No ther marks noted. She was one of America's richest women, and she managed her fortune boldly. She maintained the largest collection of European art in America. She and her husband counted the George Washingtons as relatives and seemed to know everyone in Washington and Maryland society. And in letters to her European relatives she provided an uncommonly readable account of America's early history. Rosalie Stier Calvert's greatest contribution to our understanding of the young republic may lie in her accounts of a woman's role in day-to-day family life. She writes about her relationship with her husband and the trials of childbearing and child loss, and she quietly ignores her husband's black mistress and children. She describes the management of her large household of black and white servants and complains of being overworked and underserved. Translated from the original French and arranged as a chronological narrative, the letters of Rosalie Stier Calvert are the fullest expression of a woman's life in America between the time of Abigail Adams and Mary Chesnut. Contents in 12 Chapters: The Stier Family in America, On Her Own, A Daughter's Grief, Straitened circumstances, Completing the American Chateau, Tommy Jeff's Embargo, Caught in Europe's War, America at War, Peace and returning Prosperity, A Washington Debut Last Journeys, and After Rosalie.
