The Romantic Period, 1820-1860: Essayists and Poets: Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809-1894)
Index Oliver Wendell Holmes, a celebrated physician and professor of anatomy and physiology at Harvard, is the hardest of the three well-known Brahmins to categorize because his work is marked by a refreshing versatility. It encompasses collections of humorous essays (for example, The Autocrat of the Breakfast-Table , 1858), novels ( Elsie Venner , 1861), biographies ( Ralph Waldo Emerson , 1885), and verse that could be sprightly ("The Deacon's Masterpiece, or, The Wonderful One-Hoss Shay"), philosophical ("The Chambered Nautilus"), or fervently patriotic ("Old Ironsides"). Born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the suburb of Boston that is home to Harvard, Holmes was the son of a prominent local minister. His mother was a descendant of the poet Anne Bradstreet. In his time, and more so thereafter, he symbolized wit, intelligence, and charm not as a discoverer or a trailblazer, but rather as an exemplary interpreter of everything from society and language to medicine and human nature.
Holmes was the father of Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr

. . . ." The Wonderful One-Hoss Shay " is a perfectly intelligible conception, whatever material difficulties it presents. It is conceivable that a being of an order superior to humanity should so understand the conditions of matter that he could construct a machine which should go to pieces, if not into its constituent atoms, at a given moment of the future. The mind may take a certain pleasure in this picture of the impossible. The event follows as a logical consequence of the presupposed condition of things. There is a practical lesson to be got out of the story. Observation shows us in what point any particular mechanism is most likely to give way. In a wagon, for instance, the weak point is where the axle enters the hub or nave. When the wagon breaks down, three times out of four, I think, it is at this point that the accident occurs. The workman should see to it that this part should never give way; then find the next vulnerable place, and so on, until he arrives logically at the perfect result attained by the deacon The localities referred to are those with which I am familiar in my drives about Essex County O. W. H.

Supreme Court Justice "The Magnificent Yankee" is the title of a 1950 Hollywood movie about Holmes. The term "Yankee" grates in the ears of this Red Sox fan. Link here to read Bob Dame's article on Oliver Wendell Holmes, "The Man Who Was Touched With Fire" , published in the March 2001 issue of "America's Civil War" magazine The most famous Harvard man of the Twentieth Massachusetts Infantry Regiment , Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., was a towering figure in American jurisprudence, and one of the Twentieth Century's most influential public figures. Holmes the soldier served with distinction, surviving three wounds and rising to the rank of Captain in the Twentieth Massachusetts Infantry . He later served as Brevet Colonel and aide-de-camp on the staff of Sixth Corps General Horatio Wright. Holmes is of course better known as "The Great Dissenter". For thirty years, from 1902 to 1932, Holmes' brilliant intellect held sway over the US Supreme Court, and immeasurably influenced the American legal system. According to no less an authority than The Honorable Richard Posner, present day Chief Federal Judge of the Seventh Circuit, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. was "the most illustrious figure in the history of American law". (Take that, Johnnie Cochran!)

    Associate Justice, U.S. Supreme Court Born in Massachusetts, he was a Civil War veteran who was wounded three times in battle and who met President Abraham Lincoln on one of the President's visits to the front. He taught law at Harvard, sat on the Massachusetts Supreme Court for twenty years and served for thirty years on the United States Supreme Court, where he helped President Franklin D. Roosevelt select his own successor. An interesting fact is that he had ben appointed to the Court by President Theodore Roosevelt, who was disappointed in many of his decisions. He was known on the Court as "The Great Dissenter" because of the brilliant legal reasoning found in his written opinions. He retired from the Court on January 12, 1932 and was the oldest man to have ever served on the court. He died in Washington, D. C. on March 6, 1935 and was buried in Section 5 of Arlington National Cemetery. His wife, Fannie Bowditch Dixwell Holmes (December 1840-April 1929), whose burial was arranged by Chief Justice William Howard Taft because Holmes was too shy to ask for the honor, is buried with him.

    Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
    American Jurist Young man, the secret of my success is that
    at an early age I discovered that I was not God.
    Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
    was born on March 8, 1841 in Boston, Massachusetts, and was named for his famous father, the writer and physician. His keen intellect, humor, and ability to express himself helped Holmes direct American thought as a member of the United States Supreme Court for over 30 years. At the end of his service in the American Civil War Holmes entered Harvard Law School. Early in his career he became co-editor of the "American Law Review," a commercial legal periodical, and wrote his great work "The Common-Law" in 1881. In 1882 Holmes became professor of law at Harvard, and was appointed to the Massachusetts Supreme Court in 1899. President Theodore Roosevelt appointed Holmes to the United States Supreme Court in 1902. A cornerstone of Holmes's judicial philosophy was his opinion that, "The life of the law has not been logic, but experience." He insisted that the court look at the facts in a changing society, instead of clinging to worn-out slogans and formulas. Holmes convinced people that the law should develop along with the society it serves. He exercised a deep influence on the law through his support of the doctrine of "judicial restraint" which urged judges to avoid letting their personal opinions affect their decisions.

    Correspondence between Robert E. Lee and his Massachusetts relative William R. Lee. Also includes accounts of the battle of seven pinesFair Oaks, and an oliver wendell holmes tribute.
    http://www.med.virginia.edu/~mmd5f/humane.html
    "Humane and Generous Enemy" Correspondence from Robert E. Lee to William R. Lee, dated July 19, 1862 Gen. Robert E. Lee, Army of Northern Virginia Col. William R. Lee, commanding 20th Mass. There were two "Lees" who enrolled at West Point in 1825: Robert E. Lee of Virginia, and William R. Lee of Massachusetts (they were distant relatives). Only the "Southern Lee" graduated four years later with the Class of 1829. During the Civil War, the "Northern Lee" (William R. Lee) won respect for his early command of the famous "Harvard Regiment", but did not rise any further in the ranks. Needless to say, his Southern namesake became a household name and legend. The two acquaintances nonetheless did have much in common. Both of these bearded patricians were West Pointers and Mexican War veterans, and both (in their fifties) were criticized as being too old to command (in William R. Lee's case, the charge had some validity). Both men also shared a great respect for the valor of their opponents. They crossed paths in 1862. During the intense fighting of the Peninsula Campaign in May and June of 1862, the 20th Massachusetts was engaged heavily, meeting the enemy on May 31, 1862 at the battle known as "Fair Oaks" or "Seven Pines".

    Homeopathy and Its Kindred Delusions
    Oliver Wendell Holmes
    This essay were presented as two lectures to the Boston Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge in 1842 and was reproduced in Examining Holistic Medicine (Prometheus Books, 1985). The author achieved prominence as a physician, poet, and humorist. His son, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., became a justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. It is necessary, for the sake of those to whom the whole subject may be new, to give in the smallest possible compass the substance of the Homeopathic Doctrine. Samuel Hahnemann, its founder, is a German physician, now living in Paris, at the age of eighty-seven years. In 1796 he published the first paper containing his peculiar notions; in 1805 his first work on the subject; in 1810 his somewhat famous "Organon of the Healing Art;" the next year what he called the "Pure Materia Medica;" and in 1828 his last work, the "Treatise on Chronic Diseases." He has therefore been writing at intervals on his favorite subject for nearly half a century. [Hahnemann died in 1843.] The one great doctrine which constitutes the basis of Homeopathy as a system is expressed by the Latin aphorism
