190073791San Francisco: The San Francisco and North Pacific Railway 1900. First edition. Oblong octavo. 12 pp. Illustrated mainly from photographs likely taken by the author's husband A. O. Carpenter. Publisher's white wrappers with printed title. Some mild sunning to edges but a very good copy. Only 2 copies located by OCLC.Squaw Rock is now called Frog Woman Rock and it is a distinctive volcanic monolith located in Mendocino County California in the Russian River canyon through the California Coast Ranges. In 1956 Squaw Rock was designated California Historical Landmark number 549 with a description based upon Palmer's 1880 Mendocino County History: "This early landmark also called Lover's Leap is associated with the purported legend of a 19th-century Sanel Indian maiden Sotuka. Her faithless lover Chief Cachow married another; all three were killed when Sotuka holding a great stone jumped from the precipice upon the sleeping pair below" State of California Office of Historic Preservation. Frog Woman is an important figure in Pomo traditional beliefs. She is generally portrayed as the clever and powerful wife of Coyote the principal trickster character in many Pomo stories. In some of the stories she is the mother of Obsidian Man. Frog Woman lived at the place that later became known as Squaw Rock. Pomo people avoided the rock for fear of being eaten by Frog Woman. "Helen McCowen Carpenter 1838-1917 grew up in Indiana and when a teenager graduated from the Bloomingdale Quaker Academy with a teaching credential. In 1855 Helen moved with her family to Kansas Territory where she began her professional career at age 17. Kansas was in political turmoil as it prepared to enter the Union and the McCowens who were staunch abolitionists worked to make it a “free†state rather than one that allowed slavery. Helen met her future husband who was also on the abolitionist side when Aurelius Ormando Carpenter was wounded fighting for the free-state movement at the “Battle of Black Jack†an altercation that is now considered the first military engagement leading up to the Civil War. After helping nurse Aurelius to health Helen and he married on Christmas Day in 1856. Five months later the newlyweds traveled west to California in an ox wagon train with Helen’s parents and other family members. Helen was four months pregnant with her first child when they arrived in Grass Valley California in October 1857. Within two years the Carpenters and McCowens had moved further west to Potter Valley in Mendocino County where other relatives were already settled. There Helen became the first teacher certified by the new County Board of Education and worked as an educator for the next decade. in 1869 the Carpenters relocated to Ukiah the county seat. There they established a photography studio where Helen assisted her husband “A.O.†by running the studio and taking portraits during his extended work-related absences as a newspaperman and traveling photographer. Her admiration for the beautiful basketry of the Pomo Indians led her to become a respected Pomo basket collector; an avocation she passed on to her daughter Grace and son-in-law John Hudson. A prolific writer whose work is now enjoying increased recognition Helen wrote and published articles and stories on the customs and history of the local Pomo Indian peoples and early pioneer days in Potter Valley and Ukiah" Grace Huson Museum The San Francisco and North Pacific Railway unknown

1877163421877. Early Advocate for educational and penal reforms. Original Autograph letter signed of Mary Carpenter to Alderman Mansfield of Northampton and original mailing envelope are pasted into the volume Letter is 1 page Jan 10 1877 signed at closing "Mary Carpenter" regarding the election of a woman to the School Board.along with 2 obituaries of Mary Carpenter who died June 15 1877. <br /> <br /> The letter states in part "Thanks for sending us the paper containing the very gratifying announcement of the election of Mrs. Mansfield.It is a grand triumph!" A note at bottom signed M.P. Mansfield explains the meaning of Carpenter's letter "This letter was written on the receipt of a paper containing the account of the election of my wife to the School Board." Carpenter was one of the foremost public speakers of her time and is best remembered for the huge contribution she made to educational and penal reform. She opened "ragged schools" to give an education to the children of the poor and introduced reformatories which took a caring and constructive stance for young offenders. Mary Carpenter also campaigned for better education for women and reforms to prisons. Following a meeting with Frederick Douglass Mary Carpenter became fervently opposed of the slave trade particularly the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850. She traveled extensively in America Europe and India where she also sought reforms similar to those she pursued in Britain. She was a pioneer in the field of equality for women and stood almost alone as a female orator who was widely listened to and respected. unknown
