where we arrived on the llth,
and landing, spent there the greater part of one day. This island Is said to
be one of the most beautiful in the world, and for some time before we
came to anchor we descried its soft green undulations, and breathed an au-
made sweet by its groves of spice trees and million flowers. As the steamer
came to anchor some distance from the landing, we rowed to the shore in
the captain's boat. There we found any number of Garces— the conveyance
of the country— long hearse-like looking boxes on wheels, drawn by
diminutive but powerful ponies, the driver never mounting the box, but
keepmg up with the ponies, speed be what it may. We selected one of the
best of these carriages, and started on our drive through the island to a
waterfall for which Penang is celebrated. I can readily understand why
this island has acquired such a reputation for beauty. Groves of palms
rise tall and majestic on every side; trees are enwreathed with vines of
gorgeous colors, and the air is heavy with sweetness that is almost over
powering. We walked for quite a distance through groves of nutmeg
trees, and as we passed under their overhanging branches, plucked the fruit,
strippmg off its outer husk and eating the rmd-like mace with which the
nutmeg is surrounded. The close of this memorable day found us again on
board of the "Emeu," entering the Bay of Bengal, on our way to Point-de-
Galle, on the island of Ceylon. Our passage through the Bay of Bengal
was almost insufferable from the heat, the thermometer ranging from eighty
to nuiety on the deck and beneath double awnings kept constantly wet.
There are no European seamen on this route, the heat being too intense for

410 TROWBRIDGE FAMILY.
them, as the thermometer in the engine room frequently reaches an hundred
and twenty degrees. The sailors are Lascars, natives of India, and form a
most picturesque body of men, theu- scarlet and yellow turbans showing in
strong contrast to their dark skins.
We reached Point-de-Galle on the 15th, remaining there flve days. We
landed in the morning, and passed under a massive gateway into the town.
Here we had to run the gauntlet through crowds of natives, who, in the
gaudiest and scantiest of costumes, pressed upon us, offering for sale tortoise
shell articles, lace, and gay paroquets, whose discordant cries almost dis
tracted us. We elbowed our way through these obstacles up a long street
to the hotel, where we found something like quiet and English comfort.
Point-de-Galle is certainly a vei-y attractive place to the lover of tropical
scenery and vegetation. Groves of palm trees rise tall and dark against
the hot cloudless sky, here and there a plume like leaf inclined against the
deep blue, telling of what the mass of green is composed. For miles there is
a drive along the shore, dashed by the waves of the Indian Ocean, on one
side, and shaded by a dense line of palms on the other. During our stay
the weather was extremely hot, and I have never experienced anything like
the intensity of the sun beating up from the roads like the blast of a
furnace. Every morning, by flve o'clock, we were on the ramparts to catch
the cool morning breeze, and night fall found us there again on the grass
sloping down to the sea wall, watching the dash of the waves as they came
thundering along to break into foam wreaths on the rocks beneath us. We
left Ceylon on the 20th, on the steamer " Candia," whose arrival from
Bombay we had been awaiting. The flrst two days out from port were
unbearably hot, and the only way in which we could remain in any comfort
below for a sufficient time to procure our meals, was to sit beneath the
"pankahs" suspended above our heads, and which two stout Nubians
pulled, thus creating a faint current of air.
On the 27th we reached Aden, at the entrance of the Red Sea, a desolate
barren ledge of rocks connected "\\'ith the main land of Arabia. The heat
was so intense that we contented ourselves by looking at the shore from the
steamer's deck. The natives came out to us in boats, and were certainly
the most terrible looking specimens of humanity I had ever encountered.
They dye their woolly hair a flerce red color, and pile it up and pull it out
in a manner which renders their heads a gigantic size, contrasting strangely
with their dark skins. The day following our arrival at Aden, we were
again en route, and passing through the nai-row straits of Bab el Mandel,
entered the Red Sea, and on the 2d of April reached Suez, after an
extremely hot and uncomfortable passage. We remained two days at Suez,
which is a little more than a portion rescued from the wilderness. It is
situated on the conflnes of the Arabian and Egyptian deserts, and is the
lendezvous of the merchants of both nations. During our visit we went up
to see the excavations for the Suez canal. We were towed by camels up
the fresh wate# canal in a boat, comfortably cushioned and protected by
awnings. The camels, bearing Arab drivers, kept along at a brisk trot, and
the motion of the boat was rapid and agreeable. We were two hours
ascending the fresh water canal, when we left our boat and walked half a
mile, to the scene of the excavation, where there were hundreds of Arabs at

