1800. It was a time when men worked for a dollar a day in zero or below temperatures to cut ice blocks to fill the eleven large ice houses in Athens.  They rode horses or took a stagecoach.  It was a time when children had one pair of shoes and were lucky to attend school.  Still, it is an age looked back on with nostalgia as a simpler time.  It was during this golden age that a studious young boy named Daniel Redfield Evarts was being brought up in modest circumstances.  He came from a large family and had no free access to books.  The local Dutch Reformed minister gave him some books and a small room with light in which he could study.
