Edward Rowland Sill was born April 29, 1841 in Windsor, Connecticut to Dr. Theodore Sill and Elizabeth Newberry Rowland Sill. At the age of 13 both his parents had died, leaving him to be raised by relatives. At the age of 17 he entered Yale College. Here the love for poetry he had inherited from his mother grew and by the time he graduated at the age of 21 still undecided about his future he decided to travel. We learn of his travels from the journal he kept. He married his uncle's daughter Elizabeth Newbury Sill. He spent his life writing poetry and teaching. From 1871 to 1883 he taught English at Oakland, California and the University of California at Berkley. He died Feb. 27,1887. His many friends mourned the loss of this man whom they considered the fittest to carry forward the torch of poetry. Family ancestor names include Walcott, Grant, Edwards, Ellsworth, Rowland, Allyn, Ware and others.

What Makes a Man, a Man? For centuries, being a man meant living a life of virtue and excellence. But then, through time, the art of manliness was lost. Now, after decades of excess and aimless drift, men are looking for something to help them live an authentic, manly life--a primer that can give their life real direction and purpose. This book holds the answers. To master the art of manliness, a man must live the seven manly virtues: Manliness, Courage, Industry, Resolution, Self-Reliance, Discipline, Honor. Each chapter covers one of the seven virtues and is packed with the best classic advice ever written down for men. From the philosophy of Aristotle to the speeches and essays of Theodore Roosevelt, these pages contain the manly wisdom of the ages--poems, quotes, and essays that will inspire you to live life to the fullest and realize your complete potential. Learn the art. Change your life. Become a man.
