Excerpt from Poganuc People, Their Loves and Lives, And, Pink and White Tyranny, a Society Novel Poganuc people was the last of Mrs. Stowe's novels, and it may truly be said to have shown her genius aring up at the end: she returned to early loves; She wrote with a glow of reminiscence. In December, 1876, she wrote from her Florida home to her son Charles: I am again entangled in writing a serial, 3 thing I never meant to do again; but the story, begun for a mere Christmas brochure, grew so under my hands that I thought I might as well fill it out and make a book of it. It is the last thing of the kind I ever expect to do. In it I condense my recollections of a bygone era, that in which I was brought Up, the ways and manners of which are now as nearly obsolete as the Old England of Dickens's stories is. And after the book was published She wrote to Dr. Holmes: I sent Poganuc People to you and Mrs. Holmes as being among the few who know those old days. It is an extremely quiet story for these sensational days, when heaven and earth seem to be racked for a thrill; but as I get old I do love to think of those quiet, simple times, when there was not a poor person in the parish, and the changing glories of the year were the only spec tacle.
