Pages : 32
Book Description
In his account book, Andrew Hunter wrote: "Andrew Hunter is my name and for to write I think no shame at turmoil July 4th 1761 year of God. Andrew Hunter with my hand." He was born and raised in Glencairn, Dumfries, Scotland, the second son of Robert Hunter and Agnes Coltart. Hunter grew up during the Scottish Enlightenment which was characterized by a growing number of scientific and intellectual accomplishments. By the age of 33, Andrew Hunter married Janet Amos of Moffat and they would have seven children who were all born in Glencairn Parish. Hunter worked as a building contractor on various estates including Crawfordton and in Wanlockhead and Leadhills. He also worked for numerous individuals in the surrounding parishes. According to his detailed account book this work began in 1757 and lasted until 1786. Interestingly, the last entry in his book was his own cure for fever. He eventually relocated to Penpont Parish where he worked showing potential tenants around various properties that were available to rent. This shows that Andrew Hunter was widely respected by the land owners and others in his community to be entrusted with this position. This then is the narrative of the life and times of Andrew Hunter.

Every Root an Anchor
Author: R. Bruce Allison
Publisher: Wisconsin Historical Society
ISBN: 0870203703
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
In Every Root an Anchor, writer and arborist R. Bruce Allison celebrates Wisconsin's most significant, unusual, and historic trees. More than one hundred tales introduce us to trees across the state, some remarkable for their size or age, others for their intriguing histories. From magnificent elms to beloved pines to Frank Lloyd Wright's oaks, these trees are woven into our history, contributing to our sense of place. They are anchors for time-honored customs, manifestations of our ideals, and reminders of our lives' most significant events. For this updated edition, Allison revisits the trees' histories and tells us which of these unique landmarks are still standing. He sets forth an environmental message as well, reminding us to recognize our connectedness to trees and to manage our tree resources wisely. As early Wisconsin conservationist Increase Lapham said, "Tree histories increase our love of home and improve our hearts. They deserve to be told and remembered."
