First among these historians stands =Mrs. Mercy Otis Warren=, the same who with Mrs. Abigail Smith Adams, the wife of President John Adams, shared the belief that the Declaration of Independence should consider not the freedom of man alone, but that of woman also. Having warmly entered the contest between England and America, Mrs. Warren had corresponded with many of the leading men of the time; these often consulted her, and acknowledged the soundness of her judgment on many of the important events before and after the war. The most valuable of her writings appeared in 1805, under the title “The History of the Rise, Progress, and Termination of the American Revolution, interspersed with Biographical, Political, and Moral Observations.” The three volumes of this work, dedicated to George Washington, are valuable as a true record of the events and feelings of those great times. To =Martha Lamb= the citizens of the metropolis on the Hudson River are indebted for a comprehensive “History of New York City.” =Agnes Laut= penned a series of articles about the discovery of the farthest Northwest. =Ellen Mackay Hutchinson= compiled with Edmund Clarence Stedman “A Library of American Literature,” which in 1888 appeared in ten volumes; it shows excellent judgment, knowledge and care. =Ida Tarbell= produced among many other works a “Life of Abraham Lincoln” and an exceedingly interesting “History of the Standard Oil Company.” =Katherine Coman= published the “Industrial History of the United States.” “A Century of Dishonor” is the title of a sensational book, written by =Helen Hunt Jackson=, and published in 1881. During her extensive travels in the Far West the author became deeply interested in the much maltreated Indians. Disgusted by the shameless robberies and lawless acts committed by many Indian Agents on the reservations, Mrs. Jackson wrote her book, which is one of the strongest indictments ever directed against the Government. Through this volume she succeeded in doing much to ameliorate the unfortunate conditions of the Red Race. =Mrs. John A. Logan= compiled a valuable volume, entitled “The Part taken by Women in American History.” Woman’s status in the laws of the forty-eight states belonging to the United States of America has been treated by =Rose Falls Bres= in the valuable book “The Law and the Woman,” published in 1917 at New York. The great movement for Women Suffrage found of course likewise its historians. Four of the most prominent leaders and best authorities: =Elizabeth Cady Stanton=, =Susan B. Anthony=, =Matilda Joslyn Gage=, and =Ida Husted Harper= combined for the difficult task of collecting, sifting, and putting together the immense mass of material. Their “History of Woman Suffrage,” published in five huge volumes, is not only a noble record, but at the same time a magnificent monument to women’s courage, indefatigability and perseverance.
