LYDIA HUNTLEY SIGOURNEY: “Another Look” Early Life Lydia Huntley Sigourney was born in 1791 in Norwich, Connecticut, the only child of Zerviah (Sophia) and Ezekial Huntley. She grew up in privileged surroundings on the Daniel Lathrop estate, where her father was the custodian and gardener. Under the supervision of Daniel Lathrop’s widow, who was the daughter of the former governor of Connecticut, Lydia received an education that was both traditional and non-traditional for a young woman of her day. In addition to the usual instruction in needlework, painting, music, and penmanship, Lydia was also required to master weightier courses in composition, math, Greek, philosophy, and other subjects normally offered only to young men. Lydia’ formal education continued until Mrs. Lathrop died, when Lydia was 14. To recover from the loss of Mrs. Lathrop, Lydia was sent to live with relatives of the Lathrops in Hartford. There she was given access to an extensive library; she had frequent exposure to cultural events; and she learned how to run a noble household. She also devoted much of her time to writing prose, poetry, and prose meditations, which she patterned after traditional sermons. In 1811, at the age of 20, Lydia and a friend established a select school for ladies in Norwich, Connecticut. The following year, after moving the school to more spacious quarters in the business sector of Norwich, Lydia stepped far ahead of her historical period by holding free classes twice weekly for poor children, who, at that time, were generally not even permitted to attend school. In 1814, Lydia opened a select seminary for young ladies. Believing women to be the main source of moral strength in American households, she gave strong emphasis in her curriculum to Biblical and religious studies. In 1815 marked the publication of Lydia’s first work, “Moral Pieces in Prose and Verse.” With it, she launched a career that culminated in her becoming one of America’s most popular authors.

Sigourney Papers Griffin, George and Sigourney, Lydia Howard Papers, 1833 October 26-1854 March 6 77 items; 0.25 lin feet Background note: Lydia Howard (Huntley) Sigourney, the "Sweet Singer of Hartford" was a major figure in the rise of feminized, sentimental fiction in the second quarter of the nineteenth century. Born in Norwich, Conn., as the only child of Ezekiel and Zerviah Huntley, Sigourney was educated in the common schools of Norwich and Hartford, and from 1811-1813, conducted a school in Norwich. By 1814, Sigourney was considered successful enough as an educator to establish a school of her own in Hartford, and the following year she followed up this triumph with the publication of her first book, Moral pieces, in prose and verse In June, 1819, Lydia married Charles Sigourney, a widower with three children. Contrary to Lydia's expectations, Charles' finances were not very solid, and as a result, she turned to writing to supplement the family income. Her first efforts were published anonymously because of the objections of her husband, but as her reputation began to grow, she began to show increasing confidence in her abilities and autonomy. By the early 1830s, Sigourney was a regular and highly sought after contributor to periodicals, eventually editing her own annual, the Religious Souvenir . Although she took a dim view of the average quality of American literary outlets, her popularity eventually grew so great that Louis Godey, among other magazine publishers, was willing to pay her simply to include her name on his magazine's list of editors. A highly prolific writer, Sigourney helped to shape literary tastes in early Victorian America, spawning numerous imitators. Her writing is steeped in a prim religious moralism, with a clear fascination for death, and tends to be overtly didactic, as exemplified by works such as

Internet Research Guide Textbook Site for: The Heath Anthology of American Literature , Fourth Edition Paul Lauter, General Editor Lydia Howard Huntley Sigourney When Lafayette, the French hero of the American Revolutionary War, visited the United States in the 1820s, a procession of schoolchildren with wreaths proclaiming “NOUS AIMONS LA FAYETTE” greeted him in the city of Hartford, Connecticut. The phrase was the refrain of a poem in his honor by Lydia Howard Huntley Sigourney. This event characterizes Sigourney’s position as a writer. Her poetry, like her prose, was about public subjects—history, slavery, missionary work, as well as current events—or treated personal matters, especially loss and death, as experiences common to all. In contrast to a Dickinson or an Emerson, she wrote for popular consumption, her work expressed a communal ethic based on compassionate Christianity and on conservative republicanism. Sigourney was enormously popular. In 1848 the respected publishers Cary and Hart issued her selected poems in their series of works by American poets, the preceding volumes having been devoted to three highly regarded male writers, Bryant, Longfellow, and N. P. Willis. She was also enormously productive: at her death in 1865 she had published over fifty books. Their range attests to the variety of forms in which antebellum writers could undertake to guide the public. She wrote communitarian narratives, educational volumes, advice manuals, travel literature, temperance pieces, meditative prose, and exemplary memoirs as well as a vast and varied quantity of poetry.

