taking time during the days of the
Civil War to act as hospital nurse,
thus gaining valuable insight into the
life of soldiers. In several States she
was engaged by the Republican party
as party speaker, and in New Hamp-
shire, the only district that was lost
in one election was the district where
the party authorities had refused to
let her speak, on the ground of her
sex. She was called to Pennsylvania
in the course of the war by the gov
eminent to urge, through her
speeches, the enlistment of colored
troops for the army. In 1867 she ven
tured to appear on the stage in a
play of her own composition, "A
Crown of Thorns," but then. as in her
later dramatic attempts, she met with
greater or less failure, and so re-
turned to the field she knew better,
that of a public popular lecturer.
