Excerpt from The Reminiscences of Augustus Saint-Gaudens, Vol. 2 He remained with me five years before he went to Paris. But he returned again when subsequently I asked him to come back and help me for a year or less on the fountain which I was commissioned to do at the same time as the Lincoln. I was much behind in my work and, Since I needed somebody who could aid me with skill and rapidity, I could think of no one better.

He went to Europe im mediately after that, and I did not see him again until the Chicago Exposition. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