Stern sickness rack'd his aged frame, Unwonted torpor stole, And death all unresisted came To claim the ransom'd soul, Which, spreading wide a wondering wing, With song of triumph past From vengeful winter's sharpest sting, High o'er the shrieking blast. Red torches pierced the midnight gloom As with the dead they hied And burst Beata's stony tomb To lay him by her side; The lip so oft her sire that blest, No filial welcome gave, As brow to brow, and breast to breast, They fill'd that frost-bound grave. Strange music mid the funeral rite! Sad dirges, soft and slow! Whence cometh, in this realm of night Such melody of wo A chapel.bell !

Home Native American Culture Index My great-grandmother was at least half Cherokee but she was an orphan and the records are confused so I have been unable to find out much about her. I have read about Native American culture and visited museums and "culture centers" but definitely am not an expert on the subject. I welcome suggestions of things to add to this page. I know it is politically incorrect to refer to Native Americans as "Indians". However, in quotes or poems from the past I leave them as is. There is a Native American ABC List A cold wind blew on the prairie on the day the last buffalo fell. A death wind for my people. (Sitting Bull) Don't let yesterday use up too much of today. (Cherokee Proverb) I don't feel we did wrong in taking this great country away from the Indians. There were great numbers of people who needed new land and the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves. (John Wayne) (talk about selfish!) Illegal aliens have always been a problem in the United States. Ask any Indian. (Robert Orben) A Native American elder once described his own inner struggles in this manner: Inside of me there are two dogs. One of the dogs is mean and evil. The other dog is good. The mean dog fights the good dog all the time. When asked which dog wins, he reflected for a moment and replied, The one I feed the most.

LC BH82 5220 (1791-1865), poet Born in Norwich, Connecticut, on September 1, 1791, Lydia Huntley worked as a schoolteacher and published her first work, Moral Pieces in Prose and Verse, in 1815, in part for the use of her pupils. After her marriage in 1819 to Charles Sigourney, a merchant, she devoted her life to writing. She wrote some 67 books and more than a thousand articles during her career; many were widely read in Europe as well as in the United States. Such editors as Louis Godey of the Lady's Book (later Godey's Lady's Book ) and Edgar Allan Poe of Graham's Magazine vied for contributions from "the sweet singer of Hartford." Sigourney's writing relied on sentimental conventions of moral and religious themes; death and piety were her most popular subjects. Her best-known prose work was Letters to Young Ladies (1833); her Illustrated Poems (1849) was published in a series that included the poems of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. She died in Hartford, Connecticut, on June 10, 1865. Her autobiography, Letters of Life

Information taking from Our Place in History 1844 - 1969 Local War History War Honors Local Town ... Area Firsts History tells us that in naming localities and streams of water, discovers and first settlers of America originated a plan of adopting Indian names. This plan was adhered to when the new county (Keokuk) was named. The Indians who dwelt in this particular locality were the Sac and Fox tribe. Their chief was Chief Keokuk, whose voice, was for peace with the white man. As an honor to this chief our county bears his name. Until the year 1837 the Indians held undisputed possession of the territory in Keokuk County. It was not till October 1837 that the red man first parted with his title to certain lands now comprised in the limits of Keokuk County, and the white man first obtained the right to gain a permanent foothold. By far the larger part of the county, however, remained in the hands of the Indians. It was not till October 1842, that the original possessors of this soil parted with their right to occupy it, and turned their unwilling steps to the far off and unknown regions west of the Missouri River. May 1" 1843 the whole of Keokuk County was thrown open to white settlement. Chief Keokuk lived but three years after leaving the Territory of Iowa. It is a concluded fact, by all the early settlers who knew him, that Keokuk possessed, in a prominent degree, the elements of greatness.
