They Called Her Cate
They Called Her Cate is the story of Hannah Catherine Loring Langdelll's journey through life as told through the diaries she kept from 1863 when she was 22 years old until she died in 1930 at age 89. Cate, as she was called, writes about every day life on her father's farm, her endless cooking, cleaning, making washing fluid, and toxic lye soap. Cate has complete charge of running the farm house after her mother died in 1861, and sometimes, seems overwhelmed with all the work, two little boys ages 2 and 3 to care for and the endless chores that needed to be done. She writes about her husband Zaph's travels through southwestern New Hampshire, buying and selling oxen, cattle, and anything els...
Rising Water
We have followed Cate through her life of trials and tribulations, happy events, and sad ones, since her first diary was written in 1863 when she was twenty-two years old. She kept a record of everything that happened to herself, her family and friends, her constant cooking, housework, moves they made, trip they took, marriages, births, and deaths. Her life was the oxcart, whale oil lamps, and the horsedrawn carriage. Cate's life is different in Milford, no longer living on the farm, with Zaph gone all the time. After many moves, they eventually settled into the Gilson house along the Souhegan River, where Cate keeps track of the rising water at the stone bridge. New inventions are now comin...

Our Nig
With a New Preface, Introduction, and Notes by Henry Louis Gates, Jr. New Afterword by Barbara White A fascinating fusion of two literary models of the nineteenth century, the sentimental novel and the slave narrative, Our Nig, apart from its historical significance, is a deeply ironic and highly readable work, tracing the trials and tribulations of Frado, a mulatto girl abandoned by her white mother after the death of the child's black father, who grows up as an indentured servant to a white family in nineteenth-century Massachusetts.
Harriet Wilson's Our Nig
Harriet E. Wilson's Our nig (1859) is a startling tale of the mistreatment of a young African American mulatto woman, Frado, living in New England at a time when slavery, though abolished in the North, still existed in the South. Frado, a Northern free black', yet treated as badly as many Southern slaves of the time, is unforgettably portrayed as experiencing and resisting vicious mistreatment. To achieve this disturbing portrait, Harriet Wilson's book combines several different literary genres - realist novel, autobiography, abolitionist slave narrative and sentimental fiction. R.J. Ellis explores the relationship of Our nig to these genres and, additionally, to laboring class writing (Harriet Wilson was an indentured farm servant). He identifies the way Our nig stands as a double first: the first separately-published novel written in English by an African American female it is also one of the first by a member of the laboring class about the laboring class.
