Why is it that the members of a few families sprouted so many useful and famous careers, such as the Jameses, the Adamses, the Holmeses. And the Beechers. Is it a peculiar gene?

When the father Lyman Beecher retired at age 75, with the intention of sitting down to write his autobiography, he found that memories slipped away from him. His keen mind was gone, and daughters Harriet Beecher Stowe and Catharine prompted him into conversations of his early days. They also added their own reminiscences and drew on the family round robin letters; Edward Beecher supplied materials, and so did the rest of the eleven Beecher children. Charles was finally designated editor, and when the two volumes of the Autobiography of Lyman Beecher was finally published, it was the chronicle of a remarkable family whose ideas and actions helped shape the country that we live in today. That material is the basis for what you will hear today.

ISABEL : Well, grandmother, you have the satisfaction of knowing you have always done more than your share to relieve it. ISABELLA : That’s the point.
