My nephew dug up this, from the obituary for my Great Great Grandfather: “Horce J. Ludlow was a dreamer, a philosopher and a sage. But he was, at the same time, a tireless worker, with whom to dream, philosophize and ponder upon the eternal verities was simultaneously to conceive ways and means to put dream into action and practical realities.” Who knew? I thought he was a Minnesota farmer and sewing machine salesman. He would have been a contemporary of William James. American Pragmatism must have been in the zeitgeist.
