Excerpt from A Story About a Little Good Boy: How He Became a Great Man and Had Little Good Boys of His Own Ninety-six years ago this story was written in the city of Philadelphia for some little boys in Portland, Maine. The story is autobiographical. Through its unconscious revelation we learn how Peleg Wadsworth, its writer, grew up to be a man of heart and courage and charming personality. In the story, we know him more particularly as the "Little Good Boys," devoted and admonishing Papa. In his private history, we know him as a graduate of Harvard College, a soldier of the Revolution, a member of Congress, and an honored and beloved citizen of Portland, where he built a house, spoken of at the present time as the "Wadsworth-Longfellow House," whose rooms, the favorite shrine to-day of pilgrims passing through the town, are filled with treasures of a bygone age, and overflow with dear memories and old associations.
