The Village Blacksmith

Henry W. Longfellow

Under a spreading chestnut-tree

The village smithy stands;

The smith, a mighty man is he,

With large and sinewy hands;

And the muscles of his brawny arms

Are strong as iron bands.

His hair is crisp, and black, and long,

His face is like the tan;

His brow is wet with honest sweat,

He earns whate'er he can,

And looks the whole world in the face,

For he owes not any man.

Week in, week out, from morn till night,

You can hear his bellows blow;

You can hear him swing his heavy sledge,

With measured beat and slow,

Like a sexton ringing the village bell,

When the evening sun is low.

And children coming home from school

Look in at the open door;

They love to see the flaming forge,

And hear the bellows roar,

And catch the burning sparks that fly

Like chaff from a threshing-floor.

He goes on Sunday to the church,

And sits among his boys;

He hears the parson pray and preach,

He hears his daughter's voice,

Singing in the village choir,

And it makes his heart rejoice.

It sounds to him like her mother's voice,

Singing in Paradise!

He needs must think of her once more,

How in the grave she lies;

And with his haul, rough hand he wipes

A tear out of his eyes.

Toiling,--rejoicing,--sorrowing,

Onward through life he goes;

Each morning sees some task begin,

Each evening sees it close

Something attempted, something done,

Has earned a night's repose.

Thanks, thanks to thee, my worthy friend,

For the lesson thou hast taught!

Thus at the flaming forge of life

Our fortunes must be wrought;

Thus on its sounding anvil shaped

Each burning deed and thought.

Colorado Climate:

http://ccc.atmos.colostate.edu/climateofcolorado.php

compare that to Nashville, Tn: (Lat/Lon: 36.17°N 86.78°W)

Nashville has a moderate climate with hot summers and cold winters. An ample annual rainfall keeps things green and clean, but there are enough sunny days in between to keep everyone happy. Summers can be very humid, which pushes up the discomfort index even if temperatures do not hit major highs.

http://www.littletongov.org/history/biographies/moody.asp

in 1858, gold was discovered in a creek near present-day Denver and the rush was on! By early spring of 1869, thousands of fortune hunters flooded across the plains. Most went home empty handed, but the hardy ones pushed on into the Rocky Mountains and some of them established fortunes. Over the next half century, millions upon millions of dollars worth of gold and silver were taken from mines in legendary places such as Central City, Cripple Creek, Georgetown, Leadville, Creed, and Telluride.

colorado is the ROCKY MOUNTAINS--they run through the state, not only forming the Continental Divide but creating some of the most remarkable scenery in the world.

Amos Fortune...Freeman

Amos and Violet's tombstones

Written on Amos' tombstone:

"to the memory of Amos Fortune, who was born free in Africa, a slave in America, he purchased liberty, professed Christianity, lived reputably, and died hopefully"

The book we read on Amos Fortune is fictional history. Not much is known about his early life other than he was a slave from Africa. The families mentioned that he lived with were real people. Amos did become a free man at the age of 60 and lived as a tanner in Jaffrey. He bought and married Violate and they adopted Celyndia. The 25 acres that he bought still has his house and barn. Look at the Google map below. Move the hand around to locate "Amos Fortune Rd.," which is located in Jaffrey, New Hampshire (do you remember where the state New Hampshire is?). Even though all the details of the book are not completely true, I think from what we do know to be true, Amos Fortune lived an amazing life.

Here is a link to a page with pictures of Mount Monadnock. This was the view that Amos Fortune saw in Jaffrey, New Hamshire. http://www.new-hampshire.net/monad.htm

Amos Fortune...Tanner

Amos Fortune was a tanner. We read that he needs access to trees so he can use the bark to tan the hides that he sells. Lets do a little research into how that process works. http://braintan.com/barktan/1basics.htm

This is another method that can be used...

That was a LOT of WORK!!! No wonder leather can be so expensive. Do think that Amos did a good job? What part of the story helps you answer this question?
