Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Folk-Lore Sketches and Reminiscences of New Hampshire Life In sending out this first volume of "New Hampshire Folk-lore" the compilers deeply acknowledge their source of inspiration to have been our beloved member, Eliza Nelson Blair, whose deep interest in the Folk-lore of her native State led her to begin the work that has now been concluded by the Folk-lore Committee. If, as we are told, New Hampshire´s best product has been men, may we not with modesty say the next best has been women, for from "those towering hills" many have gone forth splendidly equipped mentally and physically for the work of life, and have worthily filled important positions. Eliza Nelson Blair was a native of Plymouth, the daughter of Rev. William Nelson and Dolly Sumner Elliott, his wife, and she grew to womanhood in one of our best and truest New Hampshire homes, in an atmosphere of learning and refinement, a home dignified by religious thoughts and practices, and following the best traditions of thrift and right living. In "Lizbeth Wilson" Mrs. Blair has chronicled the habits of thought and of work, the various pursuits and enjoyments of the people of her neighborhood, as they were told to her by her elders and as she knew them herself in her young days in their midst, and it has given us a true history of those sturdy Godfearing pioneer citizens who were the first settlers of our State. Rev. William Nelson was one of those earnest preachers of the Methodist Church known as "circuit riders," who went up and down the hills of Grafton County "shedding his light before men." This home in the beautiful hilly section of New Hampshire was the fitting atmosphere to develop a nature of such a literary tendency, and to give it the exact thoroughness that was so characteristic of all Mrs. Blair´s work.
