E. P. Roe: Reminiscences of his Life

A warm portrait unfolds as his sister guides listeners through the tender world of their shared childhood. Set against a sprawling Hudson valley home, the narrative captures mischievous climbs, hidden strawberry hunts, and the gentle care of a devoted housekeeper who shaped the brothers’ early sense of loyalty and wonder. Through vivid recollections of bright gardens, babbling brooks, and the quiet bond between siblings, listeners glimpse the roots of a mind that would later turn to writing and ministry.

The memoir then moves beyond those idyllic hills, tracing his path from college student to chaplain, and the profound moments that defined his adult life—his first love, the challenges of war‑time service, and the quiet joys of family and faith. Interwoven with personal letters and contemporary observations, the volume offers an intimate glimpse of a 19th‑century author who drew inspiration from the very landscapes and relationships that shaped his soul.