TROWBRIDGE FAMILY. 411
work. I had always supposed that the desert was composed of loose
drifting sand, and I had often heard it said that the experiment of the canal
was altogether impracticable, on account of the sand blowing in as quickly
as it was taken out. My surprise, therefore, was great when I saw the
laborers toiling with pickaxe and crowbar to loosen the marl, and beheld
each side of the excavation rise apparentl.y as hard and solid as stone. The
fragments which we picked up were some of them composed of crystals
and a substance like sun dried mud, others of pieces of sea shells and peb
bles, giving one the idea that the ocean must at one time have swept over
what is now a region of drought and desolation. The fresh water canal is
a blessing to Suez, as formerly all the water was brought on the backs of
camels, in skins, a distance of ninety mUes, and it is now abundant and
very good when filtered.
On Tuesday, the 5th, we left Suez, in the railway train for Cairo. The
time usually allowed for the journey is six hours, but we were twenty-one
in crossing the desert. We remained nine hours in one spot, flfteen trains be
fore us, and flve behind, and none but Arabs and incompetent Italian officials
to extricate us. Our delay was caused by the crowding of trains, fllled with
pilgrims on their way to Mecca, and -when morning broke we found some
consolation for our delay, in looking at the picturesque throngs of men and
women, who, like ourselves, were waiting to continue their journey. At
last, when we were almost exhausted from hunger and fatigue, the great
Pyramids loomed in sight, then the Mosques and Mmarets of Grand Cairo,
and gardens, most refreshingly green, to our eyes, after the desert sands. A
delay of an hour, from the throng in the station, seemed the culmination of
all our woes, after which we#scaped from the train, too tired to be glad.
We spent five days in Cauo, visiting all that was of interest which our limited
time permitted ; made an excursion to the Pyramids, saw the Sphynx, and
returned to the city, which was rendered most uncomfortable by the sirocco.
This wind continued to blow with suoh unparalleled violence that we sud
denly made up our minds to quit the land of Egypt, and turn our faces towards
Spam. Accordingly, we left Cau-o for Alexandria, by railway tram, and
found one of the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamships lymg in
port, but about to start on her homeward voyage. We were fortunate to
find accommodations on her, and saUed on the llth for Malta and Gibraltar.
The 15th we spent at Malta, where I renewed my impressions of the city of
Valetta and its surroundings, of which I had derived so many pleasant ones
from my visit in Januai-y, 1859.
On the morning of the 19th we reached Gibraltar, and left the " Ellora " to
begin a ta»r through Spain, which was, in every way, so delightful, that the
recoUection of it is the brightest of all my experiences of foreign travel. We
remained two days at Gibraltar, visiting its many pomts of interest, and thai
took the steamer for Cadiz; had a most agreeable passage through tffe
Straits. We spent a week in Cadiz, and then j oumeyed by Railway to SeviUe^
where five days proved quite insufficient for us to see aU that was of interest.
There is a charm over these Spanish cities, which arises from theii- close
connection with the history of the Moors, relics of whom one is constantly
encountering iu almost every remarkable buildmg and street of the older
cities of Spam. From SevUle we returned to Cadiz, and took the steamer

