Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Dream of the Adirondacks, and Other Poems Helen Hinsdale Rich, the author of these verses, was born in Antwerp, Jefferson County, New York, in 1827, in a log-cabin on the farm cleared by her father, Ira Hinsdale. He was one of the pioneers of that region, and had moved there from Massachusetts but a few years before. It will readily be understood that Helen Hinsdale had small advantage of schooling in her girlhood, and she was married at the age of twenty; her culture, as it appears in this volume, has been gained by the devotion of hours seized from the engrossing domestic cares of a busy and faithful wife and mother. With these cares, moreover, she has joined for many years an untiring service to her kind by writing and speaking in the causes of temperance, woman's rights, and whatever work appeared to her warm and earnest heart as tending to the betterment of society. She has thus been prominent in the work of the Universalist denomination, and earned a place in the book of "The Working Women of Our Church," published some years ago.
