Votes:0 "... I HAVE BEEN the mother of seven children, the most beautiful and most loved of whom lies buried near my Cincinnati residence. It was at his dying bed and at his grave that I learned what a poor slave mother may feel when her child is torn away from her. In those depths of sorrow which seemed to me immeasurable, it was my only prayer to God that such anguish might not be suffered in vain. There were circumstances about his death of such peculiar bitterness, of what seemed almost cruel suffering that I felt I could never be consoled for it unless this crushing of my own heart might enable me to work out some great good to others. I allude to this here because I have often felt that much that is in that book had its root in the awful scenes and bitter sorrow of that summer. It has left n Read More Go to Site

Votes:0 Containing A Brief Sketch Of The Life Of Maria Louise Pool, By Dr. Amand M. Hale Published in 1899. Roweny in Boston - An excerpt from that
novel "Tenting at Stony Beach" - The
complete novel. It is always pleasant to dwell upon a literary career,
unpretentious, not stimulated by greed, nor coddled by fulsome
flatteries, - a career so simple, so sincere, so honest, so generous,
as that of Maria Louise Pool. Her life began in the little
Massachusetts town of Rockland, within ten
miles of the coast, when the century was but little more than
two-score years old, and ended there last May, just when her fame was
close upon its culmination and her power had developed by the slow
growth of years. Fifty-six years ago New England was, really, what the aggressive
West sometimes calls it to-day, prov Read More Go to Site
Votes:0 This image of "Sir Boss" from the original edition of Connecticut Yankee is used with the kind permission of the University of Virginia. If Mark Twain were alive today, he'd probably be publishing interactive novels on the Web and charging us a fee to read them. Like many people of his time, Twain embraced new technological developments and saw them as a measure of human potential. He wrote the first novel in America to be written on a typewriter ( Tom Sawyer ). One of the first telephones in Hartford, Connecticut, connected the Clemens household with the central switchboard. Twain also invested (and lost) thousands of dollars in the Paige Typesetting machine, which was supplanted by the Linotype just as videotape is being replaced by DVD. Given his interest, it is no surprise to find in h Read More Go to Site
