Henry Powers, (banker.): How He Achieved A Fortune, And Married. A Novel
Richard Burleigh Kimball
G. W. Carleton & Co., 1868
Richard Burleigh Kimball was an American author and lawyer. He was engaged in the law practice from 1840 to 1860 and in the early 1860s he turned his career to writing the novels.
Background
Richard Burleigh Kimball, the son of Richard and Mary (Marsh) Kimball, was born on October 11, 1816 in Plainfield, Sullivan County, New Hampshire, United States, the youngest of four children. His paternal and maternal ancestors were identified with many of the pioneer improvements in New England. He was seventh in descent from Richard Kimball, of Suffolk County, England, who landed at Boston in 1634. He passed his early childhood in Lebanon, New Hampshire, where the Kimballs had settled in 1802.
Education
At the age of eleven Kimball passed his examination for admission to Dartmouth College, but because of his youth, the college authorities refused to accept him until two years later. He was graduated from Dartmouth in 1834 at the age of seventeen, with the degree of Bachelor of Arts, one of the first six in his class and a member of Phi Beta Kappa. After leaving Dartmouth he studied law and was admitted to the bar in Waterford, New York in 1836. In that year he went to Paris to continue his studies. On his return he began to practice at Waterford under the patronage of William A. Beach. He had read law with Judge Doe, of Waterford, and the elder Dupin, of Paris, France. Shortly before he attained his majority he was made a master in chancery.
Career
In 1840 Kimball went to New York City to enter the office of his brother, Elijah H. Kimball, at 30 Wall Street. Some months later he opened an office of his own and continued in active practice until 1854. Possessing much of the pioneer instinct of his ancestors he became interested in the Southwest and early in the fifties founded the town of Kimball, Texas. He also built part of the first railroad in that state. Known as the Galveston, Houston & Henderson Railroad, it ran from Galveston to Houston and beyond. He served as its president from 1854 to 1860.
After Kimball relinquished the practice of law, he devoted much of his time to literature, becoming an author of established reputation in his day. For the most part his writings were the result of his experiences in travel and in business, and in the course of his journeys he became acquainted with many of the prominent authors and statesmen of the nineteenth century. He knew Dickens intimately and had met Lamartine, Thackeray, Lord Palmerston, and the elder Peel, and among prominent Americans knew Washington Irving, Webster, and Clay. His brief sketches of these men appeared in the New York Times during the last two years of his life.
He became a constant contributor to the old Knickerbocker magazine, in which appeared, in 1849-1850, his metaphysical novel, "St. Leger; or, The Threads of Life. " This was his first literary work to attract attention and was immediately translated into the French and Dutch languages. He edited and published In the Tropics (1863), and The Prince of Kashua (1866), a West Indian story. Many of his books have been translated into Dutch, French, and German, and some were published in both London and Leipzig.
Achievements
Kimbal was well-known mainly for his literary works such as "Undercurrents of Wall Street" (1862); "Was He Successful?" (1864); "Henry Powers, Banker" (1868), and "To-Day in New York" (1870). They were one of his first New York novels depicting American wealth and business affairs.
