Lucy Larcom (1824-1893) was an American teacher and author. She was among the first faculty at Wheaton Female Seminary (now Wheaton College) in Norton, Massachusetts. Her writings often centered upon Christian themes. Excerpt from the Preface: "It was the purpose of Miss Larcom to write a sequel to her book, 'A New England Childhood,' in which she intended to give some account of her life in the log-cabins on the Western prairies as a pioneer and schoolmistress, and her experiences as a teacher in Wheaton Seminary, and as an editor and literary woman. She also wished to trace the growth of her religious ideas by showing the process through which she was led to undergo changes that finally made her accept a less rigorous theology than the one in which she had been reared. . It will be noticed that some years are treated more at length than others, the reason for this being that more data have been accessible for those periods. . Her life was one of thought, not of action. In their outward movement, her days flowed on very smoothly. She had no remarkable adventures; but she had a constant succession of mental vicissitudes, which are often more dramatic and real than the outward events of even a varied life. In her loves and sympathies, in her philosophy of living and her creed, in her literary labors, -- her poetry and her prose, -- in her studies of man, nature, and God, she revealed a mind continually venturing into the known and unknown, and bringing back trophies of struggles and victories, of doubts and beliefs, of despair and faith. My aim has been to present the character of a New England woman, as it was thus moulded by the intellectual and moral forces of American living for the last fifty years; and to show how she absorbed the best from all sides, and responded to the highest influences.".
