A staircase in a small, decorative arts museum tells a harrowing story of terror, abuse and enslavement
The staircase was originally acquired due to its craftsmanship. Only later did scholars realize that it was where Harriet Jacobs suffered abuse at the hands of her enslaver.

Oh, I'd love to read your bibliographic essay! (and cite you!) I'm most interested in the 1866 edition because of Cheney's relief work in those years! I'm eager to learn any thing I can. My university library had reached out to the LOC, and they sent me to your page. Seeing the image is a gift!

I am so happy to see this gorgeous post! My librarian found it for me via the Library of Congress! I am starting a biography of Ednah Dow Cheney, and I haven't been able to find this book! Thank you for your work--and for making it public!
