Download or read book Hattie and Henry of New England written by Denise Boueau Schwabe and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-01-28 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As adults, they were better known as Harriet Beecher Stowe, the famous author of Uncle Tom's Cabin--the book that catapaulted the nation into Civil War, and Henry Ward Beecher, the famous younger brother who became a much loved minister who preached against slavery and held mock slave auctions from his pulpit in Brooklyn, New York. Together they traveled through some of the most important historical movements in our country. But, in the beginning, they were just Hattie and Henry, born in the northwest hills of Southern New England and sheltered from the harsh realities of slavery. It seemed an unlikely connection to the rest of the Beecher family--the shy, tiny girl and her younger playful and dynamic brother, but it was one that took hold early and lasted a lifetime. As different as they were from one another, they became each other's support system in a large family that was dominated by a driven father, devastated by the loss of their mother, and challenged by emotional chaos. Loosely based on their childhood stories as revealed through family diaries and letters, Hattie and Henry of New England presents to young readers a fictional account of a brother and sister who helped each other find their true talents and become remarkable people. Their tale is the first in a series of Remarkable Kid Stories--a series with a positive message for today's remarkable kids.

Book excerpt: A finalist for the Lincoln Prize, The Sea Captain's Wife "comes surprisingly, and movingly, alive" (Tina Jordan, Entertainment Weekly). Award-winning historian Martha Hodes brings us into the extraordinary world of Eunice Connolly. Born white and poor in New England, Eunice moved from countryside to factory city, worked in the mills, then followed her husband to the Deep South. When the Civil War came, Eunice's brothers joined the Union army while her husband fought and died for the Confederacy. Back in New England, a widow and the mother of two, Eunice barely got by as a washerwoman, struggling with crushing depression. Four years later, she fell in love with a black sea captain, married him, and moved to his home in the West Indies. Following every lead in a collection of 500 family letters, Hodes traced Eunice's footsteps and met descendants along the way. This story of misfortune and defiance takes up grand themes of American history—opportunity and racism, war and freedom—and illuminates the lives of ordinary people in the past.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NEWBERY HONOR AWARD WINNER A classic YA novel about a teenage girl searching for a sense of home and family that celebrates the true spirit of independence on the American frontier. For most of her life, sixteen-year-old Hattie Brooks has been shuttled from one distant relative to another. Tired of being Hattie Here-and-There, she summons the courage to leave Iowa and move all by herself to Vida, Montana, to prove up on her late uncle’s homestead claim. Under the big sky, Hattie braves hard weather, hard times, a cantankerous cow, and her own hopeless hand at the cookstove. Her quest to make a home is championed by new neighbors Perilee Mueller, her German husband, and their children. For the first time in her life, Hattie feels part of a family, finding the strength to stand up against Traft Martin’s schemes to buy her out and against increasing pressure to be a “loyal” American at a time when anything—or anyone—German is suspect. Despite daily trials, Hattie continues to work her uncle’s claim until an unforeseen tragedy causes her to search her soul for the real meaning of home. This young pioneer's story is lovingly stitched together from Kirby Larson’s own family history and the sights, sounds, and scents of homesteading life.
