Stowe, Harriet Beecher (1811–1896), novelist and abolitionist. Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote the widely popular antislavery novel Uncle Tom's Cabin, which was published in 1852 and went on to sell three hundred thousand copies the first year. Credited with mobilizing antislavery sentiment in the North, Stowe was praised, honored, and respected among African Americans both during her lifetime and in the years following. This important handwritten letter about her manuscript Sam Lawson Indian Stories wanted to make sure it was safe in her agents hands. Great content!These stories mainly published in the Atlantic Monthly and collected here. Narrated in dialect by Yankee Sam Lawson, the collection would be expanded in 1881 as Sam Lawson's Oldtown Fireside Stories. Many consider the stories among Stowe's best work.
