1839FB1651 /7<p>Faded mauve patterned cloth binding with black title plate and gilt lettering on the spine. </p><p><strong>General William Barton and Captain Stephen Olney centre in William's work called <em>The Biography of Revolutionary Heroes</em></strong> <strong>Catharine R. Williams</strong> December 31 1787 – October 11 1872 was a Rhode Island writer and poet and a leading figure in the Dorr Rebellion in support of universal suffrage. In 2002 she was inducted into the Rhode Island Heritage Hall of Fame. Prompted by friends she published a volume called <em>Original Poems</em> in 1828. After its warm reception she began writing again and published a prose story "Religion at Home" in 1829 followed by a collection of stories called <em>Tales National and Revolutionary</em> in 1830. Williams completed <em>Aristocracy</em> a satirical novel which was published in 1832 and then the <em>History of Fall River</em> the following year. In 1835 she issued a second series of <em>Tales</em>. Williams then penned the biographies of General William Barton and Captain Stephen Olney in a work called <em>The Biography of Revolutionary Heroes</em> which was issued in 1839. The following year she travelled through the British provinces collecting materials for a book <em>Neutral French: The Exiles of Nova Scotia</em> which was published in 1841. Williams believed that her work had inspired Henry Wadsworth Longfellow to write his epic poem on the Acadians <em>Evangeline</em> 1847; though others claim it was Nathaniel Hawthorne who gave Longfellow the idea. Williams' last works were called the <em>Annals of the Aristocracy of Rhode Island</em> published in two volumes. The first appeared in 1843 and the last was published in 1845. Afterward she lived on the proceeds of her earlier twelve works.</p> Mrs Williams. hardcover
