"Daniel Webster" by Henry Cabot Lodge is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This biography delves into the life and contributions of Daniel Webster, an influential American statesman, from his early childhood in New Hampshire through his prominent political career. The book likely aims to provide insights into Webster's character, his formidable oratory skills, and his impact on American history and politics. At the start of the book, Lodge introduces the environment in which Daniel Webster grew up, illustrating the harsh conditions faced by settlers in New Hampshire amid frequent conflicts with Native Americans and the challenges posed by the unforgiving landscape. The narrative captures the formative experiences of Webster's father, Ebenezer, a soldier and farmer, who instilled in his children the values of hard work and perseverance. As the opening unfolds, it focuses on Daniel's early life, detailing his delicate health, his thirst for knowledge through reading, and the gradual encouragement he received from his family to pursue education. The opening establishes a firm foundation for understanding how these early experiences shaped Webster into a powerful advocate and later a key political figure in American history.
