Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This post Civil War diary describes the experience of two young white women from Massachusetts, who sign up with the Freedmen's Bureau to teach school to newly freed slaves on Edisto Island in South Carolina-one month after General Lee surrendered to General Grant at Appomattox. Mary Ames relates living among a thousand black Americans during a unique but brief period before the US Government pardoned the former Confederates and relinquished land control back to white gentlemen plantation owners. The freed slaves hungered for the learning Mary and friend Emily Bliss provided. Sharing food and clothing, the women set up a school with nothing but two chairs; listened to their new friends relate the trials of slavery, and taught how whites could live among blacks as sisters. The text is transcribed from the 1906 publication archived by the Massachusetts Historical Society.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A genealogical search for Mary Ames Mitchell's British ancestors grows into a family saga and spiritual journey. Growing up, Mary often wondered about Eileen, the mysterious English grandmother who died in Great Britain long before Mary's birth in California. Mary had only known her step-grandmother, whose jealous and manipulative presence nearly obliterated the memory of her predecessor. Mary's quiet and usually preoccupied grandfather, Pryns Hopkins, remained spellbound by his second wife until his death and appeared to deny Eileen's existence as well. As a young adult, Mary uncovered a scrapbook and learned Pryns secretly archived treasured keepsakes and love poems from Eileen. However, Mary's mother, haunted by childhood secrets, learned about the scrapbook and had it destroyed. Forty years later, Mary suspects that a key to breaking through her mother's crusty shell lies in Eileen. So she embarks on a search through family records, library archives, English graveyards and personal journals that takes six years. 'The Search for My Abandoned Grandmother' weaves Mary's compelling genealogical detective story with her grandfather's personal narrative of his life with his first wife, revealing a moving love story with political, sociological and personal resonance that spanned from 1921 to 1933. With generosity and tenderness, Mary Ames Mitchell unravels spiritual insights and truths about social obligation, personal integrity and family love. …

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Colonel Henry Knox forms an expedition to transport sixty tons of brass and iron weaponry from Fort Ticonderoga (where they had been left behind by the British) down the Hudson River, over the Berkshire hills, and across today's Massachusetts to Dorchester Heights overlooking Boston. Some historians consider this to be one of the most stupendous logistical feats of the American Revolution. Author Mary Ames Mitchell, a former elementary school teacher and a descendant of Henry Knox, wrote this story as a sing-along-ballad to appeal to her preschool grandchildren. Mitchell, Mary Ames (illustrator).…
