To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It may be of sufficient interest to the reader to warrant the lengthening of the story to mention sev- eral of the individual members of our old band, men, who later served their country in its military bands during the Civil War. The older generations of the town will remember that all of the Hodgdons were accomplished musicians, John being especially so. His reputation as a thorough musician, and especially his well known ability and efficiency as a bandmaster, was such that the Gov- ernment,... immediately after his enl'istment, assigned him to the leadership of the band stationed at the HAROLD F. BLAKE. 75 Portsmouth Navy Yard. Later it transferred him to Washington, where he was made bandmaster of the band now known throughout the world as the Marine Band. Amos Rowell was, by request of Mr. Hodg- don, assigned first to Portsmouth and then to Wash- ington, and played under Hodgdon, and under his instruction became the premier cornet soloist of the even then celebrated band. Parenthetically, I may say again that this band, under the leadership of Hodgdon, furnished the mu- sic at the Soldiers ' Home in Washington during the summers of war time because of the fact that Presi- dent Lincoln and his family occupied a cottage there during that period of the year.
