I had already purchased the Documents of Freedom Boxed Set and was planning to buy a second set for a cousin of mine that lives in Florida. When I saw the new "America 250 Edition" of the boxed set, I immediately ordered same...the books are a perfect size and look very nice on my bookshelf next to all the other Arcadia/Applewood Books that are part of a collection of historical documents to be passed down to my children, grandchildren, etc. I could not be happier with this purchase, along with all the other "America 250 Edition" books that I have recently purchased!

One of the defining documents of the women's rights movement in the United States is the Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions. Principally authored by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, the declaration was signed by one hundred attendees—sixty-eight women and thirty-two men—at the Seneca Falls Convention in Seneca Falls, NY in July 1848. The controversial and courageous document stated: “…because women do feel themselves aggrieved, oppressed, and fraudulently deprived of their most sacred rights, we insist that they have immediate admission to all the rights and privileges which belong to them as citizens of these United States." It would be another seventy-two years before the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified, giving women the right to vote. This short work is part of Applewood's “American Roots" series, tactile mementos of American passions by some of America’s most famous writers and thinkers.

Twenty-four-year-old Katy Leary was hired by Samuel Clemens (better known as author Mark Twain) and his family in 1880, and for the next 30 years she worked as their seamstress, nursemaid, nanny, and lady's maid. According to Clemens family friend and author Mary Lawton, Leary seemed so a part of the household — so vital and yet so unobtrusively a factor in the life of the family. Clemens himself wrote about Katy, Fidelity, truthfulness, courage, magnanimity, personal dignity, a pole-star for steadiness — these were her equipment, along with a heart of Irish warmth, [and] quick Irish wit… When Katy was 70 years old — after the death of Mark Twain, his wife Olivia, and two of their three daughters, leaving daughter Clara to care for her father's literary estate — Ms. Leary sat down with Mary Lawton, a lifelong friend of Clara Clemens, and recounted her experiences with the family. Originally published in 1925, A Lifetime with Mark Twain captures details of the life of an important American figure, told in the unique voice of Katy Leary — her funny stories, her quaint sayings, her searching observations of life…
