Francis Hopkinson Smith, noted as an engineer, artist, and storyteller,
was born in Baltimore, Maryland, on October 23, 1838. He was the son of
Francis and Susan (Teackle) Smith, and great-grandson of Francis
Hopkinson, an artist-poet-musician and one of the signers of the
Declaration of Independence.
Francis' father, who was to
appear later as a character in the semi- autobiographical novel, 'The
Fortunes of Oliver Horn', seems to have been a man of unusual gifts: a
mathematician (showing 500 of 10862 characters). |
