Title: Harriet Beecher Stowe in Florida, 1867 to 1884
First published: 2001
Description: "In 1867, the famous author of Uncle Tom's Cabin relocated from Connecticut to Mandarin, Florida, to escape the pressures of her writing and to deal with personal issues. In Florida, Harriet Beecher Stowe immersed herself in programs to educate former slaves and black children. She also supervised the organization of an Episcopal church and became an early advocate of environmental protection.".

"This examination of Stowe's Florida years reveals a little-known side of this well-known writer. What emerges is a surprising personal portrait of an abolitionist author who put words into action."--BOOK JACKET.
