Book excerpt: Excerpt from Great American Lawyers, Vol. 5: The Lives and Influence of Judges and Lawyers Who Have Acquired Permanent National Reputation, and Have Developed the Jurisprudence of the United States; A History of the Legal Profession in America He was determined to go to college, and both his parents encouraged him to do so. After a prepara tory school training of eight months, he entered the freshman class at Dartmouth eight months in ad vance, and graduated with honor in 1825. During his college course he supplied himself with funds for his expenses principally by teaching, and by mak ing and selling maple sugar in the spring of the year. He afterward commented upon the fun his fellow collegians made of the cowhide shoes he wore, and would say, They were good-natured fellows, though; if they had known my shoes were the best I could afford, they would not have spoken of them. He was admitted to the bar of Orleans County in 1827, and practiced at Derby eight years, the last three of which he was States Attorney of the county.
