Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. "Prue and I" by George William Curtis, is a series of light-hearted sketches of everyday life in mid-nineteenth century America. Originally published in 1856, "Prue and I" was much admired and read by the reading public, and went through many editions. The edition offered here was copyrighted in 1899, and this particular copy was likely issued around 1900 - 1905. It has a lovely frontispiece portrait of Curtis and a few black-and-white plate illustrations through the text. Curtis was one of the most highly esteemed orators of his day. He was an active abolitionist and gave speeches in support of President Lincoln's "Emancipation Proclamation" (Curtis had been one of the founders of the new Republican party) He was also editor of both "Putnam's Magazine" and "Harper's Magazine". A tireless champion of reform, appointed by President Grant to chair the commission on the reform of the Civil Service. he was President of the National Civil Reform League.Curtis was also one of the original members of the Board of Education for New York City and actively supported educational reforms. What an active life for public service! In between it all he found time to pen a few good books. An interesting side-note. Curtis married Anna Shaw, daughter of abolitionist Robert Shaw. she was the sister of Robert Gould Shaw, who was the gallant Union Army Colonel who commanded the famous all-black 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment. Shaw was killed in the Second Battle of Fort Wagner. The movie "Glory" is based on Shaw's life.
