Margaret Smith’s Journal: Tales and Sketches is a collection of short stories and sketches written by American poet and abolitionist John Greenleaf Whittier. The book was first published in 1889 and is presented as a fictional journal kept by Margaret Smith, a young woman living in New England in the mid-19th century.The stories and sketches in the book cover a range of topics, including love, friendship, family, and social justice. Many of the tales are set in rural New England and feature characters from different walks of life, including farmers, fishermen, and factory workers.Throughout the book, Whittier uses Margaret’s journal entries to explore themes such as the importance of community, the power of nature, and the struggle for social justice. The stories also reflect Whittier’s own political and social beliefs, as he was a prominent abolitionist and advocate for women’s rights.Overall, Margaret Smith’s Journal: Tales and Sketches is a charming and engaging collection of stories that offers a glimpse into life in mid-19th century New England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
