Page ix Acknowledgments One memorable day I discovered a treasure trove of manuscript materials of the Robinson family at the Arthur and Elizabeth Schlesinger Library on the History of Women in America, at Radcliffe College. I was drawn to work on these materials for many reasons, among them that Schlesinger Library is the pleasantest of archives in which to work and only ten minutes away from my home at that time. More important, Harriet Robinson's character has value for me in working out my own destiny, and my life has been bound up with hers for ten years.
