Joseph Maddock’s Diary and Letters

History & Biography

“Donne Hayden has given us a wonderful gift in transcribing and editing the diary and letters of Joseph Maddock, an Ohio Quaker whose life spanned most of the nineteenth century. Joseph’s observations and comments give us a striking portrait of his place and time. And Hayden’s sensitive editing and annotations immensely enhance the work. This book will interest anyone studying the nineteenth-century Middle West.”

Margaret Pearmain Welch (1893–1984)

History & Biography

“Elizabeth Fideler’s biography of Margaret Pearman Welch introduces us to an extraordinary woman. Born to wealth and gentility on Beacon Hill, this Boston aristocrat evolved into a New Deal Democrat and Quaker peace activist and feminist. Fideler not only details a fascinating life, but tells us much about twentieth-century American activism.”
