Jacob Snider

Jacob Snider (January 1, 1811 – October 25, 1866) was an American wine merchant and inventor. He co-invented and patented a method of converting existing muzzle-loading rifles into breech-loading rifles, notably the Snider-Enfield. Originally from Montgomery, Georgia, Snider later moved to Philadelphia, but died in poverty in Kilburn, London, England while attempting to recover promised compensation from the British government. He was survived by his wife Angelina and several sons, and is buried in Kensal Green Cemetery, London.Snider worked for the Pennsylvania Institute for the Blind, and in 1833, he produced the first raised print book in the United States. His method, which involved carving the letters into a sheet of copper by hand, was soon abandoned. more »

I see a girl dancing in lilacs
A roar from the forest
She spins without footsteps
Over the field
Rhythmic and wild
Thin lines arrive around her eyes when she smiles
By the river
In the fading light
She hears the surrender
Of summer's fight
I'm a ghost with a voice
I am the paper boy
I circle this town
Throwing the obvious
While you all run around
I see the stores
I see the houses
Lining the road
Like steps in fine gravel
Over the field
Rhythmic and wild
Thin lines arrive around her eyes when she smiles
By the river
In the fading light
She hears the surrender
Of summer's fight
I'm a ghost with a voice
I am the paper boy
I circle this town
Throwing the obvious
While you all run around
But in due time
I just might
Cross her mind
But if I don't
I won't cry
Cause I tried
I'm a ghost with a voice
I am the paper boy
I circle this town
Throwing the obvious
While you all run around
I'm a ghost with a voice
I am the paper boy
I circle this town
Throwing the obvious
While you all run around
