Simms, MHamann, Chuck Greif and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Life of Albert Gallatin" by Henry Adams is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work chronicles the life of Albert Gallatin, a significant yet often overlooked figure in American history, delving into his family background and early years in Geneva. Through an extensive analysis of Gallatin's contributions, particularly in finance and diplomacy, the book aims to provide a deeper understanding of his influence on the young United States. At the start of the narrative, the author outlines Gallatin's aristocratic lineage and the prominent role his family played in the political and social fabric of Geneva. The text details the family's historical significance, tracing their lineage back to ancient Rome while highlighting their integration into Genevan society, especially during the Reformation. As the story progresses, it offers insights into Gallatin's upbringing, his education, and the pivotal moments that shaped his character, including his decision to emigrate to America at the young age of nineteen, driven by both ambition and a desire for independence. This opening lays the groundwork for understanding how Gallatin evolved into a key player in American history.
