The remarkable accounting of Mary Fish from birth to death.
The Buel's accurate description of 18th Century life, and of the telling of this rare woman's life are exceptional, to say the least!
This was a thoroughly enjoyable read.
Mary Fish takes us from 1736, her birth, to 1818 and her death.
The rarity of finding so much information to confirm the life of a woman in America from this era is truly remarkable! And the Buel's tell it with rare form!
From the death of children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, to that of three spouses, Mary Fish Silliman Noyes Dickinson's life is one that drew strength from her faith in God, and her belief in this great land.
Truly an inspiration, I give this work a five star rating...
...and my thumbs up award!
I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in biographical studies of the 18th century.
