I bet this will be an interesting book. I have no connections to the area or people but would still find it fascinating to read.
ReplyDeleteHi Lori, I don't have any connections to the people in this book either. However, the people in the book have a Lowell connection, the city that I was born in, and presently live. Basically, the book is about Eliza Bean. Born in Bethel Maine, she was a mill girl who came to Lowell and married a house painter named Henry Foster. Henry served w/ the 26th Massachusetts Infantry, and Eliza's brother, Andrew, who was a school teacher, served with the 5th Maine. The letters, diary and documents trace the life of Eliza from a mill girl in Maine, a young married woman and mother in Lowell, to a war widow, and victim of undiagnosed tuberculosis : )
