Synopsis
Excerpt from A Narrative of the Life and Travels of Mrs. Nancy Prince
By divine aid, I attempt a second edition of my narrative, with the additions suggested to me by my friends. My object is not a vain desire to appear before the public; but, by the sale, I hope to obtain the means to supply my necessities. There are many benevolent societies for the support of Widows, but I am desirous not to avail myself of them, so long as I can support myself by my own endeavors. Infirmities are coming upon me, which induce me to solicit the patronage of my friends and the public, in the sale of this work. Not wishing to throw myself on them, I take this method to help myself, as health and strength are gone.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a unique and captivating glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman who navigated the complexities of race and society in the early 19th century. The author recounts her personal journey, beginning with her challenging childhood marked by poverty and the loss of her parents. Her narrative takes a dramatic turn as she recounts her daring rescue of her sister from a life of prostitution in Boston. This episode highlights the authorââ â¢s strong moral compass and her commitment to protecting her family. The book then shifts focus to the author's marriage to a man who had found employment in Russia, a decision that led her to a life of unparalleled adventure. Readers will be enthralled as the author vividly describes her time spent in the Tsarist court, where she encountered the Emperor Alexander and Empress Elizabeth. Her account provides intimate details about Russian customs, including their rituals for death and birth, their holiday traditions, and the strict adherence to the Greek Orthodox faith. The book also delves into the political turmoil that Russia experienced during this period, including the attempted coup against the new Emperor Nicholas, and the author's own harrowing experience during a devastating flood. Throughout her adventures, the author's unwavering faith and determination shine through, offering profound insights into the human spirit's resilience in the face of adversity. The book stands as a powerful testament to the extraordinary life of a woman who rose above societal limitations to embrace a world far beyond the constraints of her time.
