Henry F. French
[1] He received his general education at Pinkerton Academy in Derry and then at Pembroke, and after that at Hingham, Massachusetts.Three years after Anne Richardson's death, on September 29, 1859, he married Pamela Mellen Prentice, (1821–1895).In 1876 he was appointed by President Grant as 2nd assistant secretary of the United States Treasury, where he served until 1885.Although he only published one full book, French was a very prolific writer and wrote hundreds of articles for a number of agricultural journals: In the span of nearly 20 years Henry F. French wrote over 120 articles for the New England Farmer, a paper operated by his brother-in-law, Simon Brown, which circulated around New England and much of the Northeast United States, with letters from readers as far away as Maryland.The subjects of these articles were diverse, with many having strictly practical advice, while others being more humanitarian and philosophical in nature.
