Papers, [not after 1874].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/25861291

This collection contains a handwritten transcription of a manuscript written by Maria Arnold under the pseudonym Mary Allen entitled "Personal Recollections of Years Spent in Germany, England and America." Also included is a typescript translation of a German volume covering some of the American years in a slightly different form. The manuscripts describe life in Germany, England, Sierra Leone and in New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio but break off before the family emigrated to Wyoming. There are interesting descriptions of the famous teacher, Johann Pestalozzi, of missionary life in Africa in the first half of the 19th c., and of the reception of an African woman (a missionary's wife) in New York before emancipation. There are also copies of photographs of Maria Arnold and the Rev. Franklin Luther Arnold.
