Born in New York City on 1 August 1819, hehad enjoyed a comfortable boyhood, but reverses in his father's business duringHerman's adolescence had forced the family to relocate to Albany, where hisfather fared no better. Overambitious schemes and overextended credit tooktheir toll. He died a broken man, leaving his wife Maria and their seven childrento fend for themselves. Herman was twelve. His teenage brother Ganesvoortwent into business upon their father's death and proved successful until theDepression of 1837 drove him into bankruptcy. To help the family, Hermanhad left Albany a few months before Thanksgiving this year to teach school inrural Massachusetts.
