Samuel Whitcomb, Jr. : ウィキペディア英語版 | Samuel Whitcomb, Jr.
Samuel Whitcomb, Jr., (September 14, 1792 – March 5, 1879) was a colporteur, journalist and a champion of the working class, public schools and democratic political values. ==Biographical Note== Whitcomb was born in Hanover, Massachusetts. As an adult, he moved across the early United States more commonly than most people of his time. He served in the War of 1812. In 1817 he married Mary Simmons Joy. He held several jobs and careers that included book, peddling, landowner, clerk, and journalist. It was his business of selling books’ subscriptions that allowed him to travel the country extensively, giving him opportunities to purchase land at bargaining prices, gather a unique knowledge of the common U.S. people, and to meet interesting and prominent people, including President Thomas Jefferson.
