We can thank archivist Lynn A. Bonfield and writer Mary C. Morrison, Roxana's great-granddaughter, for their painstaking labor in reconstructing this nineteenth-century family saga. Out of the scattered letters and diaries of one family, they have framed a story illustrating the tension between the desire to capture opportunities elsewhere and the pull of a mythical 'home' that bedeviled the psyche of rural New Englanders for much of the nineteenth century. The story... achieves the riches and depth of both a unique family portrait and a revealing social history., "Although centered around the lives of Roxana Brown Walbridge Watts (1802-62) and her descendants, this thoroughly researched, well written biography of a farm family is as much a social history of village life in 19th-century Vermont, specifically, the town of Peacham. . . . Throughout her life, Roxana Walbridge Watts remained the central figure of this scattered clan. She had insisted that all her children--girls as well as boys--receive a formal education. It was this shared literacy that held the family together. Its engaging personal histories have been drawn from c. 300 letters and 30 diaries preserved among its descendants. Bonfield and Morrison use these sources to discuss social change and movement in American life generally. Among other topics, the authors consider the westward migration, increasing rate of divorce, movement from rural agricultural labor to urban industrial work, and the opportunities open to versus the expectations of women during this period. . . . Highly recommended."--Choice"We can thank archivist Lynn A. Bonfield and writer Mary C.

Synopsis
Biography of Roxana Brown Walbridge Watts 1802-1862, her life in Peacham Vermont mined from a rich lode of primary material--letters, diaries, and photographs. Letters from her 6 children, 3 who moved to the midswest, two who fought in the Civil War, a daughter who left to work in the Lowell textile mills and a daughter who attended Mount Holyoke Seminary. Their writings included matters of national significance, the westward migration, the temperance and abolitionist movements, mechanizing farm life, and the increase of secularization. A fascinating portrait of an American family caught up in the sweep of a century of change., This text tells the story of Roxana Walbridge Watts (1802-1862), a farm wife in Peacham, Vermont and the 12 children she raised. Using a variety of primary sources - letters, diaries and photographs - these personal histories describe a broad range of experiences., Roxana's Children is a well-researched and well written biography of Roxana Brown Walbridge Watts (1802-62) and her descendants. The book is constructed from the descendants' 300 preserved letters, 30 diaries, and photographs from the family's village life during 19th-century Vermont. Bonfield and Morrison use these sources to discuss social change and movement in American life.

- v***v (2060)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufAlthough this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.

Both discs were in great shape as well as their jewel cases. Delivery is good, packaging is simple but effective for what you're paying and I haven't had any get damaged. Will keep buying from this vendor because of the results so far and good prices, too.
