Autorenporträt
Josiah Gilbert Holland was an American author and poet who lived from July 24, 1819, to October 12, 1881. He wrote under the name Timothy Titcomb. He helped start Scribner's Monthly, which later became Century Magazine, and was its editor. His books, Arthur Bonnicastle, The Story of Sevenoaks, and Nicholas Minturn were published in it. "Bitter-Sweet" (1858), "Kathrina," the words to the Methodist song "There's a Song in the Air," and many other poems were written by him. Holland was born on July 24, 1819, in the village of Dwight in Belchertown, Massachusetts. He grew up in a poor family that had a hard time making ends meet. The low-slung family farmhouse in Dwight was his home for only a few years. He joked afterward that he'd like to "burn it to the ground." He was the sixth kid and the youngest of six. His parents were very religious and came from a Puritan family. His father, a failed engineer known as a "migratory ne'er-do-well," moved the family every year or two. They lived in Heath, Belchertown, South Hadley, Granby, and Northampton. Josiah had to work in a plant for a while to help support his family. After that, he went to Northampton (Massachusetts) High School for a short time to study before dropping out because he was sick. After that, he went to Berkshire Medical College to study medicine and graduated in 1844.
