PALMER, ERASTUS DOW (1817-1904) , American sculptor, was born at Pompey, New

 , on the 2nd of April 1817. In his leisure moments as a carpenter he started by carving portraits in cameo, and then began to model in clay with much success. Among his works are: " The White Captive " (1858) in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New