for Malaga, from whence, after a day, we started by dUigence for Granada.
We remained nearly two weeks in that city, spending most of our time in
an inn, within the grounds which surrounded the ruins of the Alhambra.
Of all my souvenirs of foreign travel, this of my visit to Granada is the
most satisfying. The usual disappointment, which seems inseparable from
a flrst sight of famous places, was not experienced here. All that we saw of
scenery and historical remains, gave us the most entire satisfaction and
pleasure, far exceeding our brightest anticipations. The season was the
best for a visit to Spain. Nature spread around us the freshest beauties of
the year, and our vivid recollections of the history, poetry and romance
which make Spain so attractive, and which threw over Granada such a
charm, enabled us to enjoy all that we saw to the fullest extent. Most
reluctantly we left this poetic region, and again started on our journey by
diligence, traversing the famous province of La Mancha en route for Madrid.
We found our stay in the Spanish capital all that we had hoped for, and
left Madrid at the end of May for Paris. On our way thither we visited
Burgos and passed two pleasant days at St. Sebastian, a Spanish watering
place on the Bay of Biscay. From thence we journeyed to Bayonne, and
remained there for a sufficient length of time to enable us to spend some
hours at Biaritz. On our way once more, we made a short stay at Bordeaux
and another at Tours, arriving at Paris early in June.
We spent the remainder of .that month and a part of July in the French
metropolis, then crossed the Channel to Southampton, where we found
much enjoyment in the society of English friends, and in making excursions
to the Isle of Wight and the interesting places in the environs. At the end
of July we sailed from Southampton in the steamer " Bremen," for New
York, where we arrived after a fifteen days' passage, during which we
encountered several magniflcent icebergs off Cape Race. I had been absent
a little more than eleven months, and during that time had journeyed
around the world, having attained, in fullest measure, the object for which
I left home, and my sister saw once more her native land after an absence
of six years.

Third visit to Europe.
My third visit to Europe was made in the winter of 1867. The last of
November I saUed from New York in the steamer " St. Laurent," with my
husband and two of my sisters, Henrietta and Jane. We landed at Havi-e,
and visited, once more, the delightful old city of Rouen, on our way to
Paris. We remained at Paris till the beginning of the new year, 1868, and
then, having made our plans for the winter, journeyed southward to Mar
seilles, stopping at Dijon, Lyons and Avignon. At MarseUles we embarked
on a French steamer, and in the captain I recognized the commander of the
steamer in which we sailed from Constantinople to Smyrna, in January,
1859. After a cold and stormy passage, we arrived at Civita Vecchia early
in January, and journeyed thence by railway to Rome, where we remained
two months. Our stay there was delightful in the highest degree, renewing,
as it did, so many recollections of bygone days, and of friends, some of

TROWBRIDGE FAMILY. 413
whom we should never meet again. Just before quitting Rome for Naples,
we were presented to Pope Piux IX., at the Vatican. We were veiy glad
of this opportunity of an interview with a Pontiff who wUl occupy so
prominent a place in the history of Italy and the Roman Catholic world.
We spent the month of March at Naples and its surroundings, reaching
there by railway, an innovation upon the slow but most agreeable mode of
travel which had been the rule during our former visit to Italy. Early in
April we returned to Rome, and journeyed thence, by railwaj^, to Florence,
where we remained a fortnight. From Florence we visited Pisa, and at
Spezzia took a carriage, and renewing our former deliglitf ul recollections of
Italian journeyings by this slow means, reached Genoa, where we were
detained by illness for three weeks. It was a singular coincidence that on our
visit to Genoa, in 1858, we had been detained there for a simUar cause, and
that we again employed the same physician who had been of such service
to us at that time. Early in May we left Genoa, taking the train for Turin,
and again crossing Mont Cenis, by carriage, from Suza, though under cir
cumstances quite different from those which made our passage in 1859
remarkable. Remaining at Chambery for a sufficient time to gain needful
repose, we took the train for Paris, breaking the long journey by a night at
Macon. Reaching Paris in the pleasantest season in which one can see the French
capital, we remained there till the close of the flrst week in June, and then
once more embarking on the " St. Laurent," reached New York, after a
passage of eleven days.
