About this book
Daughters of the Puritans: A Group of Brief Biographies is a book by Seth Curtis Beach, first published in 1905. The contents name Catharine Maria Sedgwick, Mary Lovell Ware, Lydia Maria Child, Dorothea Lynde Dix, Sarah Margaret Fuller Ossoli, Harriet Beecher Stowe and Louisa May Alcott. The text says that during the first half of the nineteenth century Miss Sedgwick would doubtless have been considered the queen of American letters, but that in the opinion of her friends the beauty of her character surpassed the merit of her books.
The text says of one subject that she was independent in her circumstances, exempt from struggle for existence or for social position, unambitious for literary fame and surprised at its coming. The text says Miss Alcott's first story to see the light was printed in a newspaper at the age of twenty, in 1852, though it had been written at sixteen, and that she received $5.00 for it.
