3. Biography A NEW ENGLAND GIRLHOOD OUTLINED FROM MEMORY By Lucy Larcom (18241893) Full text from Project Gutenberg http// digital. edu/ webbin/ gutbook/ lookup? = return to top of page http://www.alexanderstreet2.com/CWLDLive/BIOS/A40BIO.html

Larcom, Lucy, 1824-1893 Lucy Larcom was a poet, author, teacher, editor, and mill worker. She was born in Beverly, Massachusetts on March 5, 1824 to Benjamin and Lois Barrett Larcom. The Larcoms had ten children, and when Benjamin Larcom died, his wife supported her large family by becoming the supervisor of a textile mill dormitory in Lowell, Massachusetts. Lucy joined the mill workforce at the age of eleven. She wrote about the experience in A New England Girlhood (1889), in a blank verse piece An Idyll of Work (1875), and in "Among Lowell Mill-Girls: A Reminiscence" for the November 1881 Atlantic Monthly . Despite the drudgery of the work, Lucy's experience was a positive one. In 1846, Lucy left Lowell to move out West with her sister Emeline, a founder of a periodical for mill girls. She was hired by an Illinois district school, where she taught for three years. She attended Monticello Seminary in Godfrey, Illinois, and looked up to the college's president, Philena Fobes, as a role model. After receiving her degree, Larcom moved back to Massachusetts and taught literature in Beverly. In 1854, she was honored for a poem that promoted settlement efforts in Kansas. Later that year, she joined the faculty of Wheaton Seminary in Norton, Massachusetts. She taught English literature and rhetoric there for almost eight years, and influenced the entire college with her innovative teaching style. She also founded the school's newspaper, and taught courses in philosophy, logic, botany and history.

Lucy Larcom Born: March 5, 1824, Beverly, Massachusetts. Died: April 17, 1893, Boston, Massachusetts. Buried: Central Cemetery, Beverly, Massachusetts. Larcom was the ninth of ten children. Her sea captain father died when she was very young. When she was 11 years old, her family moved to Lowell, Massachusetts, where her mother got a job as superintendent of a female dormitory at the local textile mill. Lucy herself worked in the mills for 10 years. Her spirit was irrepressible, though, and she became acquainted with Quaker poet John Greenleaf Whittier , and a good friend of his sister. Thus began a lifelong association with the world of poetry and writing. In 1846, Lucy left Lowell, settling in Illinois, where she taught school for three years. From 1849-1852, she attended Monticello Seminary in Godfrey, Illinois. Afterward, she returned to Beverly, where she painted, studied French, and taught literature classes. In 1849, her work was mentioned in Female Poets of America Our Young Folks St. Nicholas , the , and the Atlantic Monthly Lucy never married. Her works include:

A NEW ENGLAND GIRLHOOD: OUTLINED FROM MEMORY By Lucy Larcom (1824-1893) Full text from Project Gutenberg: http://digital.library.upenn.edu/webbin/gutbook/lookup?num=2293 For a brief biography of Lucy Larcom, see: http://lowellonline.org/hist/history2.html (image from this site) = return to top of page Excerpts: We helped a little about the housework, before and after school, making beds, trimming lamps, and washing dishes. The heaviest work was done by a strong Irish girl, my mother always attending to the cooking herself. She was, however, a better caterer than the circumstances required or permitted. She liked to make nice things for the table, and, having been accustomed to an abundant supply, could never learn to economize. At a dollar and a quarter a week for board,(the price allowed for mill-girls by the corporations) great care in expenditure was necessary. It was not in my mother's nature closely to calculate costs, and in this way there came to be a continually increasing leak in the family purse. The older members of the family did everything they could, but it was not enough. I heard it said one day, in a distressed tone, "The children will have to leave school and go into the mill." There were many pros and cons between my mother and sisters before this was positively decided. The mill-agent did not want to take us two little girls, but consented on condition we should be sure to attend school tile full number of months prescribed each year. I, the younger one, was then between eleven and twelve years old.

A YEAR IN HEAVEN by: Lucy Larcom (1824-1893) NE year among the angels, beloved, thou hast been; One year has heaven's white portal shut back the sound of sin: And yet no voice, no whisper, comes floating down from thee, To tell us what glad wonder a year of heaven may be. Our hearts before it listen, the beautiful closed gate: The silence yearns around us; we listen and we wait. It is thy heavenly birthday, on earth thy lilies bloom; In thine immortal garland canst find for these no room? Thou lovedst all things lovely when walking with us here; Now, from the heights of heaven, seems earth no longer dear? We cannot paint thee moving in white-robed state afar, Nor dream our flower of comfort a cool and distant star. Heaven is but life made richer: therein can be no loss: To meet our love and longing thou hast no gulf to cross; No adamant between us uprears its rocky screen;

A STRIP OF BLUE by: Lucy Larcom (1824-1893) DO not own an inch of land, But all I see is mine, The orchard and the mowing fields, The lawns and gardens fine. The winds my tax-collectors are, They bring me tithes divine, Wild scents and subtle essences, A tribute rare and free; And, more magnificent than all, My window keeps for me A glimpse of blue immensity, A little strip of sea. Richer am I than he who owns Great fleets and argosies; I have a share in every ship Won by the inland breeze, To loiter on yon airy road Above the apple-trees. I freight them with my untold dreams; Each bears my own picked crew; And nobler cargoes wait for them Than ever India knew, My ships that sail into the East Across that outlet blue. Sometimes they seem like living shapes, The people of the sky, Guests in white raiment coming down From heaven, which is close by; I call them by familiar names, As one by one draws nigh. So white, so light, so spirit-like, From violet mists they bloom! The aching wastes of the unknown Are half reclaimed from gloom

18. Among Lowell Mill-Girls: A Reminiscence - Lucy Larcom 1881). Lucy Larcom (18241893) moved with her mother and siblings to Lowell,Massachusetts, in 1836, and entered the Lowell mills at the age of twelve. http://www.boondocksnet.com/labor/cl_811100_larcom.html

The Campaign to End Child Labor Edited by Jim Zwick Cartoons Photographs Poems ... Postcards Search Women's History Month Resources Among Lowell Mill-Girls: A Reminiscence By Lucy Larcom Atlantic Monthly 48 (Nov. 1881). Lucy Larcom (1824-1893) moved with her mother and siblings to Lowell, Massachusetts, in 1836, and entered the Lowell mills at the age of twelve. She worked in the mills for about ten years. In 1846 she moved to the West where she studied and taught. Larcom returned to New England in 1854 and took a position on the faculty of Wheaton Seminary where she taught classes on subjects ranging from English to moral philosophy to botany. She became a popular writer of moralistic verse and published volumes of poetry, a memoir, and a history of Wheaton Seminary. She was also an editor of Our Young Folks, a children's magazine. This essay was written thirty-five years after Larcom left the Lowell mills, and she later expanded it into a full-length memoir, A New England Girlhood, T he scenery of the Merrimack at Lowell, while lacking the grandeur of the hill region whence the river issues, has a quiet attractiveness of its own. The slaty cliffs at Pawtucket Falls bear lingering footmarks of aboriginal history, and wear the charm of remembered beauty for those who wandered in childhood and early youth among their over-hanging hemlocks and nestling wild flowers, before the picturesqueness of the place was sacrificed to manufacturing exigencies. The country slopes gently toward the river in every direction. The principal descent of water at the Falls is about thirty feet perpendicular, after which the stream foams and tumbles over a half mile or so of winding rapids, expands into a smooth, lake-like sheet, and then, joining the slower waters of the Concord, narrows itself again between wooded hills into a less abrupt succession of falls and rapids.
