Description
JULIA WARD HOWE
(1819 - 1910) American writer and reformer whose stirring "Battle Hymn of the Republic" rallied Union sentiment. Good contentr A.L.S. "Julia Ward Howe" on her Beacon St., Boston letterhead, 4pp.8vo., Mar. 20[?], 1882 to FRANK H. CUSHING (1857-1900), an anthropologist and ethnologist who studied the Zuni Indians of New Mexico by entering into their culture; his work helped establish participant observation as a common anthropological research strategy. She writes, in part: "...I am expecting you and the Chiefs tomorrow...I have invited quite a number of friends to meet you and them...I am anxious to know if my interesting guests will like to have luncheon under my roof...leave a line with the clery of your hotel...many thanks before hand for the pleasure I will have from your visit...". Folds, else very good. Cushing and the Zuni chiefs were in Boston in an effort to clear up an error allowing 800 acres of their land to be sold to cattle ranchers decades earlier. Although President Arthur helped settle the matter, Cushing's reputation with the Indians would suffer grievously.
