XI IN CHURCH In church I generally pushed by my mother in order to sit at the "head of the pew." Adjoining ours a maiden lady sat, old to me, but not much over forty. She brought sprigs of dill and fennel seeds, one or two of which she invariably passed over to me. The nibbling of these spicy seeds would while away the dreary hour of the sermon, before I was old enough to take an interest in the discourse. If she had not the fennel that delightful old lady would unroll a corner of her big, red handkerchief, and disclose two or three red peppermints which she fed to me, one at a time, with long intervals between. She took snuff, tapping a shell box which I thought exceedingly pretty. Once I reached my hand over the separating partition and she allowed me to gratify my unspoken wish. I took a pretty fair pinch which made me sneeze terribly, upsetting mother's and Miss Ely's gravity for several minutes. For a few Sundays after that, I was denied my favorite seat. The choir was located in a gallery at the back of the church. When they sang, the congregation arose, turned around, faced the choir, and leaned comfortably against the backs of the front pews. After a time, it was suggested that it was treating the minister with disrespect to turn our backs upon him, and it was determined to stand facing front. Well I remember what a stir this innovation against a long-established custom made, and how, for many Sundays, the congregation was divided, some turning to face the choir, others facing the minister. And after the custom to face forward became well established, one man, noted for his independence of thought and action, continued to turn towards the choir and sing a heavy bass, while everyone looked on with mingled amusement and...

Book excerpt: In this riveting historical fiction narrative, National Book Award Finalist John Demos shares the story of a young Puritan girl and her life-changing experience with the Mohawk people. Inspired by Demos’s award-winning novel The Unredeemed Captive, Puritan Girl, Mohawk Girl will captivate a young audience, providing a Native American perspective rather than the Western one typically taught in the classroom. As the armed conflicts between the English colonies in North America and the French settlements raged in the 1700s, a young Puritan girl, Eunice Williams, is kidnapped by Mohawk people and taken to Canada. She is adopted into a new family, a new culture, and a new set of traditions that will define her life. As Eunice spends her days learning the Mohawk language and the roles of women and girls in the community, she gains a deeper understanding of her Mohawk family. Although her father and brother try to persuade Eunice to return to Massachusetts, she ultimately chooses to remain with her Mohawk family and settlement. Puritan Girl, Mohawk Girl offers a compelling and rich lesson that is sure to enchant young readers and those who want to deepen their understanding of Native American history.

Book excerpt: "We think it is not too much to say that this is the best volume of brief biographies of the past year. It contains short yet very graphic and informing life-sketches of seven eminent daughters of New England - seven of those fine, true lives that morally, even more than mentally, enriched civilization. Here we have an outline picture of the immense and civilization-wide work for humanity wrought by that noble, practicable and indefatigable toiler for humanity, Dorothea Lynde Dix - that angel of light to the insane of the world. And here is the story of that other moral heroine, Lydia Maria Child, who dared and did so much for the freedom of the black man, and whose broad thought contributed in no small degree to the more tolerant, charitable and reason-cultivating attitude of the American mind....Each life was victorious in the high sense of the word, because, from childhood till the evening shadows fell, the character in every instance gradually and splendidly unfolded into noble and still nobler proportions....Mr. Beach has succeeded in a far greater degree than most biographers in revealing the soul or the true personality of his subjects by faithful study of the life, the letters and utterances, and by seizing only those things that are germane to the life in hand. He has told his stories entertainingly and in such a manner as to bring the reader into the most intimate and sympathetic relations with his subjects. This is a rare gift which transforms biography from a dull, dry, and often profitless form of literature into something at once absorbingly interesting and of the highest possible value to the human mind. No one can read these lives without being renewed in spirit, and for young women we know of no works so instinct with spiritual virility or so potential for good as the 'Daughters of the Puritans.'" -The Arena "Characterized by a real interest of subject matter and a pleasantly unconventional manner of treatment....Catehine Maria Sedgwick, Mary Lowell Ware, Lydia Maria Child, Dorothea Lynde Dix, Margaret Fuller, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Louisa M. Alcott are the particular women about whom Mr. Beach has chosen to write. Of nearly every one of them an authoritative biography or memoir of some sort has been written, and one purpose of these essays is to call attention to the more elaborate studies and to stimulate interest in them. One of the interesting disclosures of these sketches, which are studies of personality rather than more formal and studied biography, is the picture of the early nineteenth century which they incidentally convey. Life was very simple in those far-off days, and literature, too, was simple and unsophisticated; but neither life nor literature ever lacked serious inspiration." -The Dial "Reminiscences of the emergence of these daughters of the Puritans from the Calvinism of their ancestors, and other notices of the literary and humanitarian movements in which they engaged, add a distinct historical interest to these biographies. The thoughtful reader instinctively feels that New England owes much of her greatness to the nobility of her women." -The Outlook "The delightful style of the author makes the reading of these biographical sketches a source of pleasure and profit." -Christian Register CONTENTS CATHARINE MARIA SEDGWICK (1789-1867) MARY LOVELL WARE (1798-1849) LYDIA MARIA CHILD (1802-1880) DOROTHEA LYNDE DIX (1802-1887) SARAH MARGARET FULLER OSSOLI (1810-1850) HARRIET BEECHER STOWE (1811-1896) LOUISA MAY ALCOTT (1832-1888)
