Sherwin (Edmund Phelps Sherwin). Shepard writes that Sherwin has been a member of "our Academy," presumably Sanderson Academy in Ashfield, and of the Congregational Church in Buckland, Massachusetts. Shepard recommends Sherwin as a young man of irreproachable character. Shepard goes on to say that should Sherwin's literary requirements be approved, he will make a respectable member of their Institution. Shepard addresses the letter specifically to Gamaliel S. Olds, a professor, and notes Sherwin as the bearer of the letter. Thomas Shepard letter to the faculty of the Collegiate Institution, 1823 August 20 Eathan [sic] F. Allen and his family Nelson, Arthur W., 1880-1958 This book by Arthur Nelson is richly illustrated with color drawings depicting events from the life of Ethan Allen, the Nelson brothers' imaginary hero who is modelled roughly on the historical figure and who appears throughout their writings. This book introduces the reader to Ethan's wife, Mary Allen; their ten year old son, Jimmy Allen; and their nine year old daughter, Alice Allen. The story tells of battles fought as Ethan Allen rises to the presidency of Big Continent, one of the primary locations in the Nelson boys' imaginary world. The details of this imaginary world are surprisingly consistent across the many works written by the Nelson brothers, and in this story Arthur Nelson carefully refers the reader to a specific page number in another work where additional detail can be found.
